PoolPump.com is an independent buying-guide and referral site for pool pumps — we don’t sell equipment or perform repairs ourselves.
We compare variable-speed, above-ground, and pool-heat-pump models across the major brands, publish a free sizing calculator, and connect homeowners with independent local pros when a pump needs to be repaired or replaced. Everything here is written to help you make a faster, better-informed decision — not to move inventory.
What PoolPump.com is
We’re a research and referral resource. Our buying guides pull from manufacturer specifications, U.S. Department of Energy efficiency data on variable-speed pumps, and publicly available owner feedback. Where we link to a retailer, we say so, and we may earn a commission on a resulting purchase — see our Affiliate & Editorial Disclosure for the full breakdown.
Our sizing calculator estimates a recommended flow rate (GPM) and pump horsepower range from your pool’s volume and desired turnover time. It’s a starting point for a conversation with a pool professional — not a substitute for an on-site evaluation of your plumbing and equipment pad.
What PoolPump.com is NOT
- Not a pool equipment dealer or manufacturer. We don’t hold inventory, set prices, or offer warranty service. Purchases happen on the retailer’s site, under the retailer’s terms.
- Not a pool-service or repair company. When you request a repair quote through this site, we pass your request to independent local professionals in your area. Any work performed, pricing, and scheduling is between you and that pro — we’re not a party to the transaction and don’t guarantee outcomes.
- Not a rebate or utility program administrator. Any mention of utility rebates for variable-speed pumps is general guidance; rebate availability and amounts vary by location and change without notice — always confirm current terms directly with your utility.
How we work
Guides are researched from manufacturer documentation, DOE data, and owner reports, and are dated so you can see how current the information is. We’re upfront that this site is monetized through affiliate commissions and repair-lead referral fees — disclosed on every relevant page — and that monetization does not determine which products or brands we cover.
