How Much Can You Actually Save With A Variable Speed Pump?

Understanding how your pool system works will enable you to troubleshoot potential problems more easily and build a foundation for learning about each piece of equipment, such as the pump, filter, or heater. This guide will explain the entire swimming pool plumbing and filtration system, complete with diagrams.

How Do Swimming Pool Systems Work?

Pool water moves in a continuous cycle driven by the pump. Equipped with an electric motor, the pump has an impeller that drives water through the skimmers (at the top of the pool) and the sumps (at the bottom), directing it to the filter. The clean, filtered water is then piped through the return nozzles (a series of small valves placed around the pool).

After adding MagnaPool® minerals to the water, it passes through the Hydroxinator cell (clear canister), where the Anode and Cathode create a reaction that produces active chlorine. A byproduct of this reaction causes scale to form on the plates, to combat this, the polarity of the plates is reversed regularly.

The benefits of this process?

1. MagnaPool® generates 40% less chloramine than salt electrolysis + traditional filtration systems. 2. Chloramines develop 4 times slower with a MagnaPool® System than with manually-treated water or with salt electrolysis. 3. MagnaPool® treatment does not generate any very basic soda unlike salt electrolysis so there are no harmful effects on water balance.
