On average, a well-maintained pool pump can last 8 to 15 years. However, it’s essential to monitor its performance. If you notice reduced efficiency, increased noise, or frequent repairs, it may be time to consider a replacement.

The horsepower (HP) of your pool pump should match your pool size and flow rate, which usually ranges from 40 GPM to 80 GPM. Generally, pool pumps range from 0.75 HP to 3 HP. Opting for a higher GPM flow rate can help reduce wear and tear on your pool equipment.

The cost of a pool pump can vary significantly based on its type and specifications. For example, low-head pumps range from $250 to $1,600, medium-head pumps from $400 to $2,500, and high-head pumps can exceed $1,250 to $4,000. Single-speed pumps typically cost between $250 and $1,000. It's essential to choose a pump that fits your pool's needs and features.
