Pool Pump Installation, Correctly Sized and Properly Wired
A new pool pump is only as good as its installation. We size the pump to your pool and plumbing, connect it correctly, and test it under real conditions before we consider the job finished.
Why Correct Sizing Matters
The most common installation mistake isn't the wiring — it's the pump itself. A pump that's undersized won't turn over your pool's water often enough, leading to algae and poor filtration. One that's oversized wastes electricity and puts unnecessary wear on your filter and plumbing. Because we also repair and rewind pump motors day to day, we size every installation against your pool's actual volume and pipe diameter, not just the model that happens to be in stock.
What's Included in Installation
- Sizing assessment.
Pool volume, turnover requirement and existing plumbing are checked before we recommend a pump. - Removal of old pump.
The existing pump is safely disconnected and removed, if applicable. - Plumbing and electrical connection.
The new pump is plumbed in and wired to the isolator and circuit correctly. - Function test.
The pump is run and checked for flow, noise, leaks and correct current draw before hand-over.
Pool Pump Installation — Frequently Asked Questions
Pump size depends on your pool's volume, plumbing pipe diameter, and how many hours a day you want it to turn over the water. We calculate this on-site rather than simply matching the old pump's size, since an undersized or oversized pump both cause problems.
Yes, we can install a pump you've sourced yourself, though we'll check it's correctly matched to your pool and plumbing before installing it, and flag it if it isn't.
If the motor can be repaired or rewound cost-effectively, that's usually the better option. We'll assess your existing pump honestly rather than defaulting to a new installation, and only recommend replacement when it genuinely makes more sense.
Yes, installation includes the correct electrical connection to your pump's isolator and circuit, done to standard, along with the plumbing connection.
