How to Size a Pool Pump for a Sarasota Pool
Published 2025-02-15
Pump sizing depends on pool volume, plumbing size, filter capacity and turnover targets — one common target is a full turnover in 8–10 hours.
Many Sarasota residential pools run comfortably on a mid-size variable-speed pump at moderate RPM for most of the day, ramping up briefly for cleaning cycles.
Oversizing can hurt efficiency and increase wear on filters and heaters. A site visit from a qualified pro helps remove the guesswork.
