Is there a maximum flow rate for a pool pump?
As our pool water makes it through the line to the pump, it is passed to another restricting element known as the pool filter. Every filter has a maximum flow rate as well, and if you go over that flow rate your water will not be filtered properly. We have included a chart so you can size your pool filter properly.
Can a pool pump be run 24 / 7?
Oversizing pumps have become such an issue that the State of California (a big pool state), recently enacted a law to control how big of a pump could be placed in a swimming pool. While it might not seem possible, it’s actually less expensive to run your pool water pump 24/7 if you have the correct pump in place.

What should the GPM be on a pool pump?
This number is important because your pool filter has a maximum flow rate, which is measured in GPM. The pool pump’s GPM rating should be below the pool filter’s maximum flow GPM rating. If the pool’s turnover rate is higher than the filter’s maximum GPM, the filter is undersized and will not work properly.
