What sizes do salt water pool pumps come in?

Salt water pool pumps come in a variety of sizes, determined by factors such as pool size, desired filtration rate, and plumbing setup. The size of a salt water pool pump is typically measured in gallons per minute (GPM) or litres per minute (LPM). Here are some common salt water pool pump sizes:

Small Pools (up to 15,000 gallons):

- 0.75 horsepower (HP) pump: 40-50 GPM (151-189 LPM)

- 1.0 HP pump: 50-60 GPM (189-227 LPM)

Medium Pools (15,000 - 25,000 gallons):

- 1.5 HP pump: 70-80 GPM (265-303 LPM)

- 2.0 HP pump: 80-90 GPM (303-341 LPM)

Large Pools (over 25,000 gallons):

- 2.5 HP pump: 100-110 GPM (379-416 LPM)

- 3.0 HP pump: 120-130 GPM (454-492 LPM)

- 4.0 HP pump: 140-150 GPM (530-568 LPM)

These are just general guidelines, and the appropriate pump size may vary depending on specific pool characteristics and equipment. It's important to consult with a pool professional or equipment manufacturer to determine the optimal pump size for your salt water pool.
