Most people view their pools as just a huge hole in the ground they swim in when they get hot. Not everyone gets to see the machines that keep it going hard at work because they are hidden away in the pump room. In fact the water pump is the heart and soul of the whole pool set up! An average pump system has an electric motor that rotates an impeller inside the pump housing. The impeller pushes the water from the assorted drains through the filter and back to the water inlets. Right before the water courses into the pump it passes through a metal strainer that seizes the debris that could potentially clog your pump. Starite is another company that has withstood the test of time. Having been a leader in the pool industry since 1934, Starite has strived to continuously improve the way water moves throughout your pool.
