It is ideal when your pool has water features like a fountain or waterfall.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medium-head pump:<\/strong> A medium-head pump can produce moderate pressure.

Harris is more popular because of its affordable price and the variety it offers. Intex\u2019s pumps are more suitable for above-ground pools, and most of them come with a digital control.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other end, Hayward and Pentair are more expensive but come with the latest pool technology. Even though they are costly, these pumps are highly energy-efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here you will find the top brands and average costs to buy them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pool Pump Brand<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Average overall cost&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Harris<\/td><td>$200 &#8211; $500<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Intex<\/td><td>$200 &#8211; $567<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hayward<\/td><td>$367 &#8211; $1,333<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pentair<\/td><td>$467 &#8211; $1,467<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-cost-by-pool-size\">Cost by Pool Size<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Larger pools obviously require larger, more powerful pumps. The more powerful the pump, the higher the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The chart below illustrates the type of pump you need for each pool size, and its cost. If you\u2019re not sure how many gallons your pool is, use this equation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Length x width x average depth x 7.5 = volume (in gallons)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pool Volume (in gallons)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pump Size (in HP)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Pump Cost (without labor)<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>5,800 &#8211; 10,800<\/td><td>0.25<\/td><td>$98 &#8211; $139<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>10,200 &#8211; 16,500<\/td><td>0.5<\/td><td>$110 &#8211; $120<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>16,500 &#8211; 30,000<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>$143 &#8211; $750<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>21,700 &#8211; 30,000<\/td><td>1.5<\/td><td>$195 &#8211; $939<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>40,000 +<\/td><td>2-3<\/td><td>$285 &#8211; $2,200<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-labor-cost\">Labor Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In general, the more time that is required to install a pool pump, the higher the labor cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re replacing an existing pump with the same pump type, you can expect to pay an average of <strong>$167 <\/strong>in labor costs. However, if you\u2019re replacing the pump with a completely new pump type, you can expect labor costs to range between <strong>$220 and $407<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you need any additional repairs along with the pump installation, you will pay separately for them. On average,<strong> a plumber charges between $48 and $167 per hour<\/strong>, while <strong>an electrician charges between $57 and $130<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Additionally, labor costs may increase if you hire the contractor after business hours or during peak pool season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-pro-cost-vs-diy-cost\">Pro Cost vs. DIY Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, the cost of materials and supplies needed to install a pool pump ranges from <strong>$27 to $30<\/strong>. You will need to add the price of the pump itself to get an approximate estimate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you&#8217;re interested in DIY installation, we don\u2019t recommend doing it yourself, as it involves significant plumbing and electrical work. Some pool companies require professional installation to maintain the warranty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Improper DIY installation can lead to costly repairs for the pump system and personal injury or irreparable damage to the pool equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-other-factors-that-affect-cost\">Other Factors That Affect Cost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to pool size and pump type, there are a few factors that affect the overall installation cost:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-timer\">Timer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A timer prevents a pump from constantly running so you don\u2019t have to to turn it on and off manually. It can be very useful for saving electricity because you can set the time and speed at which the pump will run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pool pump timer costs between <strong>$20 and $275. <\/strong>Some pumps have built-in timers, but they are more expensive than regular ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"8-excavation\">Excavation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most homeowners have the pump installed underground for in-ground pools. You will pay extra for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"9-warranty\">Warranty<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A warranty covers repairs for your pump. Once the company&#8217;s warranty expires after the purchase, you have to pay<strong> to renew<\/strong> it. Warranty renewal depends on the brand and model you purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"10-faq-\">FAQ&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741745750153\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Does the motor affect the function of the pool pump?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If your pump stops working, the motor is probably to blame. The motor circulates water and is the most likely part to fail. <strong>The cost to replace a motor can range from $65 to $650, including labor.<\/strong><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1741745754176\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">How long do pool pumps last?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If you take good care of the pump, a pool pump can last between 8 and 13 years.
