Which pump for a natural swimming pool?

Which pump for a natural swimming pool? Are you looking for a pump for a natural swimming pool? There are several questions to ask. First of all, what is the filtration system used for your natural swimming pool? Do you have a "bead" system, a mechanical filter, lagooning? Or several solutions?

These several filtration systems will determine the pump to choose for your natural pool. If you have a shark-bead type system in mechanical filtration, you will often work with a self-priming "swimming pool" type pump.

Most of our customers have a mechanical filter + lagooning (filtration by plants). There are different types of facilities.

  • Suction in the swimming area with a pump, or bottom drain, to then discharge the water under the lagoon (if possible).
  • Suction in the lagoon area through a drain system connected to the pump, in general, a pumping chamber is created in the lagoon, connected to drains.

To choose a natural swimming pool pump for lagooning, it is recommended to pass all the water in your natural swimming pool once every two hours. If you have a 20M³ swimming pool, you will opt for a 10,000L/H pump which crosses the lagoon.

There are two types of lagooning:

  • downflow
  • upflow

Hello

I am looking for a pump for my natural swimming pond to take water from the bottom of the pond 3m deep and to then pass it through a non pressurised UV filter and a 3 chamber sponge filter. The maximum rate needs to be no more than 10,000 litres per hour.

Pump needs to be self priming, ideally with variable speed but I can use a control valve.

It is for natural water , no chemicals . Any suggestions ?

Bonjour je suis à la recherche d’une pompe pour piscine naturel, mais je ne sais pas la quelle serait le mieux adapté. Ma piscine sera en partie filtré pas un lagunage + une pompe à gravillons.
Et la totalité fait 146m3 dont 38 son réservé pour le lagunage j’espère que vous pourriez m’aider à y voir un peu plus clair en vous remerciant par avance.

Cordialement Mr Guitel Nathan
