PROFESSIONAL POOL PUMP INSTALLATION
Replace an aging or failed pump with one that’s sized, installed and programmed for your pool.
Your pump runs more hours than any other piece of pool equipment. When it fails or wears out, the replacement should fit the whole system, not just the old plumbing.
YardSpring Pools provides pool pump replacement and installation throughout North Atlanta, including variable-speed upgrades. We check your pool, plumbing, filter and heater, then install and program a pump that moves the right amount of water without wasting energy.

THE HEART OF THE POOL
The pump pulls water from the skimmers and main drain, pushes it through the filter, heater and sanitizer, and sends it back through the returns. Every other piece of equipment depends on it.
A pump that’s too large wastes energy and can strain the filter and plumbing. One that’s too small leaves poor circulation, cloudy corners and heater flow errors.
Pool pump replacement is the best chance to get the size right and upgrade to a more efficient pump at the same time.
PUMP REPLACEMENT
How long does a pool pump last? It depends on the model, run hours and care, but these signs usually mean replacement makes more sense than another repair.
A motor that overheats, trips breakers or has already been rebuilt is often near the end of its life, especially on an older pump.
Cracks in the housing, volute or lid can’t be patched reliably and usually mean the pump needs replacing.
When the same pump needs repairs season after season, the money is usually better spent on a new one.
Older models can reach the point where motors, seals and other parts are no longer made or are hard to find.
Older single-speed pumps run at full speed all day. A variable-speed pump can cut pump energy use significantly.
A new filter, heater, salt system or automation can leave an old pump poorly matched to the rest of the pool.
PUMP OPTIONS
Most residential pools are best served by a variable-speed pump, but the right model still depends on your pool, plumbing and equipment.
Variable-speed pool pumps let you run at lower speeds for everyday filtration and higher speeds only when you need them for cleaning, spas or water features.
Variable-speed pool pump installation includes setting speeds and schedules so the pump filters properly while using as little energy as possible.
✓
Lower energy use at everyday speeds
✓
Quieter operation
✓
Programmable speeds and schedules
When an existing pump fails, a replacement can often fit the same footprint and plumbing with only minor changes.
We still check that the new pump matches your filter, heater and pipe size so a straight swap doesn’t create new problems.
✓
Fits existing equipment where possible
✓
Matched to your filter and heater
✓
Faster return to normal operation
Pools with attached spas, water features or in-floor cleaning often need more flow in certain modes.
We choose and program the pump so each mode gets the flow it needs without running at full speed all day.
✓
Spa and jet mode speeds
✓
Water feature and cleaner settings
✓
Automation-ready setup
PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION
We choose the pump after understanding the pool, not before.
We look at the pool, spa, existing pump, filter, heater, plumbing, electrical supply and automation to see what the new pump needs to work with.
We match flow and pump size to your pool, pipe size, filter and heater requirements rather than simply copying the old horsepower.
The old pump is shut down, disconnected and removed, and the surrounding plumbing and wiring are checked before the new pump goes in.
The new pump is set in place, plumbed with the right unions and fittings, and connected to power and any automation, within applicable electrical requirements.
We prime and start the pump, check for leaks, set speeds and schedules, and show you how to operate and look after it.
THE RIGHT SERVICE
Repair is usually the better value when the pump is in good overall condition and the failure is a replaceable part, such as a shaft seal, O-ring, capacitor, impeller or bearings.
Replacement makes more sense when:
✓
The motor has failed on an older pump
✓
The housing or volute is cracked
✓
Repairs keep coming back
✓
Parts are no longer available
✓
You want lower energy use from a variable-speed pump
Not sure which you need? We’ll diagnose the pump first and explain both options honestly.
LOCAL POOL EQUIPMENT
North Atlanta summers mean long pump run times, and spring pollen, fall leaves and storm debris add to the load on the whole circulation system.
A properly sized variable-speed pump can handle that workload at lower everyday speeds, then ramp up for cleaning or heavy debris days without running at full power around the clock.
PROPER PUMP SIZING
What size pool pump do you need? Bigger isn’t better. The right pump is sized to how water actually moves through your system.
Factors can include:
✓
Pool volume and the turnover you need
✓
Pipe size and total plumbing resistance
✓
Filter design flow rate
✓
Heater minimum and maximum flow
✓
Attached spa, water features or in-floor cleaning
✓
Salt system and automation requirements
An oversized pump wastes energy and can exceed your filter’s flow limits. We size the pump to the equipment specifications, not a guess.
THE SYSTEM WORKS TOGETHER
The pump pushes water through the filter, so the two have to match. Too much flow can overwhelm the filter. If the filter also needs replacing, see Pool Filter Installation.
Heaters need a minimum flow to run. A new pump must deliver it in heating mode, even at lower speeds. See Pool Heater Installation if you’re adding or replacing a heater.
Salt cells, automation systems and water features all depend on the right flow. We set pump speeds so each one works as it should.
ENERGY-EFFICIENT UPGRADES
A single-speed pump runs at full power every time it’s on. A variable-speed pump can run slower for most of the day, which uses far less energy and runs much more quietly.
Federal efficiency rules that took effect in 2021 mean most replacement pumps for in-ground pools are now variable-speed models, so many single-speed pumps can no longer be replaced like for like.
Is a variable-speed pool pump worth it? For most pools, yes, but savings depend on your run hours and settings. Programming the pump properly is what turns the upgrade into lower bills.

POOL PUMP INSTALLATION FAQ
Is a variable-speed pool pump worth it?
For most pools, yes. A variable-speed pump can run at lower speeds most of the day, which uses much less energy and runs quieter. Actual savings depend on your run hours and how the pump is programmed.
How long does a pool pump last?
It depends on the model, how many hours it runs, water chemistry and maintenance. Motors and seals often need attention during a pump’s life, and repeated failures usually mean it’s time to replace it.
What size pool pump do I need?
It depends on your pool volume, pipe size, filter and heater flow limits, and any spa or water features. We size the pump to your system’s specifications rather than matching the old horsepower.
How much does pool pump replacement cost?
It depends on the pump type, any plumbing or electrical changes, and automation. We provide an estimate after evaluating your equipment.
Should I repair or replace my pool pump?
If the housing and motor are sound and the failure is a single part, repair is often the better value. If the motor has failed on an older pump or repairs keep coming back, replacement usually is. See Pool Pump Repair for repairs.
Can I replace a single-speed pump with a variable-speed pump?
Usually, yes. Most single-speed pumps can be replaced with a variable-speed model, sometimes with minor plumbing or wiring changes. We check your setup first.
Do I need a new filter when I replace my pump?
Not necessarily. If your filter is in good condition and rated for the new pump’s flow, it can stay. If it’s undersized or failing, we’ll recommend the next step.
Do you program the new pump?
Yes. We set speeds and schedules for filtration, cleaning, spa and other modes, then show you how to adjust them.
