Your pool pump is the driving force behind your swimming pool’s entire system—without it, your pool simply can’t function. By circulating water through the pool filter system, a pump helps evenly distribute sanitizing chemicals and maintain clean and safe water.
We offer three main pump types, each with its own set of features and price points:
Every pool pump consists of three key components: the motor, the impeller, and the strainer basket. As water moves through the system, the basket captures debris like leaves, hair, and twigs. The impeller, connected to the motor, pulls water through the filtration system and debris basket, before sending it back out via return jets.
In essence, your pool pump carries water to the filter, heater, and chlorinator, where it’s cleaned, heated, and treated; then returns it to the pool, fresh and ready for swimmers.
With efficient hydraulics, a good pool pump not only prevents stagnant water, but also powers other vital components like pool heaters and sanitizers. The right pump can drastically reduce your maintenance time by keeping your pool water clear and balanced.
Our online-store carries a wide selection of high-performance pool pumps from top manufacturers including Hayward, Pentair, Sta-Rite, Carvin, and more.
Choosing the right pump for your in-ground pool is essential. From trusted brands and a variety of motor sizes (0.5 HP to 5 HP), we help make the selection process easier. If energy efficiency is your priority, a variable speed pool pump is your best bet. These models can be up to 80% more efficient than traditional single-speed pumps, offering long-term savings.
We also stock genuine replacement parts for all inground pump models we carry. If you’re unsure where to begin, reach out to us and we’ll help you find the perfect solution.
We stock only top-rated above ground pool pumps from industry leaders like Hayward and Carvin. While you might be tempted by cheaper alternatives, inferior pumps often lack noise control, energy efficiency, or warranty support.
Our above ground pumps are available in 1 HP and 1.5 HP models, featuring easy-to-clean baskets and strong warranties. Choosing a quality pump means more time swimming and less time maintaining your equipment.
A booster pump provides additional water pressure for systems that need extra power—particularly pressure-side pool cleaners. These pumps aren’t meant to replace your main pool pump but work alongside it to enhance performance.
Booster pumps include a motor, impeller, inlet, and outlet, and some models feature pressure sensors for greater control. Unlike standard pumps, booster pumps don’t self-prime and must be installed after the filtration system—typically between the return lines and pool jets.
They’re ideal for pools that demand powerful, efficient cleaning. At Toronto Pool Supplies, we carry premium booster pumps from Pentair and Zodiac.
The total cost of the swimming pool pump in Canada depends on the type of device you choose and the installation complexity.
Average cost of pumps:
A pool pump installation typically adds another $200 to $500, depending on your location and setup.
Even when running a pool pump of high-quality, you eventually need to replace it. If your pump makes unusual noises, won’t turn on, or struggles to maintain pressure, it may be time for a replacement.
Here are a few signs it’s time to consider a new pump:
| 1. Age | If your existing pump is more than 10–15 years old, parts may be harder to find and repair less cost-effective. |
| 2. Housing Damage | Cracks in the outer casing may indicate internal damage as well. In these cases, repairs can exceed the cost of a full replacement. |
| 3. Obsolete Materials | Older pumps made from bronze or cast iron are heavier, louder, and less efficient. Modern pumps use composite materials that resist corrosion and perform better over time. |
| 4. Motor Failure | If your device is completely silent and no troubleshooting resolves the issue, the pump motor may be dead. In this case, replacement is likely the most practical option. |
| 5. Repair vs. Replacement Rule | If repairs exceed 70% of the new pool pump cost, replacement is usually the smarter long-term decision—especially since new pumps come with updated pool service warranties and greater energy efficiency. |
Though the upfront cost may seem steep, investing in a well-built pump has long-term benefits:
At Toronto Pool Supplies, we’re here to help you choose, install, and maintain the best pump for your swimming pool anywhere in Canada. Explore our full selection of pool equipment today and make your next summer swim-ready.
