Hi! My pump died 😩 Pool is ±50,000L, marbelite. What do I replace it with?09:42
Morning! 50,000L puts you in 0.75kW territory. Quick one — how bad is load shedding by you? An inverter pump could halve your electricity bill.09:44
Stage 4 most weeks… and the bill is brutal
Then the Aquagem InverEco DE18 is your answer — runs low and slow through outages, ±70% less power. Sending you a link + a standard option to compare. No pressure 👍09:46

Your pool pump is probably your second-biggest electricity cost.

A fixed-speed pump hammers at full power every hour it runs. An inverter pump does the same job at a fraction of the draw — quieter, kinder to load-shedding wiring, and dramatically cheaper at current Eskom tariffs.

Straight answers to SA pool questions

The questions our WhatsApp team answers every single day — with the same numbers we use ourselves.

Ask Your Question
What size pool pump do I need?+
For most SA home pools: 0.45kW for splash pools up to 30,000L, 0.75kW for standard 30–60,000L pools, and 1.1kW+ above that. Pipe runs and filter size shift the answer, so send us your pool size on WhatsApp — we size it free, in minutes.
Are inverter pool pumps worth it with SA electricity prices?+
Usually, yes. They cut pump electricity by 50–80% versus fixed-speed, typically paying back the price difference in 2–3 years at current Eskom tariffs — then they just keep saving. They're also far quieter and handle load-shedding schedules better.
What's the ideal chlorine level for a pool in South Africa?+
Free chlorine at 1–3 ppm with pH between 7.2 and 7.6. SA summer sun burns chlorine off fast — test twice a week in season and keep stabiliser (cyanuric acid) at 30–50 ppm to protect it from UV.
Which robotic pool cleaner is best for my pool?+
Depends on surface and size: Dolphin is the proven premium pick for marbelite and fibreglass; cordless models like the Niya Eclipse 35 shine where cables are a pain. Tell us your pool type on WhatsApp and we'll match one with current pricing.
How do I run my pool pump during load shedding?+
Aim for 6–8 hours of total filtration daily in summer, split around outage blocks with a timer or DB box. Inverter pumps handle broken schedules best; solar pool pumps sidestep the problem entirely.
Do you deliver nationwide?+
Yes — pumps, filters, cleaners and chemicals across South Africa, with free same-day click-and-collect from our Benoni branch in Gauteng. Payflex splits payment over 4 interest-free instalments.
