Pool pumps are used to maintain the flow of water being pulled from and pushed into a pool. The water is pulled from the pool by a brass or plastic impeller that is shaft driven by an electric pump motor. On the way to the pump, the water is under a vacuum, which creates the suction. After the water leaves the impeller, the water is put under pressure, being pushed until it is released into the pool. Generally, the motor of a pool pump lasts for about 8 to 10 years and thus requires no such repair in the running period. When a motor of the pool pump gets damaged, there is no need to change the pool pump, its plastic accessory and others parts can still be used and the motor could be repair and changed.
