The team at Max Fox Electrical can help with all of your pool maintenance needs. We are a Tamworth pool pump supplier, with quality pumps and chemicals from Davey. Our pool technicians can inspect your current pool pump (any make and model) and advise you of any servicing or repairs that it may need.
We are licensed warranty agents for a range of swimming pool pump brands, and we install and service all pump brands. We offer free pool water for testing as well, so call in anytime with your sample.
Do you need help selecting the right pool pump and filter for your new or existing swimming pool? Max Fox Electrical can help you with our handy size guide and pool filter information.
Use the formula guide below to calculate the volume your pump needs to handle. If the depth of the pool varies, work from the average pool depth.

Selecting the Right Filter Type
Here are some of the pros and cons of the different types of pool filters on the market.
Filtration Clarity
Sand Filter
Filtration Clarity
Media Type
Very Good Sand/Zelbrite which is re-used for several years
Very Good Element which is replaced after 2-3 years
Cleaning Method
Backwash - Reverse flow of water through filter to flush out dirt
Remove element and hose down
Loss of Pool Water
Yes, due to backwashing
No, as backwashing not required
Ease of Operation
Very simple as the sand/Zelbrite does't need to be handled or frequently replaced
Requires a little more attention as element should be removed and cleaned regularly
Operating Cost
Low as sand/Zelbrite is virtually permanent
Medium - Low water loss but occasional element replacement
Initial Cost
Medium
Low
