Do above ground pools pumps have to be on 24/7?

No, try running it for 8-12 hours a day.

Yes if the sub station were the power comes from goes down, it won't make a difference where your lines are

Allows work, and play, to be conducted 24/7\n\nIn the old days fuel was too costly to keep the lights on all night.  Lights Out really meant Lights Out.

Most repudible operators have 24/7/365 service, and take care of all outages quickly.  However all will have a "maintenance window" usually 1am-4am, during which they do work on the network.  During this time some services may not be available.

They probably pump it up and fill it. Lke allwater towers there are pipes going both up and down. Once filled though, they can leave it alone for awhile. Usually there are sensers inside that relay to a computer and alerts when the tower is getting low. In small towns I know sometimes they put too much water in and it isn't used. Thats why they sometimes flush it. But I would research the topic in an online enclycopedia.

Before and during construction period of the basement, you have to perform "dewatering" the surroundings, i.e. pumping the water 24 hours a day until the surface is lower than the foundation. On the outer side of the basement concrete, you must place water-proofing sheet before cementing them. However, since the water will give huge pressure to the basement, you have to divert the force by either using  submersible pump(s) to pump out the water automatically when it reaches certain level, or make drain(s) to the lower level, for example to the river down hill, if the situation is suitable.

It all depends on what you are operating and why. 230 volt runs slower making it more energy efficient. That is why, as an example, pool equipment runs on 230, as opposed to 110. It needs to run for longer periods of time, stays cooler to last longer, thus saving you more money! But the energy companies you get your electricity from don't want you to know that. They would lose money. That is why pool pumps can run either way, fast and more sucking power or slower and more energy efficient. But, the washing machine and refrigerator are both 110 volt, the most expensive appliances to run in a household. They both run for long periods of trime. You do the math and say what is better.

I sent an email regarding this to you earlier.\nNo, do not drain the pool completely. Drain only to just below the level of the returns as they are typically the lowest part of the plumbing system. \n There's a lot more to closing a pool than just draining it down a bit. If you want a pool closing guide I have typed up, mail me back.\n\nEdit: As requested, princess, here's the generic guide.\nIdeally, your closing starts a week before you actually get down to putting the cover on. Get your water balanced chemically first. That week allows you to do this.\nOn closing day: Vac the pool and drain it to just below the pool returns. They are typically the lowest point in the system. When drained to that point, add in a winterizing chemical kit (most pool shops sell them), they typically contain an algaecide, shock and sequestering agent . Remove ladders and rails. You may remove the diving board if you wish, or cover it in opaque plastic sheet and secure it. If you totally remove it,  place something over the diving board jig bolts and lube those bolts or tape with duct tape that jut up through the deck. This can prevent stubbed toes and saves the jig bolts from corrosion.You're done at the pool for the moment. Head over to your pool equipment. If this is a sand filtered pool, you ought to have done a backwash, during the draining process, to clean out the filter. If a D.E. pool, then the same applies to clean off the elements. You can remove them later for a thorough cleaning. If a cartridge filter, just remove the cartridge and clean at your leisure.\nFor all filter types, there will be a drain plug, remove it and keep it out.\nOver to the pump. All inground pumps will have 2 plugs, one midway back on one side and one directly in front.All above ground pumps have a single one, located at the front, under the impellor housing. Remove them and place them in the pump basket along with your filter drain plug. It's a nice , safe place, that you won't lose them in, as you'll leave the pump basket right where it is. This next part all depends on your pool plumbing, you'll have to decide the best route as they are all plumbed differently and the many different ways to blow out lines would be a book unto itself. You'll need to tap into both the return and the suction lines. Typically for the returns, you disconnect a line between your filter and heater (if equipped) and for the suction, you can go directly in from the front of the pump, without disconnecting anything. Doing it this way, will allow you to blow all the water out of the heater, pool returns, any waterfall or fountain(if equipped) or attached spa. Same goes for the suction line for skimmer, in wall suction for a pool cleaner and attached spa suctions (if equipped). You can rent a line blower from a rent all or your local pool shop, or you can use a medium sized shop vac that has a blow feature. The shop vac hose is actually the same diameter as the inside diameter of most pool plumbing (1 1/2 inch) so it makes a good fit. Blow out the lines, until you only see a tiny dribble at the pool, both suction and return. Charge the line with plumber's antifreeze (not automotive) and blow that through to the pool, for all lines. When you see the dye colour of the antifreeze at the pool, it means that the antifreeze protection is sufficient. Plug with your telflon taped winter plugs, all lines ending at the pool. Put something squishable (empty chemical containers or an old partially filled inner tube) into the skimmer to protect it from freeze damage. Remove the pressure guages from the filter and put them in the pump basket with your equipment plugs.\nThere are 3 basic types of pool heater, electric, gas and solar. You don't mention which you have, so I'll assume if you do have one, it's gas. Open the drain cocks on both sides of the heater header (you blew out all the water , when doing the lines, should just be a little anti freeze tha

id go to the manufacturer if it didn't come with a manual\n\nor just open the cover and put grease on everything that moves\n\nor call your local tide & time & weights & measures service  agency  place.  if they verify that what the pump says is being pumped actually is, then they might also know maintenance or atleast where to find it.

Hi. The most efficient way would be to bypass the power to the pump used to raise the water in the first place and use it directly. This would eliminate friction losses and generator losses.

You can get them, but you must know the manufacturer as well as the model of the pool. Different manufacturers use different styles and colors. Nothing is universal anymore!

Yes, Sometimes. Not 24/7

all you want, just a little at a time. Try a concrete boom pump if you want any kind of volumne. A Putzmister, 52 meter can pump 200+ cu yards an hour.

wells u can do without electricity but water i dont think can do with out without electricity do the things the hard way without water probably die...

Insufficient information. Are you building a dog house or a million barrel a day refinery? Is the locate remote, offshore, next door, only accessible in summer, etc? \n\nWho is the designer, who is the constructor, who is the owner, who is the operator, what is the role of any governmental agencies, etc?

You always get pump supplies from the pump company.They will educate you and train you on their pump.\nCongrats. This is a big move and gives you so much more control.
