Centrifugal pumps are a type of pump that utilizes the power generated from spinning impellers to move fluid through a piping system. They are ideal for larger pools and can provide greater pumping power than other types of pool pumps. Additionally, centrifugal pumps require less maintenance than submersible pumps, making them more economical. However, they can be noisier than other types of pool pumps and can be more expensive to purchase.
