Conventional pool pumps use the same high pump speed regardless of the task assigned, even though filtration, the number one task of a pool pump, requires one-half the speed (using one-eighth the power) of pool vacuuming. Variable speed pool pumps deliver the right speed for different tasks, using much less energy.

Variable speed pool pumps:

  • Use up to 70% less energy than standard pool pumps
  • Save you up to $350 per year in energy bills
  • Provide a return on investment in less than two years
  • Reduce the energy required for filtration, cleaning, and circulation of swimming pool water
  • Operate more quietly
  • Have a longer useful life


Is it Time to Take the Plunge?

Your pool pump may show these warning signs of wearing out and wasting energy:

  • Seems less powerful than in the past
  • Makes noise
  • Occasionally gets hot and shuts off
  • Won't start or starts slowly
  • Is seven to 10 years old
