POOL PUMPS Since the 2021 LAW
Just as an engine is the heart of a vehicle, the pump is the lungs of a pool. It’s the key component of the filtration system that keeps your water clean. For installations, we recommend a medium head, variable speed, high efficiency pool pump, right-sized for your pool. The incremental cost of the variable-speed pump is now low enough that the transition becomes a no-brainer and the payback is quick.
The DOE’s Energy Conservation Standards for Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pumps of 2021 require variable-speed pumps for powering pool and spa filtration systems. The pool pump is the second largest energy expense next to the air conditioner in a home. These new pumps pay for themselves in 1-5 years of energy savings.
Variable Speed Motors
The latest technology in pool motors brings greater pool-energy efficiency via the magnetic drive variable speed motors that are a minimum of 30% more efficient than the older technology. These motors operate at lower speeds producing savings from 75%-90% by comparison. A serious incentive for pool owners to upgrade! Serious Savings. Speedy pay-back!
Intelliflo® Pumps
We service, sell & install the best variable speed pool pumps on the market today. When your pool requires variable speed power up to 3 HP, we recommend the Intelliflo® line to meet your needs. When Pentair introduced IntelliFlo variable speed technology, it ignited a marketplace revolution with its energy efficiency, near-silent, reliable operation & long service life. Numerous programmable speed settings & a built-in timer ensure the pump runs at optimum speed & duration. An ultra-efficient permanent magnet motor design reduces noise and vibration for greater efficiency and longer pump life.
If you need a new pump and motor but not the HP of the Intelliflo®, then the AquaPro Systems® pumps can meet your needs with variable speed pool pump technology down to 1HP along with the Waterway™ Power Defender. Both pump lines are Energy Star® certified.
