Why variable speed

Slower is far cheaper to run

Pool pumps follow the pump affinity laws: flow follows speed, but power follows speed cubed. That's why a pool pump that can slow down can use much less energy for the same filtering.

Pool pump, filter tank and connecting pipes.
  • Law 1 · Flow50%Flow follows speedAt half speed, the pool pump moves half the water.
  • Law 2 · Pressure25%Pressure follows speed²At half speed, about one-quarter the pressure.
  • Law 3 · Power12.5%Power follows speed³At half speed, about one-eighth the power.

Ideal affinity-law numbers. Real savings depend on your pool, plumbing, pool filter, the speeds your equipment needs and your power rate. Run times get longer at low speed, which is normal.

Questions

Variable-speed pool pump questions

Will a variable-speed pool pump lower my power bill?

Usually, because it can run at lower speeds. How much depends on your old pool pump, run times, the speeds your equipment needs and your rate. We'll explain the settings for your pool.

Why does it run longer than my old pool pump?

At lower speed the pool pump moves less water per hour, so it runs longer to filter the same water. It can still use less energy overall.

Can it work with my pool heater and cleaner?

Yes, when it's programmed correctly. A pool heater and some cleaners need a minimum flow, so we set those speeds when we install it.

Do you install commercial variable-speed pool pumps?

Yes, with a free energy audit for commercial pools. Commercial pool pump changes may need Southern Nevada Health District approval, and we'll tell you up front.
