Standard swimming pool pumps can consume as much energy as all other home appliances combined! These energy Efficient pool pumps can often costing more than $1,000 per year! An Energy Efficient swimming pool pump can typically cut energy use up to 90%, generally saving $620 to $1,360 in utility costs annually and even more where electricity rates are higher than average.
Advanced motor technology: Hayward EcoStar, Jandy e-Pump, Jandy VS FloPro, Pentair IntelliFlo VF, Pentair IntelliFlo VS, and Sta-Rite IntelliPro pumps use an exclusive permanent magnet motor, the same energy saving design used in hybrid cars, in place of a traditional induction motor. Permanent magnet motors are more energy efficient and provide about 30% in energy savings.
Onboard intelligence with variable drive: Variable speed capability, digital controls, and proprietary software that allow custom programming of optimum pump speeds for specific tasks - filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, waterfalls, etc. The result is additional energy savings...up to 90% compared to even high efficiency, single-speed, two-speed and multi-speed pumps that cannot be adjusted. For virtually all applications, the optimum speed will be lower than the preset, unchangeable speeds of older pumps. Using slower speeds takes advantage of a fundamental pump law: slower is far more efficient. In fact, when pump speeds are reduced by half, energy consumption is just one-eighth of what was previously used.
Energy efficient pool pumps are also the quietest pumps available: The exclusive permanent magnet motor that is so critical for energy savings is also a totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) design. This combination, along with slower operating speeds, is responsible for Energy Efficient pool pumps being the quietest pumps you can install. At typical speeds you can barely hear them operating.
Longer trouble-free service life than conventional pumps: The advanced motor technogly in these Energy Efficient pool pumps produces far less heat and vibration than traditional induction motors for dramatically longer equipment life. TEFC design protects against all threats posed by an outdoor environment. Energy Efficient pool pumps features built-in diagnostics that detect and correct conditions that cause premature failure, thereby protecting against overheating, freezing and voltage irregularities. |
