Going Variable Speed With your Pool Pump

Nearly silent operation and longer life are automatic side benefits of new technology
Few pool owners realize their pool pump can use more electricity than all the appliances in their home—often costing more than $100 per month. That’s because most pool pumps are traditional single-speed models with ¾ HP or larger, induction-style motors. For decades this was the norm because electricity costs were low and supply was abundant.

Fortunately, now there are digitally controlled, variable speed IntelliFlo® and IntelliPro® pumps with permanent magnet motors.

Permanent magnet motors assure a 30% base savings compared to induction motors. Then, savings build up to 90% with the ability to custom program the optimum pump speed or water flow for different functions—filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets, and water features.

The secret to minimizing pump energy use is to operate at the lowest speed needed to accomplish a job. It takes far less energy to move water slowly than quickly. In fact, reducing pump speed by half reduces power needed to an eighth of what was needed previously to get the job done. A good analogy is your car…you get far better gas mileage at 30 mph than at 90 mph. These new pumps allow you to set and adjust pump speed to achieve the minimum energy use.

Additional benefits of variable speed pumps
Permanent magnet motors produce far less heat and vibration than traditional induction motors, resulting in not only less stress and wear on pump components, but on other equipment, too. Expect dramatically longer life for greater return on investment.
IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps are the quietest ever built. Operating at optimum speeds, along with their totally enclosed fan cooled (TEFC) motor design are the primary reasons for their near-silent operation.
Add or change equipment and features without concern about pump performance and efficiency. Add a solar system or water feature or change your filter. Just push a button to set the new, optimum speed to operate with the lowest energy use.
Built-in diagnostics detect the most common causes of premature pump failure—overheating, freezing, and voltage irregularities—and corrective action is taken. The totally enclosed motor design provides added protection for long, trouble-free pump life.
Ability to alter the effects of water features. Just dial up or dial down to add height to deck jets and fountains or flow to waterfalls.
