Considering a variable speed pump for you swimming pool or spa?
For your convenience I have posted information below.
Please contact me when you're ready to discuss your options.

A variable speed pool pump will save you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your pool (and in many cases, over a thousand dollars a year). I have one on my pool and I strongly, strongly recommend them.

Please use the energy calculator below to see just how much money you will save in electricity every year.

The Return on Investment
Variable speed pool pumps are the first to use exclusive permanent magnet motor technology. This provides typical “base savings” of 30% over pumps with traditional induction motors. Base savings only compares a permanent magnetic motor to an induction motor running at 3,450rpm for the same number of hours. It does not consider the additional savings gained by reducing the rpm’s with the use of variable speed technology.

These special pumps include a variable speed capability, along with digital controls and proprietary software that allow custom programming for optimum pump speeds for specific tasks. Different speeds can be set for filtering, heating, cleaning, spa jets and waterfalls. There are eight individual, adjustable speed settings at your command. Optimizing the speed takes advantage of the Pump Affinity Law, slow down the pump and you can cut energy use dramatically.

Where x= the reduction in pump speed
1/x RPM = 1/x2 GPM = 1/x3 Energy Used
Or 1/3 RPM = 1/9 the GPM = 1/27 the energy consumption

Here are realistic estimates of annual savings when comparing a traditional energy efficient (EE) single-speed, 2 horsepower pump to IntelliFlo in a 20,000 gallon pool. Savings are calculated using common run times of 6 and 12 hours.

At $0.15/kWh estimated savings range from $620 to $1,360 per year.
At $0.20/kWh estimated savings range from $825 to $1,810 per year.
At $0.30/kWh estimated savings range from $1,240 to $2,710 per year.

Savings may vary based on hydraulic conditions, pump models, etc., however, as you can see, the savings with IntelliFlo can be dramatic and the return on investment almost immediate. Over the long life of the pump, savings can reach thousands of dollars and kilowatt hours.
