Along with everything else.    Did you know that your pool is one of your top energy costs?

What if we told you that Penny Rich Pools, Inc. could help you reduce the cost of operating your pool by upgrading your equipment with a variable speed pool pump.

Are new variable speed pool pumps more efficient?

YES!!! Today’s pool pumps are more energy efficient than ever before. 

Thanks to advances in technology your pool pump can now operate at much higher levels of efficiency than they could just a short decade ago. This means that you can save money on your energy bill and reduce your carbon footprint while still maintaining the same level of water circulation in your pool.

A pool pump’s functions are critical to the operation of a swimming pool.  The pumps allow you to mix chemicals more effectively and clean the water, which is accomplished by going through your filter. Single speed pumps consume a lot of energy and are quite expensive to operate. Variable-speed pumps operate at different speeds using less electricity. You will notice a drop in your power bill if the pump is run at a slower speed because you are in energy-saving mode.  If you meet the energy output requirements, you may be eligible for rebates from your local utility company. 

Energy Star-certified pumps use variable speed technology to adapt their speed. The variable-speed pumps themselves are quieter as the pump is running at a lower RPM’s. And because variable speed pumps are programmed to run at lower RPM’s they create less heat and friction and therefore typically last longer than single speed pumps.

Variable speed pumps can also circulate your pool water more frequently allowing your pool to be more thoroughly cleaned by your filter. 

According to the federal government and state law, new installations must be variable-speed. When you use these pumps you will reap the benefits of immediate energy savings. In fact, according to the US Department of Energy, an efficient variable-speed pool pump can save 50% - 75% of energy when replacing a 1.5 horsepower single-speed pump. It is possible to save both energy and money with a variable-speed pump in as little as two years.

If you are looking to save money on your energy bill, then investing in an energy efficient pool pump is a smart move. Not only will you be saving money each month, but you will also be doing your part to help the environment. While there is an initial investment required to purchase an energy efficient pool pump, the long-term savings are definitely worth it.
