There are many energy conscious practices that you may already be implementing around your home such as shutting off the lights when you leave a room or unplugging appliances when not in use, but did you know that there are ways to conserve energy when it comes to your pool too?
One of the best ways to reduce a pool’s energy consumption is by installing a variable speed pump. A well-designed variable-speed pump can reduce the energy costs of running a swimming pool by up to 90 percent. Most variable-speed pumps can be programmed to operate at set speeds to deliver the correct flow for each task they perform, such as operating a suction-side pool cleaner, waterfalls or spa jets. Some pumps have built-in constant-flow software, which maximizes the advantages of variable-speed technology; constant-flow pumps automatically adjust their speed and deliver the required flow for each programmed task.
In addition to their energy-saving properties, variable speed pumps have a dramatically quieter operation – as low as 45 decibels – about four times quieter than most traditional-style pumps. This equates to about the noise level of a human whisper. Not only will you be reducing your energy bill and helping the environment, you will also be making your outdoor living area a more tranquil space for you and your family to enjoy.
