Interested in Saving up to 80% on Your Pool’s Energy Costs?

A variable speed pump is the answer! In most cases, pool owners with a variable speed pump have reduced pool-energy costs by up to 80%.Think about how much time you actually use your pool or spa. If you have a single speed pump, once turned on, it runs at a constant speed and thinks you are using your pool or spa all the time. Single speed pumps are your traditional pool pump and have been in use for decades. They are extremely noisy and inefficient and could easily be the most expensive appliance in your home.A variable speed pump will only use the minimum amount of electricity, and then speed up when you want to use your pool or spa. They utilize what’s known as a permanent magnet motor, which is also used in electric cars. Variable speed pumps allow you to “dial in” the exact flow rate needed for your pool. The idea is that by reducing the flow rate of water, there is less friction, which makes the entire system dramatically more efficient. They are also much quieter, vibrate less, run cooler, last longer, are digitally controlled and have advanced diagnostics. At Atlantis Pools, we began using variable speed pumps in our client’s pools about ten years ago and have had tremendous success with them. Without fail, after variable speed pump installations, we get feedback from happy customers excited about their PG&E savings.
