Variable Speed Pool Pumps
An Easy Way to Save BIG
Pool pumps consume between 3,000 to 5,000 kWh of electricity per year. In California this often equals an added electricity bill of more than $1,000 per year, excluding the additional cost of heating your pool. Most older pool pumps are single-speed—they run at full speed whenever they are on, making them oversized for the average pool. California even outlawed the sale of single-speed residential pool pumps over 1 hp in 2009 because of how wasteful they can be.
How Can I Save Money?
Switching to a variable speed pool pump can reduce your pump’s energy consumption by 50%-75% due to a slight decrease in pump speed and flow as shown in the table below:*

Sample Savings Calculation:
According to a model from Energy Start, switching a single-speed pump that runs for 8.5 hours per day to a variable-speed pump will save 4,262 kWh or $938 per year and $12,184 over the pump's life (10 years).
