Pool Pumps

Currently there are 2 types of pumps available to run a pools filtration system.

As of July 2021, the National Pool Pump Code is changing. NO 1.0 HP or larger pumps nor 2 speed pumps can be installed or repaired. Only the installation of smaller pumps (3/4 HP or less) or variable speed pumps, which use up to 90% less energy will be installed or repaired.

Variable Speed Pumps, These have electromagnetic motors ( very high energy efficiency ) Max RPMs is 3450, but can be adjusted down to flow only at a rate that the pool needs. While single speed pumps may be using over 2000 watts an hour, variable speed pumps may end up at 200-400 watts per hour. Each pool is different depending variables of size, solar, floor jets, pool vacuums etc. But the beauty of these pumps are they are adjustable to accommodate what your pool needs and they save energy at any speed. In most cases they will pay for their cost in energy savings in less than 3 years. We have installed more of these pumps in our area than anyone else locally, and we set it up the right way, and us as a licensed pool contractor will be able to get you the longest warranty possible. In some brands we are the warranty station if a repair is needed.

Reason for changes in 2021 by the State of Florida. With hundreds of people moving into Florida every day, the power grid struggles some times, and with no one wanting a new Power Plant in your back yard energy efficiency on appliances is becoming critical. Everything being replace or install must meet efficiency standards and laws will be changing to do this.
