Pool Speed Pump to Help Save Time & Money

Electricity bills can be a daunting expense, especially when you’re running a pool. The good news is that there are several ways to cut these costs and save hundreds of dollars each year, all while maintaining a beautifully clean pool.

A top tip is to replace your single-speed pump with a multi (or variable) speed pump. They’ve been engineered to significantly reduce high electricity consumption and CO2 emissions.

Why Choose a Pool Speed Pump?

The energy-efficient pool speed pumps we stock feature variable speed motors with 3-speed settings, allowing you to set the pump to a low, energy-saving flow rate. By operating at a lower speed, these pumps use up to 80% less energy compared to traditional single-speed pumps. Not only will this help reduce your carbon footprint, but you'll also see significant savings on your electricity bill—often enough for the pump to pay for itself within a short period.

Other Energy-Saving Pool Tips

In addition to upgrading to a pool speed pump, there are other simple ways to make your pool more energy-efficient:

  • Switch to LED Pool Lights: Replacing halogen lights with energy-saving LED options can cut your lighting costs by up to 85%, with LED lights boasting a lifespan of over 70,000 hours.
  • Use a Pool Cover: A pool cover can reduce water evaporation by up to 97%, saving you up to 50% on heating costs.
  • Optimise Filtration Times: Running your pool filtration system on a timer, especially in the cooler months, reduces energy use since less chlorination is needed.

By making a few simple changes, such as installing a pool speed pump and using energy-efficient accessories, you can lower your pool’s running costs and enjoy an eco-friendly backyard oasis. Contact us today to learn more about upgrading your pool equipment and cutting down your energy bills!
