Variable-Speed Pumps

Variable-speed pumps adjust their motor speed to match exactly what your pool needs at any given moment, cutting energy use by up to 80% compared to older single-speed models. Sta-Rite and Pentair models run quieter at lower speeds while still delivering full flow for vacuuming or heating cycles. Many utility companies offer rebates for switching, and most jurisdictions now require variable-speed technology for new pool construction.
