Pump savings calculator

Pumps - New energy requirements for pool pumps save money!
Everyone wins with energy efficiency. National and state regulations require new pool pumps* be two-speed or variable-speed. These pumps deliver immediate savings on your electric bill that can range from 75% - 90%.

Variable-speed pumps can be set to run at a lower speed but still obtain the same or better cleaning/sanitation by running for longer periods of time
Lower speeds reduce energy use to 1/4 of what it was, despite the increased run time.
Lower speed also means less noise from the pump.
High speed is still available for occasional needs such as spa therapy jets, pool cleaners or water features.

*If total Horsepower is one or greater.

A small increase in upfront costs will save a significant amount of money over the pump’s lifetime! The pump can pay for itself in energy savings in as little as two years.

Use the pump savings calculator sponsored by Pentair Water Pool and Spa to see what you can save!

Why is now the right time to address this portion of your home energy budget?

Pool filtration costs are listed as the 2^nd or 3^rd largest energy cost in the home, following your AC and hot water expenses.
New regulations mandate more efficient equipment.
Energy savings will decrease your monthly costs.
To be environmentally responsible.

Ask a pool professional to provide an estimate of savings based on your specific pump and pool. Find a Florida Pool Pro^sm in your area.

Example of potential savings:

You have a 1 1/2 HP, Single-speed Filtration Pump:
     Running speed                                    3,450 rpm
                2.76      Estimated Kw used per hr.
           x $0.14      Average cost per Kw
          = $0.39      Cost per hour
     Average running hrs.                                    10
     Est. cost per day (10hrs x $.39)                $3.90
     Est. cost per month                             $117.00
     Est. cost per year                              $1,404.00

Replace it with a 1 1/2 HP, Two-speed Filtration Pump:
     Running speed                                    1,725 rpm
               .368      Estimated Kw used per hr.
          x $0.14       Average cost per Kw
          = $0.05      Cost per hour
     Average running hrs.                                    20
     Est. cost per day (20hrs x $.05)                $1.00
     Est. cost per month                               $30.00
     Est. cost per year                                 $360.00

That is a savings of over $1,000 per year! Once the savings pay for the upfront cost of the pump, that is money in your pocket! (Will vary based on specific pool)

Covers - Significantly reduces evaporation and this keeps the pool temperature up, reduces water needed to refill, reduces chemical consumption and keeps debris out. More information coming soon!
