Variable speed pool pump

The variable speed pool pump allows its user to adjust the speed according to their needs. The lower your pump speed, the more energy consumption decreases significantly. It is important to keep in mind how the pump works; you should not reduce its speed excessively, as that would not make sense. Variable speed pumps are designed to optimize motorization and hydraulics. What matters most is the flow rate and not the speed itself. Once properly set, your variable speed pump will operate at a reduced flow rate, i.e., when the pool is not in use, depending on the outdoor temperature as well as the cleanliness of your filter, which will result in energy savings.

In which situations should the speed of my pump be modified?

– Opt for maximum speed for filter cleaning
– Choose a reduced speed for a pool without swimmers and clear water
– Adopt a standard speed for normal use and efficient filtration
– Use a high speed for intensive swimming or a hot spell (depending on the volume of your pool)
– Select a high speed to run a cleaning robot.

The impact of variable speed pumps on the environment

<pThanks to the reduced energy consumption of your variable speed pump, the environmental impact is diminished. To minimize this impact, you can optimize your filtration to use fewer chemicals.

Silence and longevity of the pump

Due to its adjustability, when operating at reduced speed, the pump produces much less noise. Depending on the location of your pump, the noise level can be more pleasant, or even necessary. Since it does not always operate at full power, components wear out much less quickly, thus extending their lifespan.

A variable pump represents a significant investment

Although the cost of a variable speed pump is high, its return on investment is achieved within three to four years.

Adjustable and adaptable

The speed of a variable speed pump can be adjusted in steps of 10 revolutions per minute. You can then modify the flow rate according to your needs.

How to adjust the variable speed pump ? Using integrated or external controllers, you can change the pump speed at any time, which will allow you to achieve energy savings. You can also use pre-programmed speeds, either set by yourself or by a professional.
It is important to note the pressure on the pressure gauge once the filter is clean with the old pump. After installing the variable flow pump, increase its speed until you reach the same pressure on the pressure gauge. Then, divide this speed by two to obtain your optimal filtration speed.

Sophisticated control systems allow:

• • To maintain a constant flow rate despite filter clogging,

• • An automatic control via a home automation system, allowing the speed to be adjusted based on various parameters, such as: day and night, outdoor temperature, water temperature, disinfection level, and the state of your cover. The speed will thus be regulated according to many factors.

Important: By dividing your pump speed by two, you reduce your energy consumption by eight. (You need to filter twice as long, so electricity consumption is divided by four)
