Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document outlines three compelling reasons to invest in a variable speed pump for pool maintenance, highlighting its advantages in noise reduction, efficiency, and energy savings.
Reason 1: Noise Reduction
Variable speed pumps are among the quietest in the world, operating at an average of 20 dB quieter than single-speed pumps. This is due to their unique motor technology, which allows them to run at low speeds with minimal noise, akin to a whisper.
Reason 2: Enhanced Filtration and Water Quality
These pumps provide superior filtration quality by allowing water to circulate slowly through the filter, improving the efficiency of treatment products. Continuous circulation ensures homogeneous mixing of pool chemicals, making them an essential component of automatic water treatment systems.
Reason 3: Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
Variable speed pumps consume 70% less energy than single-speed pumps. They operate efficiently at low speeds, reducing energy consumption significantly. Over five months, they use considerably less energy, leading to substantial savings on energy bills.
Additional Features
Pentair's variable speed and flow pumps (VSF) offer additional benefits, such as maintaining a constant flow rate by adjusting to pressure drops due to filter clogging. They also provide total pool control via smartphone apps, allowing for easy management and monitoring.
Conclusion
Variable speed pumps are a prime solution for pool maintenance, offering quiet operation, enhanced water quality, and significant energy savings. Pentair provides a range of these pumps, each with unique features to suit different pool setups.

Shh, it’s running! One of the quietest pumps in the world We all know silence is golden: did you know that the variable speed pump is one of the quietest pumps in the world? Its unique motor technology provides silence like no other: when running at a low speed, it sounds like nothing more than a whisper. A variable speed pump is on average 20 dB quieter than a single speed pump, i.e. 75% less noise.

Unmatched efficiency for crystal-clear water Optimum filtration quality The slower the water circulates through the filter, the better the filtration quality. The variable speed pump allows continuous filtration at a slow speed with the option to backwash the filter at maximum speed. A better efficiency of treatment products Pool water is continuously circulated. This enables more homogenous mixing of the products within the pool. For permanent water quality monitoring, the variable speed pump is an essential asset to an automatic water treatment system. BENEFIT FROM A CLEAN, CLEAR POOL WITH...

Spectacular savings! Payback after just a few seasons A variable speed pump uses 70% less energy than a single speed pump What makes owners of variable speed pumps especially happy are the clear energy savings they see in their bills at the end of the month. With increased performance and less energy lost, the variable speed pump can operate more easily at low speeds and offer lower flow rates, allowing for significant energy savings. Why? Because when the flow rate is halved, energy consumption is reduced by eight! It even consumes less when running 24/7! Over a period of around 5 months, the...
