Variable speed pool pumps can create noticeable energy cost savings and they leave your pool just as clean and sparkling a single speed pool pump.
 
Running your pump at half speed uses a quarter of the energy required to run it at full speed. Even though the amount of time the pump needs to run will double, the savings are well worth the change. Running your pool pump for 8 hours on full speed costs twice as much as running it on low speed for 16 hours. Longer circulating time can also help to reduce algae and increase chlorine production in salt system pools.
 
A variable speed pool pump can still be used at full speed for vacuuming, backwashing and other necessary maintenance. 

Roseville residents can receive up to a $100 rebate for the purchase of a qualifying variable speed pool pump. 

Benefits

Save energy: Variable speed pumps can operate at different speeds, or revolutions per minute (RPMs), depending on the situation, so they only use as much energy as is needed.

Save money: Variable speed pumps can save up to 90% on energy costs compared to single- or two-speed pumps.
