When you run the pump at lower speeds that means you re using less kw or energy from your power company.
Variable speed pool pump flow rate.
Another pump affinity law teaches that when the pump speed is reduced by half the flow rate is only reduced by half.
Eight programmable speed or flow settings and built in timer.
However you will not get maximum efficiency from a dual speed pump because they cannot be fine tuned to specific flow rates.
It s like having cruise control for your pump.
This side by side comparison of hayward variable speed pump flow rates shows just how similar minimally different the flow rates are in these pumps.
With this feature you can use less energy when high speed circulation is not required.
The hayward sp15932s powerflo is one of the best dual speed pool pumps available.
Using a variable speed pump can cut associated energy costs up to 90.
We carry large items like heaters pool covers spa covers and portable spas as well as small and hard to find items like fittings.
Intelliflo vsf pump is the first variable speed and flow pump that adjusts to changes in flow conditions to maintain its preprogrammed flow rate to run optimally throughout the entire filtration cycle.
Our goal is to make your swimming pool and spa inviting and healthy by offering a selection of tens of thousands of products and parts for every imaginable need.
Even though the ecostar and the tristar 2 7 hp for example are rated as twice as powerful as the maxflo and super pump vs models the actual flow rate is only at most 23 gpm different.
It can be used at 3 450 or 1 725 revolutions per minute thus allowing you to throttle the pump s flow.
A variable speed pump allows you to lower the motor s rpms to the minimum speed needed to turn the water over or to maintain your pool equipment.
But the flow rate at the slower speed is lower than at the higher speed so the pool must be operated for a longer period of time to process the same volume of water through the filter.
