Guide To Best Pool Pumps for Variable Speed, Multi-Speed and Single Speed
The right pool pump is crucial for keeping your pool clean and operating efficiently. There are various options for energy-efficient pool pumps to meet different needs and budgets.
Hayward Pool Products is a leading pool equipment company in the pool industry. Here, we provide an overview of Hayward’s variable-speed, multi-speed, and single-speed pool pumps to help you determine the best option for your pool.
Variable Speed Pumps
Variable speed pumps are the most energy-efficient pool pumps available. They operate by adjusting the pump speed to match the pool’s needs. This allows them to save up to 90% on energy costs compared to single-speed models.
The main benefits of Hayward variable speed pumps include.
- Ultra energy efficient – Saves up to 90% on energy costs compared to single-speed pumps. This can add up to over $1,500 in savings per year.
- Quiet operation – These pumps operate quietly by running at lower speeds most of the time.
- Advanced programming – This allows you to set optimal pump speeds for different functions like filtering, heating, and cleaning.
- Longer pump life: Variable speed operation reduces wear and tear on the pump.
Some top Hayward variable speed pump choices are:
- TriStar VS Pump – An ultra-efficient and fully programmable variable speed pump. Comes in a variety of horsepower sizes.
- Super Pump VS – A budget-friendly variable speed pump with basic programming. Available in 3/4 to 3 horsepower models.
Multi-Speed Pumps
Multi-speed pumps offer increased efficiency over single-speed models by allowing you to run the pump at lower speeds for basic functions. This can reduce energy usage by up to 75% versus single-speed pumps.
