Pool Pump Energy Efficiency and Savings

Did you know a single-speed pool pump can cost over $1,000 in electricity each summer in Ontario? Many older pumps are oversized or running far longer than necessary, circulating the entire pool volume 4 to 6 times per day, when 2-3 turnovers are typically sufficient.

If your pool pump is making loud squealing noises, the bearings may be corroded, causing the pump to run at an even worse efficiency. In some cases, power consumption can double. It’s like driving down the highway at 100 km/h with your brakes halfway on, you’ll burn more gas and strain the engine.

Upgrading to a variable speed or variable flow pump can drastically reduce operating costs while keeping your pool water safe and clear.
