Swimming pool pump motors

How they work
Energy-efficient pool pump motors use better magnetic materials, multi-speed options and less horsepower to reduce the amount of power used to keep your pool clean.  

Types available
Energy-efficient models are usually multi-speed, though some single-speed pump motors are available.

Benefits

  • Energy-efficient models are smaller and run quieter than larger, standard models.
  • Multi-speed options allow the pump to run at low speed, keeping it cooler and extending the motor life.
  • Pool water circulates through the filter longer.
  • Less energy is used, adding savings to your monthly electric bill.
