TWO SPEED PUMPS:The least expensive and simplest innovation is two-speed pumps:
|
|
| PROS: -least expensive -simple to install -switch speeds with a toggle switch -rapid payback |
CONS: -speeds are fixed, no adjustment capabilities -some pools will not prime on low speed -many solar heaters and cleaners require high speed -may require a secondary time clock to control speeds |
VARIABLE SPEED PUMPS:Variable speed pumps require a higher initial investment, but have more capabilities and can yield greater savings. - Variable speed pumps usually have a minimum of four speeds. - The speeds are all adjustable for the greatest efficiency of each pool function. - Some variable pumps have built-in controllers, so timeclocks are not needed. - Most variable speed pumps can be readily integrated with existing pool automation systems. - Some pumps are available with Safety Vacuum Release Systems (SVRS) to prevent suction entrapment. - Microprocessor-controlled pumps can adjust automatically to your pool and monitor pool conditions.
