Energy Efficient Pool Pumps

A New Standard in Energy Efficient Pool Pumps

Welcome to EcoPump, manufacturer of revolutionary energy efficient pool pumps. We’re going to start by answering the questions that everyone wants to know, just how efficient is EcoPump and how much does it cost? EcoPump is the one and only pump on the market that breaks the ¼ kW barrier for energy efficiency and costs less than $760. No other pump on the market can make that claim. Period.

The Nation Focuses on Pool Pump Efficiency

Nobody paid much attention to pool pump efficiency until recently. Then we got the numbers. Pool owners in the US spend about $1.5 billion per year to operate swimming pool systems. To put this in perspective, it takes 24 medium sized power plants to power the systems that keep our pools sparkling. The resulting emissions are equivalent to 1.3 million cars. It’s no wonder that states are enacting pool legislation at record pace. California, Arizona, Florida and soon to be Texas have laws that require energy efficient pool pumps.

Investing in Energy Efficient Pool Pumps

For homes with pools, the swimming pool pump is the single easiest way to drastically and immediately reduce home’s power use. The pool pump is second to only a home’s HVAC system in power consumption. In fact, a traditional pool pump commonly uses more power than all other appliances combined, minus the HVAC. If you’re contemplating energy efficient upgrades, energy efficient pool pumps should be at the top of your list.

EcoBoost Electron Storage

EcoBoost is engineered to optimize the efficiency of single-phase electric motors found in swimming pool pumps. EcoPump energy efficient pool pumps run quieter and at cooler temperatures, extending the motor life significantly. EcoBoost is the EcoPump core energy saving technology that leverages electron condensors to briefly store energy and release it at the optimal time to smooth the motor’s power output through each revolution. EcoPump's proprietary improvements go into every EcoPump, including our ¾ HP, 1 HP, 1.5 HP and 2 HP pumps. In addition to EcoPump’s incredible energy efficiency, the lower operating temperature and reduced rotation decreases stress on the entire mechanical system helping EcoPump to work without service for years after traditional pumps have failed.

EcoMode Increases Pool Pump Efficiency

If AC pool pumps operated at 100% efficiency, every kilowatt of power sent to the motor would be converted to useful work at the motor shaft. However, this never happens. Only a percentage of the delivered power is used to move your pool water. One way to increase the efficiency is to better match the amount of energy delivered to the motor with the amount of energy required to perform the work. With your swimming pool, you don’t need the same amount of power to vacuum the pool as you need to simply circulate pool water. EcoPump’s multiple speed settings allow you to use one setting when very high flow is needed or use the EcoMode for everyday circulation. Some energy efficient pool pumps require an advanced degree to program and operate. With EcoPump, each mode can be activated and turned on/off through a simple switch, economical timers, or any of the control systems that are popular on residential pools. EcoPump’s proprietary EcoBoost and EcoMode work together to save you up to 90% off your electric bill. That's $500 - $1,000 per year you can put in your pocket.

How to Determine Pool Pump Efficiency

Many pumps claim to be energy efficient, but their numbers often tell a different story. We sometimes find out that energy efficient pool pumps actually burn 1500 to 2,000 watts of power. Not EcoPump. EcoPump runs on as little as 230 watts. The good news is that anyone can look up the numbers on any motor and determine its efficiency. We simply look at the pumps amp draw. The amps multiplied by the voltage divided by 1,000 gives is the kW usage. Make this calculation for EcoPump, and you’ll see why EcoPump holds the title of world’s most cost efficient swimming pool pump.

Premium Service Plan

The last thing you want is to invest in an energy efficient pool pump that’s not going to hold up. EcoPump is one of the only pumps on the market to include a 3 yr warranty standard. That’s not an upgrade or an extended warranty. It’s standard with every pump that we sell. And it’s not just any warranty, it includes a Premium Service Plan. Some pool pump manufacturers will have XYZ company attempt field repairs. And sometimes this works fine. But other times, you end up with endless delays as you wait on scheduling and parts. EcoPump is the first pump manufacturer to offer Advance Replacement. With a small deposit, we’ll send you a replacement pump out within a few hours of your call. If the rare event of a failure, we can have you back up and running in as little as 48 hours.

EcoPump Warranty

Some energy efficient pool pumps have sensitive electronics mounted right on top of the motor. EcoPump doesn’t require any of those expensive electronic controllers that are prone to failure. But does this make sense? The motor is where the heat, moisture and vibration is. It’s no wonder that these pumps have short warranties of one year. Pool owners are often in for surprise when they find out the cost to replace those electronics is over $700, almost as much as a new pump. EcoPump has no sensitive onboard electronics. EcoPump does have a 3 year warranty to protect your investment.
