Pool pumps are the second biggest user of electricity in Australian homes after hot water systems, and pool pump motors are often more powerful and run longer and much faster than required.
Significant dollar and carbon savings can be achieved by adjusting the pump’s speed and run times to achieve maximum efficiency – by installing a controller or a variable speed and energy efficient pump. There is no negative impact on water quality, keeping your pool pristine.
