Traditionally pool pumps have come in a limited number of designs, generally one speed, sometimes two speeds. Their motors are set at a given level of power that cannot be changed, a speed that is almost always higher than is required, using more energy than necesssary, wasting energy, to be more specific. What's more, traditional pumps generally use induction motor technology, which is not the most efficient. The result of this is that pool pumps use a lot of electricity, frequently over $1,000 per year, contributing to the lament of pool owners over the cost of pool ownership. This is such an issue that in some part of the United States, laws are being passed to prevent the sale of these legacy technology pumps.

At Pool Service America, we offer as an option the latest model pool pumps with cutting edge energy saving technology, including variable speed pumps and multi-speed pumps that can be fantasically energy efficient. Some of these pumps are totally automatic, with a microprocessor to determine and maintain the lowest amount of water flow for maximum performance and minimal energy use, and use extremely efficient permanent magnet motor technology such as that used in hybrid cars.

Pool Service America is proud to be one of the first South Florida companies to recognize the value of these new technologies - value to the customer in better water quality, reduced noise pollution, longer pump life, and reduced energy consumption (so much so that the savings frequently covers the entire cost of the pump in just a couple of years) - and value to our treasured environment (again due to reduced energy consumption), which can use all the help it can get.

At Pool Service America we are intimately familiar with the features, advantages, benefits, and considerations of variable and multiple speed pool pumps.
