If you need to buy a new pool pump this season, you’ll face a tough decision—should you get a single-speed, dual-speed, or variable-speed model?

Single-Speed Pumps

pool pump Cincinnati OHFor many years, single-speed pool pumps were the standard. While they get the job done, they tend to be noisy and expensive to operate. Since the pump’s motor is running at the same high speed at all times, your electric bills will increase dramatically during the months you use your pool.

Dual-speed pool pumps can be set to a lower speed, making them a more cost-effective and energy-efficient option. 

Variable-Speed Pumps

When you want to decrease your energy usage and lower your bills, install a variable-speed pump. With its permanent magnet motor, as opposed to a simple induction motor, this type of pump can run at slow speeds while circulating the pool’s water. Homeowners who install a variable-speed pool pump can use up to 75% less energy compared to traditional single-speed pumps. Variable-speed models are also quieter when operating, allowing you to have a more peaceful swimming experience. To help customers save even more money, Duke Energy® is offering a $300 rebate when you buy a new variable-speed pump.

To find out how a variable-speed pool pump can make your pool more affordable and enjoyable, contact the experts at Don Marcum's Pool Care.
