What's the Difference?
Single & Variable-Speed Pumps
The main difference between single-speed and variable-speed pool pumps is how they operate and how much energy they use. Single-speed pumps run at one fixed speed whenever they're on, which can lead to higher electricity bills and more wear over time. In contrast, variable-speed pumps can be adjusted to run at different speeds depending on the task — such as filtering, cleaning or heating — making them far more energy efficient and quieter in operation.
While single-speed pumps are generally cheaper upfront, variable-speed models often save you more in the long run through reduced power costs and longer equipment life.
FAQ
Your Pool Questions Answered
How long should I run my pool pump each day?
Most pools benefit from running the pump for around 6 to 8 hours a day. However, this can vary based on the pool size, usage and season. Variable-speed pumps can often be run for longer at lower speeds for better efficiency.
How do I know which pump size is right for my pool?
The right pump size depends on your pool’s volume, pipework and filtration system. A pump that's too small won’t circulate water properly, while one that’s too powerful can waste energy. Our team can help you choose the correct model.
How long do pool pumps usually last?
With proper care and maintenance, a quality pool pump can last anywhere from 8 to 12 years. Regular servicing, keeping filters clean and checking for leaks or unusual noises can help extend the lifespan of your pump.
