What is a Variable Speed Pump?
By far and away, one of the most common questions or concerns to owning a pool is that it can be a drain on your electrical bill.
Now, let me start by saying that Variable Speed pool pumps haven't just arrived on the scene. However, it's the new standard of the future and one which everyone should be riding.
By consuming less energy and increasing pool circulation and filtration they are designed to circulate the pool more efficiently. The biggest part is they also can cut your energy consumption up to 90% versus the traditional pool pump.
Let's create an example to see just what you can save if you already have a pool, or are looking to install a new pool.
If you have a 20,000 Gallon pool that runs on a 16 hour cycle (what we recommend here in Charleston, South Carolina during the summer months) and you are using a 1.5 horsepower pump your average energy costs are roughly $ 992.80 per year. That's $ 82.73 per month.
With a Jandy VS FloPro Pro Series Pump by Atkinson Pools and Spas you can save $ 930.00 dollars per year by switching. Not only are you saving money on your energy costs immediately, but you can also increase the healthiness of your pool by circulating and filtrating your pool for longer periods while STILL saving money versus the traditional one-speed pool pump.
At Atkinson Pools and Spas, each new pool comes equipped, standard, with the Jandy VS FloPro because not only are we striving to reduce energy consumption, but we're also on the look out to make sure you are using the absolute best products available on the market (while saving you money and time in the process). Who doesn't want more money and time?
It's not just for new pools either. You can switch your current pool pump out for the Jandy VS Flo Pro and it will pay for itself within months!
