In Episode 2 of the INYOPools Podcast, the guys dive into variable speed motors and how they become a must-have on most modern pools.
We explain the differences between single speed and variable speed pool pump motors; the discussion highlights the major advantages of the variable speed’s energy efficiency and the pump scheduling flexibility it provides the user. The VS motor’s ability to throttle its RPMs means it can be added to most equipment pads without changing much, if any, hardware (besides the shaft seal and assorted gaskets.)
But VS motors are not all up-side; we get into the high upfront costs of switching to a variable speed pool pump. We talk about how the energy savings earned from a VS motor are centered around the user efficiently scheduling the pump run times and speeds. A motor’s RPM speed and time of day it runs can have a big impact on the energy cost savings you’ll see.
We discuss all that and have a good bit of fun along the way. We hope you enjoy the show, and make sure you subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don’t miss an episode.
