Variable Speed Pump Installation in Thousand Oaks, CA

A Smarter Way to Circulate Your Pool

Older single speed pumps run at full power every minute they are on, even when the pool only needs gentle circulation. A variable speed pump can run at lower speeds for most of the day and increase speed only when needed, such as for vacuuming, heating or running water features.

Running slower uses much less electricity, which can make a real difference in pool energy costs. Variable speed pumps are also quieter and put less stress on the filter and plumbing. Energy efficiency rules in California and at the federal level also limit which pool pumps can be sold today, so many replacements now call for a variable speed model.

What Installation Includes

A variable speed pump installation typically covers:

Reviewing your pool size, plumbing and equipment
Recommending a pump suited to your pool
Removing the old pump
Plumbing and wiring the new pump
Programming speeds and run schedules
Checking flow, filter pressure and connected equipment
Showing you how to adjust the settings

Setting It Up the Right Way

The savings from a variable speed pump depend on how it is programmed. We set speeds and schedules based on your pool size, your filter and any heater, salt system or cleaner that needs a certain flow. That way the pool stays clean while the pump runs as efficiently as possible.

If you have pool automation, or plan to add it, we can connect the new pump to your controls. With 20 years of experience installing and repairing pool equipment, we make sure your new pump is set up correctly from the start and explain how to get the most from it.
