Is this pump Energy Star compliant? How about a 1HP model? Our power company offers rebates if it is.

Hi Walt, No this pump does not have the Energy Star Seal. I would Suggest The Raypak 1.65 HP Variable Speed Pump which is Energy Star Rated.

Is there a quality difference between the Raypack and this pump, motor, or seals ? Im replacing a hayward single speed super pump 1hp. Will one be a better fit ?

I would stick with the super pump personally. It's going to be a more durable pump. If you're trying to switch to a variable speed pump I would still stick with the super pump variable speed model.

I have a 1.5hp single speed motor that is probably over 5 years old and is probably reaching the end of its life expectancy. Why does a pool pump need a variable speed, the pumping conditions are constant, so what would cause the variation?

Hello Tom and thank you for your question. We have an excellent How to Save Money Using a Variable Speed Motor guide on our website that should answer all of your questions.

I'm trying to decide if this pump would make sense for recirculation in my 450 gallon Jacuzzi hot tub. i was using a very small 1/3 HP (I think) pump but I am not sure if at 450 rpm it might not still be too big and wste more energy than another 1/3HP ordinry pump would. Do you have any data on RPM versus GPM and watts?

Hi Nick, I would not recommend this pump to circulate the water in a 450 gallon hot tub, the Waterway Iron Might Circulation Pump is your best option for such an application.

Current pump was using too much electricity

Written on 11/2/2018 by Guest

I ordered the 1.5 Hp variable speed pump to replace my single speed pool pump. I received the pump two days after I ordered it and the packaging was excellent. The only problem with installation (other than the replumbing) was that the 1/2” threaded female receptacle for the conduit attachment for the electrical hookup was defective (threads were incomplete). I ended up filing them out oversize so that I could attach my electrical watertight conduit to the pump.

This is a great pump. I measured electrical draw and GPH for various pump speeds. The head on my pump installation is 25 feet. At 750 rpm the pump uses 52 watts and pumps 4.7 GPM (282 GPH). At 1500 rpm the pump uses 86 watts and pumps 705 GPM. At 2250 rpm the pump uses 370 watts and pumps 1900 GPH. At 3450 rpm the pump uses 1000 watts (I couldn’t measure output because the flow is so high). As you can see, this pump saves tremendously at lower pump RPM. I am currently using the pump daily for 12 hours at 1500 RPM for about 1 kW per day or $5 per month!! This is an 80% savings over my previous pump. This pump saves so much that it will pay for itself in less than one year.
