Variable speed pumps consistently deliver superior electric savings in all phases of operation up to 80% Energy Savings! SPLASH equips their variable speed motors with high performance permanent magnets , the same type used in hybrid cars. The permanent magnets dramatically increase the pumps efficiency. Incredibly quiet motors cooler operation gives you a longer pump life and increased efficiency.

Completely enclosed motor design keeps the motor clean and dry under all conditions further increasing the motor life. Touch pad controls makes programming simple and easy.

Common sense pump design to accommodate all types of equipment both new and aftermarket. By reducing the speed of the pump (RPM) you can dramatically reduce the electricity required to maintain your pool. Single speed pumps run at one unchangeable high speed.

Since the speed cannot be changed they are a one size fits all and almost always run at a speed much higher than the task demands. This wastes a tremendous amount of energy. Single speed pumps run at such high speeds that they actually decrease filter system efficiency and fail to clean up to their potential. The VAR series pump can be run at the factory pre-programmed speeds or reset to the speeds needed to run pool equipment such as heaters, cleaners , salt systems and even waterfalls. The control pads allow for easy setting of the optimal speed for each application.

As for filtering, slower is better. The slower the water passes through your system the more debris is removed.

Since the cost to operate your pump at the slower speeds in minimal, you can run it longer and greatly reduce the occurrence of algae. Variable speed pumps give you a cleaner pool at a fraction of your current operating cost.
