How
2-Speed Savings Are Achieved
|
|
|
|
 |
A
2-Speed motor runs at about 3450 rpm (revolutions per minute) at high
speed (the same as a 1-speed motor) and 1725 rpm at low speed. Thus,
low speed water flow is reduced by about 50% compare to high speed. |

|
 |
A
typical 1.5 H.P. pump draws about 1.9 KWH (kilowatt per hour) in high
speed operation. However, in low speed in draws 0.57 kWh The energy
(electricity) to run a motor at low speed drops by 70%! |

The
2-Speed Energy Saver provides a minimum amount of high speed operation
before switching to the cost saving low speed mode. Pools with D.E.
filters or sand filters require high speed operation at the start
of the filter cycle. Most pools with automatic cleaners require additional
high speed operation. The amount of high speed operation can be selected
to match the requirements of the pool and equipment. |
