Benefits of a Variable Speed Pump
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2016
- In this video I cover some of the great benefits of replacing your standard speed pump with a Variable Speed Pump. A Variable Speed pump like the Jandy VS FloPro that appears in this video series does just what the name implies, it runs at different speeds known as RPM.
By running at variable speeds which I will refer to as RPM, the pump consumes less power as it is running at a lower RPM. Just to contrast, the 2 HP WisperFlo pump I replaced would run at 2400 Watts each hour for 4 hours a day - consuming 9,600 watts or 9.6 kWh of electricity.
By running my Jandy VS FloPro at 1750 RPM for 7 hours a day, it generates 230 watts every hour or 1.7 kWh per day. That is a savings of 7 kWh per day or 210 kWh per month. If you are on a tiered billing system like I am here in California, this can translate into overall savings by keeping you in a lower Tier with lower per kWh rates.
To see how much you can save each year try entering your current pump size and run time in Jandy's online calculator. I can almost guarantee that the savings in the first year will pay for the VS pump itself: www.jandy.com/e...
There is the upfront cost of replacing your existing pump but that will be offset by years of savings. So the number one benefit of a variable speed pump is the energy savings each year. This benefit alone is enough to make the switch in most cases.
Since the VS pump is running at a lower RPM the motors on the VS pumps are very long lasting. Imagine running a Marathon at full speed without slowing down from mile one to mile 26. That is how a standard speed pump runs all day long. Over time the bearings start to wear out, the motor gets loud and the internal parts like the impeller wear down. And they don't make pool motors like they used to, you are lucky to get 4 years out of a motor built in today's market.
The VS pump in contrast uses a DC motor or Direct Current motor as opposed to your standard pump running off of AC or Alternating Current. The DC motor can better handle running at variable speeds, and since the motor is rarely running at it's full 3450 RPM, the lower speeds translates into less strain. So instead of running a marathon everyday with 4 minute miles, which would create much strain and wear on your feet, legs and body, a VS pump walks the 26.2 miles each day.
I have several VS pumps on my pool route that or 8 or 9 years old, the first generation of these pumps, and they are all working just fine. I have yet to replace a VS pump motor. So the long term investment in a VS pump should include at least 2 motor replacements of a standard speed pump at the cost of $400 each.
A great side benefit of a VS pump is it's longevity along with the money you save on energy, you save money also on replacement costs. Something that is often overlooked.
Pool pumps are noisy. And if you have one running up against your house, you hear it everyday. When you are outside enjoying your backyard, the drone of the pool pump is constant. Since VS pumps run at a lower RPM, the pump runs much more quieter. In fact at 1750 RPM you have to check to make sure it is really running. Even at 2400 RPM it is still much quieter then a standard speed pump. After installing my VS pump I frequently step in the equipment area to see if it is running. My pool equipment sits right up against my home office and now I never hear it running.
With a VS pump you can enjoy a much quieter backyard experience. It is a great side benefit, and along with the great energy savings, makes replacing your loud standard speed pump even more inviting.
So there you have it. Three great benefits of a Variable Speed pump.

Have prices not come down since thhey 1st came to market? Doesnt seem like the price has changed since the 1st Pentair models 20 years ago.
How long do they last vs static speed.pumps? Some amazon reviewers say they only lasted then like 3 yrs which barely nets savings if any?
Should last 10-12 years. Prices are actually up.
I just purchased this pump. It allows me to connect to the VS network but won’t connect to the home internet to allow me to set up the app. Any idea?
Call Fluidra/Jandy on Monday. They may need to zap the pump for you. Sometimes they can reset it from their end.
I have a Sta Rite Intelli Pro VS pump in a 22,000 Gal inground plaster pool. I have a setting for the spillway, vacuum, Spa mode, and low to circulate the pool. What do you recommend are average settings for RPMs fr the different modes? What times and for how log do you set yours for? I am in so cal. if that helps. Thanks!
Usually 2 speeds are enough for everything. I am running my pump at 1700 RPM for 5 hours - this is enough for my spa spillway and then I run it on 2600 RPM for my cleaner connected to my vacuum port for 2 hours each day. This gets one cycle of water thru the filter for my 15,000 pool. A FlowVis flow meter will help you determine the Gallons Per minute at each set RPM you use - to get one cycle of water thru your filter each day, this video goes over this -

@@SPL can I just swap a motor without the pump like I've done for 30 years? Theirs gotta be a lot of rebuilds by now.....I still have the old bronze impeller/pump but it works fine
Should the interface be covered after mounting to wall
It's waterproof and weatherproof. No need.
would this be good to replace a booster pump and split the line and put a pressure reader on the side going to the filter to keep the correct pressure?
Not sure exactly what you are trying to do - maybe explain it in another way to me. tks
Hey i did the same test u did with your plearco filter just like execpt i just used dirt my question is the pressure was only at 10 and that was full of the sand i put in it i cleaned out the filter and pump and turned it on and of rapidly to test my psi guage do u think i damaged my filter or pump or pool pumbing cause it works normal with normal flow and everythimg just wanted ur opiopn
It should be fine. Usually the PSI rises only when the filter is going bad. The gauge should be okay.
How do you save money with a variable speed puml of you operate at a lower speed your gpm would go low for example if your operate a 1hp pump for 4 hours on a 10000 gallon pool would the cost be the same if u operatr a variable speed pump set to MAX for the SAME 4 hours . Explain it plz if u have to cycle thr water through is it cause the bill is paided by how much draw in electricty the pool pump does in a hour not the how long it runs ?
You only save money on a VS pump by running it on a lower speed. You wouldn't ever need to run it at 3450 RPM which is the same speed as a single speed pump. Most pools can get away with running it at 2400-2800 RPM for a few hours and then a lower speed for the rest of the cycle.
@@SPL - isn't that true that if you run @ 3450 rpm you push more water through and you can reduce the run time? for example if I run the pool at 3000 rpm and push 20,000 gallons through in 6 hours. If I run it at 1500 rpm I will have to run the motor for about 12 hrs to push 20,000 water through?
Do you have a video on closing a pool? I couldn't find one by you. if not cannot you recommend a video for an inground pool?
We don't close pools here often in Southern Ca. - this guy has a good video: ua-cam.com/video/_VV7_MR4HTo/v-deo.html
Bought a VSP. No longer does it sound like a helicopter running on my patio.
Just wondering, why did you decide to buy this pump as to the popular from Pentair. Thanks.
No real reason other then their sales rep wanted me to try their iQPUMP01 - which is only compatible with Jandy VS pumps. I also didn't want the control pad on top of the motor - in my case that would have been hard to program and use - very tight equipment area. the iQPUMP01 is the easiest way to program and control a VS pump. The Pentair Intelliflo is a great choice also - I would say Jandy is now on par with Pentair with their new VSPlusHP 2.0 Hp pump. You can't go wrong with either brand.
Are you recommending Jandy / Pentair. My pool has a Jandy controllers and Pentair pumps. Should I make the change or should I get a comparable Pentair pump?
If you have Jandy Aqualink and are upgrading to a Variable speed pump - if you go with Jandy you will be able to control the pump and all of your other connected features - with the iAquaLink App. If that doesn't interest you and you like the Pentair pump it will be compatible but not with the online App.
Thanks for the info. I think I will be staying with the quality of Pentair. I do love my online app though.
Sure. I can't argue with you - I know people at Jandy, Pentair and Hayward and they are all great people. Go with the brand you feel comfortable with.
Robert Hoffman I'm with you except for them salt cells for them I prefer Hayward Aquarite
Austin, had a horrible experience with Jandy so far with Pentair I'm very pleased. Of course to give Jandy a little credit, that was my first salt system. After researching extensively I went with Pentair.
Youbwould have to run the pump longer to get the water through vs 4 hours
4 hour runtime? That’s where he’s really saving.
