The California Energy Commission’s Title 20 Efficiency Regulations require new or replacement filtration pumps for residential pools to meet certain energy efficiency standards. Specifically, pump motors used to filter pool water that were made on or after January 1, 2006, must operate at two or more speeds and such pumps may not be split-phase or capacitor start. The most common replacements are variable speed pumps due to their impressive energy savings.
Why?
California has over 1.5 million private residential, in-ground swimming pools.
When?
On January 1, 2008 all pool filtration pumps in California with a “Toal Horsepower” of 1.0 (HP x Service Factor) or larger must be a two-speed or variable speed pump.
