How does a variable speed pump benefit your pool?

Posted by John Smith on November 20th, 2019

The world of swimming pools is transforming efficiency and sustainability. It is increasingly common to find pool equipment that facilitates and simplifies its maintenance while reducing the expenses and consumptions that they entail. Find out below how a variable speed Hayward pool pump benefits your pool.

What is a variable speed pump or frequency variator pump?

Due to their effectiveness against their predecessors, variable speed Hayward super pump has excelled in recent years. These allow the adaptability of its operation and the consumption of filtration depending on what is needed at all times. 

With the frequency inverter, you can control the flow of water as the speed of rotation of the pump increases or decreases.
What you achieve with this type of variable speed pumps is that the pump itself automatically regulates the power with which it must operate at every moment of its use.

What should you consider before choosing a variable speed pump for pool filters?

If you already have a non-variable filtration pump, you don't need to buy a new one. Unless the one you have is giving problems, you just have to adapt a frequency converter to it and you will get the same results. 

Before the frequency inverters used were based on other applications and adapted to the pools, so it was very difficult to use. Today they are already manufactured specifically for use in swimming pools, so they are much easier to use.

If there is a problem in the system, in a pump with a built-in frequency inverter you will not be able to use the filtration system until the problem is repaired. That is the subtlest difference it has in front of a pump to which you adapt the drive. 

On the other hand, if the inverter is adapted, the factory or standard speed filtration pump can be used, that is as if the frequency inverter was not connected and only the pump was in operation.
