Eco-Friendly Equipment or Pools and Spas

As the global leader in pool and spa equipment, Pentair Water Pool and Spa® ismaking a strong commitment to develop the most environmentally responsible

products available. The new Eco SelectTM brand is the keystone o this green

program to meet the dual objectives o a growing number o pool owners—to

save money and make more eco-riendly choices.

It star ts with product development. We have dedicated senior sta whose

sole mission is to assure that new and re-engineered products are the most

eco-riendly and economically attractive on the market.

You’ll see the Eco Select brand associated with several exist ing products and

systems that already meet these objectives. These products save energy, conserve

water, reduce noise, or otherwise contribute to a more environmentally respon-

sible pool equipment system. In every case, a product that earns the Eco Select

brand is clearly our “greenest” and most e icient choice. The rest o this booklet

will introduce you to the products that have earned the Eco Select brand.

We hope you’ll join us in embracing more eco-riendly poolscapes by choosing

Eco Select products or your swimming pool. I you have any questions, please

contact your pool builder or local Pentair pool and spa equipment dealer.

Variable Speed Pumps

IntelliFlo ® VF

Variable Drive Pump

Standard pool pumps can consumeas much energy as all other home

appliances combined—oten costing

more than $1,000 per year! IntelliFlo®

pumps can typically cut energy use by

30% to 90%, generally saving $621 to

$1,356 in utility costs annually—more

where rates are higher than average.*

*Savings based on comparison pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at the national average o 15¢/kilowatt hour in a 20,000 gallon pool.

Revolutionary pool pump typically slashes energy

costs 30% to 90%.

•IntelliFloemploysexclusivepermanentmagnetmotors(usedin

hybrid cars) that provide a typical “base savings” o 30% over any

pump with a traditional induction motor.

•IntelliFloincludesavariabledrive,digitalcontrols,and

proprietary sotware that allow custom programming o the

optimum speed per unction— iltering, heating, cleaning, operating

water eatures—or even greater savings...up to 90%. For most

all applications, the optimum speed is signi icantly lower than

possible with traditional pump technology, so you can exploit a

undamental pump law: by going slower, power consumption is

reduced. In act, when pump speeds are reduced by hal, energy

use is just one-eighth o what was previously used.

The quietest running pump on the planet

•Thanksagaintoitspermanentmagnetmotorandtotally

enclosed an cooled (TEFC) design, IntelliFlo is also the quietest

pump ever built. At typical speeds you barely notice it.

Longer, trouble-ree service lie—greater returnon investment

•IntelliFlopump’spermanentmagnetmotorproducesfarlessheat

and vibration than traditional induction motors. This results in less

stress and wear on pump components and other equipment, too.

•Built-indiagnosticsprotectIntelliFlofromthemostcommon

causes o premature pump ailure—overheating, reezing, and

voltage irregularities.

A note about utility rates

Posted rates and eective rates are not the same thing. Your base posted electricity rate

may be 10¢ per kilowatt hour (kWh) or less. So why are we starting our calculations at

15¢ per kWh? We’ve taken into account the many additional actors that make your

eective rate higher:

1. The stated rate is only or electricity used. It does not include user ees and taxes that

vary by state and provider.

2. In some states, rates increase substantially as a consumer uses additional electricity

beyond a set baseline.

3. Many providers assess a surcharge per kWh during the summer, because demand or electricity is higher.

Energy Savings

Here are realistic estimates when comparing IntelliFlo® pumps to a

traditional pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at various

utility rates (in dollars per kilowatt hour [kWh]) in a 20,000 gallon pool.

•At$0.15/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$621to$1,356peryear.

•At$0.20/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$827to$1,808peryear.

•At$0.30/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$1,241to$2,712peryear.

As you’ve seen, there is a compelling “green case” or our products

under the Eco SelectTM brand. Every one o these products can lay

claim to saving energy, water, reducing noise, maintaining air quality,

or delivering combinations o these environmental benefts.

Perhaps most compelling o all is when you link these “best in

breed” choices into a single green system. Not only do you deliver

individual products that are more environmentally responsible

than other choices, there can be synergistic eects as well.

Examples include:

•Optimizepumpspeedforyourfilterchoiceandyou’ll

automatically improve the eectiveness o the ilter media.

It will trap more dirt by allowing better utilization o the media’s

surace area, postpone pressure increases, and extend the time

between cleanings. You minimize energy use on the ront end,

minimize wash water use on the back end, and get cleaner water

all along the way.

•Optimizeowtotheheater

and it heats water more quickly and

e iciently so run times may be reduced

and energy saved.

•Runthef ilterpumplongeratlowerspeed/owforenergy

To support your eor ts to make your pool and spa as economical

and eco-riendly as possible, below are some changes you can

make that can help conserve energy and water while reducing

your operating costs.

Heating & Heat Loss

•Reduceheatlossbyusingapoolcover.AccordingtotheU.S.

DepartmentofEnergy,savingsof50%–70%arepossible.

•Fencing,hedges,landscaping,andcabanasthatshelteryourpool

rom prevailing winds will urther reduce heat loss.

•Ifyouuseyourpoolonlyonweekends,reduceyourheateror

heat pump thermostats set tings by eight to ten degrees during

the week.

•Whenleavingforvacationformorethanaweek,unlessfreezing

conditions are expected, turn o the pool heater or heat pump.

•AccordingtotheNationalSwimmingPoolInstituteandthe

American Red Cross, the most healthul swimming temperature

is78°F.Reducingyourheaterorheatpumpthermostat

tomaintaina78°Forlowertemperaturewillalsohelp

conserve energy.

Circulation

•Replaceyourpoolpumpwithamoreenergy-efficientmodel.

– New variable speed pumps with permanent magnet motors

and digital controls can save as much as 90% in utility costscompared to one- or two-speed pumps with induction motors.

– I using an energy-e icient one- or two-speed pump, make

sure your pump is sized to your pool’s requirements.

•Reducepumpspeedtoreduceenergyuse.Rememberthepump

law: reduce speed by hal and energy is just one-eighth o what

was previously used.

•Forgoodwatermaintenance,circulatewaterthroughfilteronly

once per day. Additional cycles are generally unnecessary and

waste energy.

•Runyourpool’sfiltrationsystemduringoff-peakhourswhen

•Keepintakegratesclearofdebris.Cloggeddrainsrequirethe
