Energy-Efficiency in Pool Pump Systems

Discover how modern pool pump systems can dramatically reduce electricity usage while keeping your pool crystal clear. From variable-speed pumps to smarter scheduling and system upgrades, this guide breaks down everything you need to know to save on running costs without sacrificing performance or water quality.

According to the Australian Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water, pool pumps can be one of the largest users of electricity in a household, making up around 18% of the electricity bill. That’s nearly a fifth of your power usage tied up in keeping your pool clean.

It’s no wonder that more homeowners are starting to ask: How much energy is my pool using, and what can I do about it?

With rising energy costs and growing concerns about our environmental footprint, understanding how pool systems consume energy has never been more important. Fortunately, a smarter pump choice could lead to real savings, both for your bank account and the planet.

How Pool Pumps Use Energy (And Why It Adds Up)

A pool pump’s job is fairly straightforward—it circulates water through the filtration system, keeping it clean, clear, and safe for swimming. But this seemingly simple process hides a sneaky energy drain.
