Pool Pump Rebate
This rebate is to encourage the installation of energy efficient motors and control devices on residential and commercial swimming pools.
The installation of high efficiency motors can save 15-30% on a pool pump’s electric demand when compared to standard motor installation. Pool filtration pump rebates are available with high efficiency motors and multiple speed settings. Multiple speed, variable speed and variable flow pumps allow a pool’s filtration system to operate at lower speeds. Systems with integrated speed control and built in time clocks that allow the system to run at pre-set low flow or low speed settings also offer substantial energy savings. Multiple speed pumps can save up to 30% versus single speed pumps, while variable speed and variable flow pumps can save as much as 90%.
