Pumps
Dedicated Pool & Spa Service is committed to providing you with the best possible enjoyment of your pool or hot tub. That's why it's critical that your pool pump motor is in perfect operating condition. ​
Your pump motor circulates water around the pool, keeping it clean and helping to properly distribute the necessary chemicals to keep your pool or hot tub clear and sparkling. A pump motor that is not operating correctly can have a negative impact on your enjoyment of your pool or hot tub. ​
If you currently have a single speed pool pump, it is time to consider changing your pool pump to a variable speed pump. As of January 2023, California requires all new pool installations and replacements to use variable speed pumps. While replacing an existing pump might not be mandatory immediately, it's something to consider for future compliance. ​
There are several good reasons why you should consider changing your pool pump to a variable speed pump:
​
Financial Benefits:
​
Significantly lower energy bills:
Variable speed pumps can use up to 80% less energy than single-speed pumps, thanks to their ability to adjust their speed based on Bedarf. This translates to significant savings on your monthly electricity bill.
​
Rebates and incentives:
Many California utility companies offer rebates and incentives for installing variable speed pool pumps, further reducing your upfront costs.
​
Longer lifespan:
Variable speed pumps often have longer lifespans than single-speed pumps due to less wear and tear from operating at lower speeds.
​​
Environmental Benefits:
​
Reduced carbon footprint:
By using less energy, variable speed pumps help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and your individual carbon footprint.
​
Water conservation:
Operating at lower speeds means less water is cycled through the system, potentially leading to reduced water usage.
​​
Operational Benefits:
​
Quieter operation:
Variable speed pumps are significantly quieter than single-speed pumps, making your pool area more peaceful and enjoyable.
​
Improved water quality:
By being able to adjust the flow rate, variable speed pumps can potentially promote better water circulation and filtration, leading to improved water quality.
​
Greater control:
You have more control over your pool's filtration system with a variable speed pump, allowing you to adjust the speed based on different needs, such as swimming, cleaning, or heating.
Switching to a variable speed pool pump offers a compelling combination of financial, environmental, and operational benefits. The upfront cost might be higher, but the long-term savings and positive impact on your pool and the environment make it a worthwhile investment.
​
In other words, Dedicated Pool & Spa Service wants to make sure you have the best possible pool experience, and that means having a well-functioning pool pump motor.
Common problems that occur with pumps and motors might include:
​
Improper Electricity
Swimming pool and hot tub pump motors need the correct amperage to operate properly. If they don't receive the correct amperage, problems can develop. If your pump motor is acting up, call Dedicated Pool & Spa Service. One of our highly qualified technicians will help you analyze the problem and get your pump back in shape.
​
Motor won't start?
Make sure all switches are "on," including circuit breakers. If the motor still doesn't work, there is a more in-depth issue with the pump that requires a highly qualified technician to diagnosis the issue.
​
Debris
Swimming pool and hot tub pumps and motors do not like debris in them! Debris will greatly impact their performance. Debris needs to be carefully and thoroughly removed for a swimming pool or hot tub pump and motor to operate properly.
​
Noisy Motor
When the pump motor on your pool or hot tub is making unusual noises, it might be a sign that the bearings are starting to wear out or the pump seal has gone out.
​
Our extensive network of suppliers allows us to find hard-to-find pump and motor parts that others can't. We're committed to getting your pool or hot tub pump motor back up and running as quickly as possible!
