3 Ways to Maximize the Benefits of a Variable Speed Pump
Variable speed pumps set a new industry standard for efficiency, and many customers already know the energy-saving potential of these products. They don't know how to calculate the savings and get the most out of the pump they buy.
To maximize energy savings per pump, you need to consider other variables. Experts recommend starting with an energy audit, especially when replacing the old pump with variable speed models.
When installing and optimizing variable speed pumps, professionals not only become more proficient in using tools like electricity meters and meters to measure performance, but they also have information gathered through algorithms in online calculators. Once you've identified the right variable speed pump for your client, try these three equipment modifications to help the pump produce the best results.
Programming correctly
The key to getting the most out of your pump is programming it properly. In addition to following the manufacturer's letter instructions, you also need to consider the unique circumstances of your customers. Ask customers which utility provider they use, then check the energy provider's website for
Whether the pump is newly installed or existing, it's worth making sure it's programmed to meet your pool's needs.
Pipe size
Hydraulic details are an important factor in getting the most out of a variable speed pump.
For example, if you use the old small radius in PVC pipe it will get worse, but if you use the new large radius it will get better.
To understand the efficiency of a hydraulic system, it is recommended to consult a flow meter and RMS power meter, then use the following formula: gallons pumped in 1 hour divided by watts used. You can take this measurement before and after replacing equipment to see the difference in energy usage.
Homeowners with pools under 40,000 gallons should have at least 2 inches of piping to take full advantage of the variable speed pump.
Better flow
Hydraulic details are an important factor in getting the most out of a variable speed pump.
Better flow upgrade nozzles and filters can reduce the burden on a variable speed pump, increasing its efficiency.
New high-tech jets on the market, such as V-joints and eyeball jets, help accelerate the flow of water. This in turn makes the variable speed pump more efficient.
FPSIE also recommends large cartridge filters, saying they increase efficiency by eliminating the need for backwashing.
