What Is Energy Star?
ENERGY STAR is the government-backed symbol for energy efficiency, providing simple, credible, and unbiased information that consumers and businesses rely on to make well-informed decisions. Thousands of local and nationwide organizations rely on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Partnership for energy-efficient and cost-saving solutions.
Since 1992, ENERGY STAR and its partners have helped American families and businesses avoid more than $500 billion in energy costs and achieve more than 4 billion metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions.1
PENTAIR POOL PUMPS, ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
According to the EPA, a pool pump is a home’s second-largest energy user. With an estimated 8.5 million residential pools and 200,000 new ones built annually, there is a significant opportunity for energy savings 2
In 2023, Pentair helped U.S. consumers save approximately 782 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of energy from our energy-efficient pool pumps, resulting in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions reductions of 554,485 tons of CO2, saving $118 million in operating costs. Since 2005, Pentair's ENERGY STAR pool pumps have been responsible for a cumulative 45 billion kWh of energy savings, the reduction of 19.5 million tons of CO2 emissions, and $6.8 billion in operative cost savings for U.S. consumers.
Why choose A Pentair ENERGY STAR certified pool pump?
Pentair has a pool pump for any pool! With multiple ENERGY STAR approved models, Pentair has pool pump options to help with energy savings, product longevity and cleaner, clearer water. Discover two types of pool pumps that provide optimal performance and continue to deliver long-term energy efficiencies and savings.
- Variable Speed (VS) Pool Pumps - designed with Pentair variable speed technology, VS pool pumps can help pool owners save up to 90% in energy costs compared to a conventional single – or –two-speed pool pump. 3
- Variable Speed and Flow (VSF) pool pumps have the same benefits as a VS pool pump but have added patented technology called sensorless flow control, which automatically adjusts speeds to maintain flow.
