Conventional pool pumps are limited to one set speed. A pool pump is usually sized to cater for the pool’s maximum water

flow requirements, which may either be the sand filter’s backwash water flow or to provide suffificient water flow to operate a suction cleaner.

3 Speed Options

Hydrostorm ECO pump 3 speed options cater for most pool functions.

• High speed – Vacuuming and backwash – 1% of the time

• Medium speed – Automatic pool cleaners

• Low speed – Filtration – 99% of the time

Benefits of Slow Flow

Lowering a pumps flow rate not only significantly decreases the pump’s energy requirements, but also reduces water flow resistance in your pool equipment and plumbing. Even though you may need to operate the Hydrostorm ECO longer, it is far more efficient pumping low water flow compared to high water flow.

A slow flow rate also has the added benefit of improving your pool’s filtration efficiency, enhancing the clarity of your swimming pool water. Plus your automatic chemical dosers and salt chlorinators are also more effective when the pool water is circulated longer.
