Good afternoon. I would like to note that with the Energy Star certification, Pentair pumps have been independently tested as energy efficient pumps. Having called their representatives by
pentair pool phone number, I found out that Pentair pumps save electricity up to 80%. You might be able to reach that number, but your actual energy savings with Pentair probably won't be as good in my opinion. By using a permanent magnet motor, the Pentair pump is more energy efficient at any speed.
