Eco-Friendly Equipment or Pools and Spas
As the global leader in pool and spa equipment, Pentair Water Pool and Spa® ismaking a strong commitment to develop the most environmentally responsible
products available. The new Eco SelectTM brand is the keystone o this green
program to meet the dual objectives o a growing number o pool owners—to
save money and make more eco-riendly choices.
It star ts with product development. We have dedicated senior sta whose
sole mission is to assure that new and re-engineered products are the most
eco-riendly and economically attractive on the market.
You’ll see the Eco Select brand associated with several exist ing products and
systems that already meet these objectives. These products save energy, conserve
water, reduce noise, or otherwise contribute to a more environmentally respon-
sible pool equipment system. In every case, a product that earns the Eco Select
brand is clearly our “greenest” and most e icient choice. The rest o this booklet
will introduce you to the products that have earned the Eco Select brand.
We hope you’ll join us in embracing more eco-riendly poolscapes by choosing
Eco Select products or your swimming pool. I you have any questions, please
contact your pool builder or local Pentair pool and spa equipment dealer.

Variable Speed Pumps
IntelliFlo ® VF
Variable Drive Pump
Standard pool pumps can consumeas much energy as all other home
appliances combined—oten costing
more than $1,000 per year! IntelliFlo®
pumps can typically cut energy use by
30% to 90%, generally saving $621 to
$1,356 in utility costs annually—more
where rates are higher than average.*
*Savings based on comparison pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at the national average o 15¢/kilowatt hour in a 20,000 gallon pool.
Revolutionary pool pump typically slashes energy
costs 30% to 90%.
•IntelliFloemploysexclusivepermanentmagnetmotors(usedin
hybrid cars) that provide a typical “base savings” o 30% over any
pump with a traditional induction motor.
•IntelliFloincludesavariabledrive,digitalcontrols,and
proprietary sotware that allow custom programming o the
optimum speed per unction— iltering, heating, cleaning, operating
water eatures—or even greater savings...up to 90%. For most
all applications, the optimum speed is signi icantly lower than
possible with traditional pump technology, so you can exploit a
undamental pump law: by going slower, power consumption is
reduced. In act, when pump speeds are reduced by hal, energy
use is just one-eighth o what was previously used.
The quietest running pump on the planet
•Thanksagaintoitspermanentmagnetmotorandtotally
enclosed an cooled (TEFC) design, IntelliFlo is also the quietest
pump ever built. At typical speeds you barely notice it.
Longer, trouble-ree service lie—greater returnon investment
•IntelliFlopump’spermanentmagnetmotorproducesfarlessheat
and vibration than traditional induction motors. This results in less
stress and wear on pump components and other equipment, too.
•Built-indiagnosticsprotectIntelliFlofromthemostcommon
causes o premature pump ailure—overheating, reezing, and
voltage irregularities.

A note about utility rates
Posted rates and eective rates are not the same thing. Your base posted electricity rate
may be 10¢ per kilowatt hour (kWh) or less. So why are we starting our calculations at
15¢ per kWh? We’ve taken into account the many additional actors that make your
eective rate higher:
1. The stated rate is only or electricity used. It does not include user ees and taxes that
vary by state and provider.
2. In some states, rates increase substantially as a consumer uses additional electricity
beyond a set baseline.
3. Many providers assess a surcharge per kWh during the summer, because demand or electricity is higher.
Energy Savings
Here are realistic estimates when comparing IntelliFlo® pumps to a
traditional pump running between 6 and 12 hours per day at various
utility rates (in dollars per kilowatt hour [kWh]) in a 20,000 gallon pool.
•At$0.15/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$621to$1,356peryear.
•At$0.20/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$827to$1,808peryear.
•At$0.30/kWhestimatedsavingsrangefrom$1,241to$2,712peryear.

As you’ve seen, there is a compelling “green case” or our products
under the Eco SelectTM brand. Every one o these products can lay
claim to saving energy, water, reducing noise, maintaining air quality,
or delivering combinations o these environmental benefts.
Perhaps most compelling o all is when you link these “best in
breed” choices into a single green system. Not only do you deliver
individual products that are more environmentally responsible
than other choices, there can be synergistic eects as well.
Examples include:
•Optimizepumpspeedforyourfilterchoiceandyou’ll
automatically improve the eectiveness o the ilter media.
It will trap more dirt by allowing better utilization o the media’s
surace area, postpone pressure increases, and extend the time
between cleanings. You minimize energy use on the ront end,
minimize wash water use on the back end, and get cleaner water
all along the way.
•Optimizeowtotheheater

To support your eor ts to make your pool and spa as economical
and eco-riendly as possible, below are some changes you can
make that can help conserve energy and water while reducing
your operating costs.
Heating & Heat Loss
•Reduceheatlossbyusingapoolcover.AccordingtotheU.S.
DepartmentofEnergy,savingsof50%–70%arepossible.
•Fencing,hedges,landscaping,andcabanasthatshelteryourpool
rom prevailing winds will urther reduce heat loss.
•Ifyouuseyourpoolonlyonweekends,reduceyourheateror
heat pump thermostats set tings by eight to ten degrees during
the week.
•Whenleavingforvacationformorethanaweek,unlessfreezing
conditions are expected, turn o the pool heater or heat pump.
•AccordingtotheNationalSwimmingPoolInstituteandthe
American Red Cross, the most healthul swimming temperature
is78°F.Reducingyourheaterorheatpumpthermostat
tomaintaina78°Forlowertemperaturewillalsohelp
conserve energy.
Circulation
•Replaceyourpoolpumpwithamoreenergy-efficientmodel.
– New variable speed pumps with permanent magnet motors
and digital controls can save as much as 90% in utility costscompared to one- or two-speed pumps with induction motors.
– I using an energy-e icient one- or two-speed pump, make
sure your pump is sized to your pool’s requirements.
•Reducepumpspeedtoreduceenergyuse.Rememberthepump
law: reduce speed by hal and energy is just one-eighth o what
was previously used.
•Forgoodwatermaintenance,circulatewaterthroughfilteronly
once per day. Additional cycles are generally unnecessary and
waste energy.
•Runyourpool’sfiltrationsystemduringoff-peakhourswhen
