Beginning July 1, 2011 the Florida State Energy Efficiency Code for Building Construction will change the regulations required for pool pumps. Standard pool pumps are built with only one speed and use a lot of energy to operate. The new regulations will require that all pool pumps have at least 2 speeds, the lesser of which uses no more than 50% of the power used by the higher speed. These variable speed pool pumps are expensive to install, around $800 to $1,500, but can save pool owners between 40% and 75% on energy bills.
