Variable speed vs single speed pump

I switched from a single-speed to a variable speed about two years ago, and the difference on my power bill was pretty noticeable. The trick is being able to run it on a lower RPM for most of the day instead of blasting full speed all the time. It does take a little trial and error to figure out the optimal setting for your pool size and filter, but once you get it right, it runs quieter and more efficiently. Upfront cost is higher, but mine paid itself off in about a year and a half.
 
In my experience, a variable-speed pump does save on power. I run it low most of the day and bump it up briefly when needed. It’s quieter too mine paid off in 1–2 years, depends on your electric rates and pool size
 
If you can swing the upfront cost, I’d go variable speed. I run it low most of the day and bump it up when needed uses less power and runs quieter; usually pays back in 1–2 years depending on rates and pool size.
 
I switched to a variable speed about a year ago, and my electric bill definitely went down. I run it on low RPM most of the day and only bump it up when needed. It uses less power and is way quieter.

Yep, a variable speed pump usually lowers your electric bill because you can run it at a low RPM longer instead of blasting full speed all the time. The upfront cost is higher, but for a lot of people it pays back in about 1 to 2 years, and it’s usually quieter too.
