Pool Pumps
Last Updated: October 2007
See the federal standards main page to
view current status
Residential pool pumps are used to circulate and filter swimming pool water in order to maintain clarity and sanitation.
In warmer states, pool pumps can be among the largest consumers of electricity in homes with pools, and efficiency standards have great potential for energy savings. California enacted standards for pool pumps in 2004. In addition to California, this standard will be very cost-effective in states like Arizona, Florida, Nevada, and Texas where temperatures are warm enough that pools are used for many months in the year. DOE is not currently required to set standards for these products.
There is no recent ASAP activity regarding pool pumps.
