The Department of Energy (DOE) Dedicated Purpose Pool Pump (DPPP) regulations began in July 2021.
With more than 8.5 million pools in the U.S., the new DPPP regulations provide considerable savings to pool owners. According to the DOE, by updating a pool pump that complies with the DPPP rules, pool owners have the potential of saving $2,140 in 12-months and improving yearly operating costs by about $550.*
To ensure Pentair pool pumps meet these new standards, Pentair was a joint stakeholder in developing the new mandate, so every pool pump is more energy-efficient, and cost-effective.

Variable Speed and Flow (VSF) pumps give your customers up to 90% energy savings.**
Clean, clear water confidence and longer-lasting pool equipment.
Whisper-quiet operation completes their backyard oasis.
Pentair variable speed pool pumps cater to new pools, pool renovations and pool pump replacements. These pumps allow for easy install and synchronization to your pool automation system.
Choose the right pool pump for your pool so you can be more energy-efficient and receive the cost rewards.
Variable speed pumps are the ideal choice for maximizing energy efficiency without compromising performance. Here are pool pump terms you'll want to know:
HHP is a measure of pump performance. It's the amount of H2O a pump can push to and through a pool.
Measure of energy efficiency, like MPG in an automobile, the higher the WEF, the more efficient the pump
Measure of the total HP created at the motor shaft, not at the wet end. This represents the potential output, not the actual output.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) identifies and promotes energy efficient products, like Pentair Variable Speed and Flow Pool Pumps, and rewards the product that meet the necessary criteria to help homeowners save energy and money in their home.
*82 Fed. Reg. 5652 (January 18, 2017). Results for standard-size self-priming pool filter pumps.
**Savings based on variable speed pump compared to a single-speed pump running 12 hours per day at an average of $0.16 per kWh in a 20,000-gallon pool. Actual savings may vary based on local utility rates, pool size, pump run time, pump horsepower, pump rpm, plumbing size and length, pump model, service factor and other hydraulic factors.
