Since 2007, Pentair’s pool pumps have helped U.S. consumers save
$1.9 billion in operating costs, which translates into 18 billion
kilowatt hours of energy saved.* The kilowatt energy savings helped
prevent the release of 14.0 million tons of carbon dioxide, which
is the equivalent of 31.1 billion car-driven miles.**
“Pentair’s introduction of variable speed pump technology to the
pool industry more than a decade ago illustrates our ongoing
commitment to deliver smart, sustainable water solutions to our
customers,” said Jerome Pedretti, Senior Vice President, Pentair
Aquatic Systems. “We are proud to be recognized as an ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year, and to be the only manufacturer in our
industry to achieve the Sustained Excellence designation.”
In addition to its ENERGY STAR-rated pool pumps, Pentair offers
smart, sustainable solutions to help pool owners conserve energy
and water resources including automated controls, heaters and
lighting products. Homeowners can learn more about Pentair’s
energy-efficient offerings, its rebate program for select ENERGY
STAR certified models, and also find helpful ENERGY STAR resources
at Pentair.com/energystar.
“For the approximately five million homes in the U.S. with an
in-ground swimming pool, the traditional single speed pool pump is
one of the top three energy-using appliances in the home,”
continued Pedretti. “Pentair’s variable speed pool pumps help
conserve energy resources and reduce energy costs, providing pool
owners with peace of mind so that they can enjoy their pools with
friends and family.”
The highest honor among ENERGY STAR Awards is the ENERGY STAR
Partner of the Year—Sustained Excellence Award. EPA presents the
Sustained Excellence Award to partners that have already received
ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year recognition for a minimum of two
consecutive years and have gone above and beyond the criteria
needed to qualify for recognition. Winners hail from small,
family-owned businesses to Fortune 500 organizations – representing
energy-efficient products, services, new homes, and buildings in
the commercial, industrial, and public sectors.
To qualify for the voluntary ENERGY STAR certification, pool
pumps must be at least 30-72 percent more energy efficient than
typical pumps. Starting July 2021, pool equipment makers will be
required to meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s new energy
conservation standards for dedicated-purpose pool pumps. Pentair’s
ENERGY STAR-certified variable speed pumps currently meet this
standard.

*Savings are based on a weighted average annual kWh savings from
the Consortium for Energy Efficiency (CEE) at $0.11 / kWh.
Individual Weighted Energy Factor (WEF) scores and savings may vary
by model. For more information regarding the energy efficiency
