Variable Frequency Drives for Pool Pumps

Preguntas frecuentes sobre Frequency inverters

What does a variable frequency drive do?

It regulates the pump motor speed instead of making it run at full power all the time. This means the pump runs at the speed it needs at any given moment.

For daily pool filtration, the pump does not need to run at full power: lowering the speed significantly reduces energy consumption, makes the pump quieter and helps the filter work better.

Can I install it on my existing pump?

In most cases, yes. External variable frequency drives are installed between the electrical panel and a fixed-speed pump. The important thing is that the pump’s current does not exceed the drive’s rating and that the output voltage matches the motor’s voltage.

Some models supply a three-phase motor with 230 V single-phase power, which is useful if the installation does not have a three-phase power supply.

Can they also be used for pressure systems?

Yes. Variable frequency drives such as the SACI E-Motion work with a pressure transducer and adjust the pump speed to maintain constant pressure in homes, irrigation systems or shared facilities.

Can you help me choose the right variable frequency drive?

Yes. Tell us the pump’s make and model, its power rating and the available voltage, and we’ll recommend the exact drive.
