Commercial Pool Pump Savings Calculator
This tool calculates the savings a commercial pool operator will realize when switching from a standard pool pump to the IntelliFlo® variable speed pump.
  1. Select English or metric units.
  2. Fill in all of the fields under Pool Information.
  3. Review the results in Intermediate Results. They automatically update every time you make a change to the Pool Information section.
  4. Energy and cost savings are displayed in the Summary of Savings section.

*This calculator is based on standardized performance data as supplied to the California Energy Commission per the Title 20 Appliance Efficiency Regulations. The pump’s actual performance and subsequent energy consumption is dependent upon various characteristics of the plumbing system, including but not limited to; pipe size, pipe lengths, filter type, fittings, and auxiliary equipment, etc. The data (as published in the CEC database) is limited to pump performance as set forth in Curve A or Curve C below:

  • Curve A = ~High head – Pump performance is based on the system head loss curve representing 227 LPM at 18.3 meters of H2O column which is typical of a newly constructed pool plumbed with 50mm PVC pipe.
  • Curve C = ~Medium head – Pump performance is based on the system head loss curve representing 326 LPM at 18.3 meters of H2O column which is typical of a newly constructed pool plumbed with 65mm PVC pipe.

The input variables in this calculator; Filter type, Pipe size (suction and return), are offered as an aid to help determine whether the pool has head loss characteristics closer to that of a Curve A or Curve C system. These inputs may not represent actual performance based on these specific variables.
