Overview

Introducing the worlds first ultra-efficiency pool pump with electron condensor technology. Breakthrough condensor technology stores electrons in a dielectric until the power is called upon. Best in class 3-Year warranty. Additional two-year warranty available for only $99. Then when the motor rotates into the optimal position, the stored energy is released, boosting the energy transferred to the impeller. The result is a significant energy reduction, up to 80% over traditional pool pumps.

EP-4 is recommended for pools 12,000 to 20,000 gallons.

Beats the ROI on Variable Rate Pool Pumps. Until now...pool owners have had to choose between affordability and energy efficiency. Regular single speed and two speed pumps are inexpensive, but they are power hogs, using 2,000 watts of power or more. Variable speed pumps with complicated electronic circuits are efficient but reliablity is low and costs are high. Those complicated electronic circuits are known to fail prematurely and repairs can be as much as a new pump. EcoPump is ultra-efficient, yet simple - no expensive digital controller is required. However, it's still compatible with most controllers if you already have one.

All Pool Pumps Should Run 24 Hours Per Day for Best Water Quality. Now you can run your pump twice as long, for half the cost. In the past, many pool owners ran their pumps just 4-8 hours per day to reduce their electric bill. That is great for utility bills, but 16-20 hours of stagnant water is not good for water quality. Stagnant water is a breeding ground for bacteria and algae.

It is important to note that commercial pools are required to filter their pools for 24 hours in most states. 24 hour filtration is directly related to higher water quality and reduced chemical demand. Plus equipment such as pool controllers, pool automation, and ultraviolet disinfection systems can all keep working around the clock.

Great customer service and it arrived on time. We love this pump. We have a pool/spa with a fountain and the pump was able to handle it.

purchased ecopump over the summer and enjoyed it during the season. Quick install, digital timer easy to set. we're thinking about purchasing an ecofilter next season.

After purchasing one of your EP-8 pumps, I have noticed dramatically less power usage. Old pump ran for 8 hours a day. New pump ran 24 hours on slow speed. Only using high speed for cleaning. I ran high speed to check out the filter and found that it worked better on the lower Eco speed. Old pump is 1.5 hp and uses 7.6 amps single speed. New pump uses less than 2 amps. New pump runs smoother and quieter than the old one. Filter is Pac Fab 500 lb. sand using Zeo filter media and filters better on the slow speed. No water problems. I am very happy with pump. Would recommend this pump. Thank you for your help!
