Modernize your pool equipment for lower energy bills, longer equipment life, and better swim experience. Variable-speed pumps, smart automation, energy-efficient heaters.
If your pump is single-speed (built before 2015 or so), you’re paying 4-6× more in electricity than you need to. Variable-speed pumps (Pentair IntelliFlo, Hayward TriStar VS) typically pay for themselves in 1-3 years on energy savings alone. Required by Utah energy code on new pools.
Cartridge Filters
Modern cartridge filters use less water than DE or sand backwashing — important in Utah’s drought conditions. Easier to clean.
Heaters
Gas heaters: Fast heat, higher operating cost. Best for occasional heating.
Heat pumps: Electric, lower operating cost, slower heat. Best for daily season-extension.
Solar: Long payback, no operating cost, requires roof space.
Salt Sanitization Systems
Convert from chlorine to salt for softer water and easier maintenance. Salt cells: $1,500-$3,000 + install.
Automation Systems
Pentair IntelliCenter, Hayward OmniLogic, Jandy iAquaLink — control pool from your phone, schedule pump runs, adjust temperature, manage lighting. $1,800-$5,000 install.
LED Pool Lighting
Color-changing LED replaces aging incandescent. Lower energy, better ambiance. $400-$1,500 per light installed.
Why Modernize Your Equipment
Energy savings: Variable-speed pumps alone save $400-$800/year in Utah
Longer pool season: Better heaters extend usable months
