| Studio City Pool Pump Repair Tips It's time to get informed about the green revolution that has hit in the swimming pool industry. New laws are being passed to promote lower energy consumption. Our industry uses a large proportion of power in Southern California, so measures have been enacted to reduce it. The Title 20 law limits replacement circulation pumps to under 1.0 horsepower. This is done by various means - a .99 total hp design can work well on small applications. Multiplying hp rating x the SF (on the motor info plate) will provide you with your current Total Hp. Manufacturers are now designing pumps to meet this <1.0 standard, so be sure to consider this as your solution. Variable speed pumps cost initially more to install and require special controllers, however local agencies sometimes offer rebates - so be sure to ask. Upgrading to a 2-speed can also be a great solution. Whether you reside in Malibu or Studio City, pool pump repair require specialized knowledge with these new mandates. If compliance is not honored, some manufacturers will void their warranty - so it is prudent to be informed. Fortunately, the electrical savings is a nice advantage: 2-speeds can see up to 30% decrease in energy costs, while the variable speeds can save up to 75%. The degree depends on your intitial setup/usage. For the best analysis of your property, call our office and request an Energy Audit - we look forward to helping!
