California mandates VS pumps.
We handle the upgrade.

Variable-speed pump installation that meets California Title 20 efficiency requirements and cuts your energy bill by up to 80%. Full swap, programming, and optimization.

What's included in a pump upgrade

California's Title 20 regulation requires variable-speed pumps for most replacement and new installations. If your single-speed pump fails, you can't legally replace it with another single-speed. The good news: variable-speed pumps pay for themselves in energy savings within 1-2 years.

We don't just swap the motor. A proper VS pump installation includes right-sizing the pump, programming speed schedules for filtration, cleaning, and heating, verifying plumbing compatibility, and confirming the electrical meets code.

Why variable-speed pumps save serious money

A single-speed pump runs at full blast whenever it's on. That's like driving a car at 100 mph everywhere — the grocery store, school zone, freeway. Variable-speed pumps adjust their speed to match the task.

Filtration doesn't need full flow. Running your pump at 50% speed uses only 12.5% of the energy (it's a cubic relationship). For a pool that runs 8-12 hours daily, the savings are massive — typically $50-100/month on your electric bill.

In Ventura County where pools run year-round, a VS pump typically pays for itself in 12-18 months. After that, it's pure savings for the 10+ year life of the pump.
