THE VFD!

This Variable Frequency Diode will save you power simply by encouraging your pump to run more efficiently.

This new, patented technology, works by reducing the frequency of your pump, slowing the RPM whilst increasing the electrical power factor, resulting in the pump running more efficiently.

IS YOUR POOL COSTING YOU TOO MUCH?

Huge power savings – 75% on running cost alone, plus additional savings on wearing and ongoing maintenance on pumps.

 
 

 

PUMP TOO NOISY/ NEIGHBOURS COMPLAINING?

When your pump is running at maximum efficiency, this will reduce the work rate in turn reducing the heat and RPM, instantly minimizing the overall Db rating (noise) of the pump. Have the freedom to run your pump when you want, for as long as you want.

DO YOUR PART FOR THE ENVIROMENT. (Whilst saving money)

The average pool pump uses up to 4 tonnes of green house gas emissions per year, we are capable of reducing this by 75%. If half of the domestic pools in Australia used this system the reduction of carbon emissions would be at the very least 2 Million tones per year.

 
 

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

Simply plug in and walk away, this device is compatible for over 90% of existing Pool, Spa and water feature pumps already in use. No plumbing or hardwiring required.

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

Simple installation and a risk free trial means this product is available to anyone who has a pump and wants to save money. Catering for Commercial Industrial and Domestic situations, no matter what size pump you have, we have a VFD device to cater for you needs.
We suggest this device be considered and assessed by power consumers, supply authorities and Governments.

HOW IT WORKS?

We are able to make these savings by improving the efficiency of your pump, whilst still meeting the minimum flow rate requirements necessary for your pump to be working effectively. Pumps are unnecessarily “over worked” due to the one pump fits all attitude, pumps usually well exceed the required flow rate requirements. Flow rates on all pumps can differ due to many factors such as pressure, plumbing, fittings, filtering and distance.
Whilst the flow efficiency of the VFD can be varied, we have selected 3 pre determined  reduction rates which are proven to give the most effective results and at the same time maximizing the savings on your energy bill.


Estimated rates:

  • High 28 %
  • Medium 18 %
  • Low 12 %

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?

Try for one month and see for yourself…. We are confident in this VFD device so we are prepared to offer a 1 month trial. Simply record the KWH use age on your home meter and if you do not see the obvious saving we will be happy to refund the purchase price.*

ONCE INSTALLED:

3 Power saving levels can be selected by using the control switch. These levels have been set to match the maximum pump flow rate to energy saving, after the pump has primed.
These rates have proven to be the most beneficial for filtering and pool cleaning. The highest saving level is suitable for most swimming pool equipment. Flow rates can also be adjusted simply for special purposes I.E; matching flow rates to heat exchange units and water features.
There is also the “by pass” position running the pump on normal power supply. This is only required if the pump is needed to run at maximum pressure i.e. Backwashing or rinsing a sand filter.
