Hi Guys, here in AZ a law has passed that requires all new Pool Pumps to be Dual Stage for energy savings.
I foresee this as a problem for the unwary HI when the client finds out not only does the old single stage Pool Pump need to be replaced, but the Electrical system needs to be upgraded (control panel) at the pool motor to run the required new pumps.
Do any of you Cali Guys have some verbiage for these Pumps as I know they have been required there for a while?
Or will my old “The pump is broken get it fixed”, Narrative still work?
So a Pool Pump replacement on an existing Pool requires a total rewire???
Which politician was the electrical contractor on this one?
Pool Owners here just pay the additioanl prevailing rate of electricity based on Consumption…
(Comes with having a Pool)
Politicians here have not figured out how to make Pool Owners pay more to save a little…
Give them time ,
hayward & pentair have the control module piggyback the pump
can be removed and wall mounted on the units i’ve seen
basically plug and play from what i could see on site
Thanks Barry, I am good on the hardware bud, looking for a starting point for a narrative to cover my butt.
This is where I am so far.
“Current Arizona Law requires any new Pool Motors installed to be Dual Stage types of motors. Installing a Dual Stage Motor may involve additional components such as a Motor Control Panel which will add costs.”
After the first of the year Joe, all pool pumps over 1HP, when then fail, need to be replaced with Two Stage pumps.
Everything I have seen looks like the Electrical savings will be good.
Cost is around 1K, which is more than fixing the old one. I can see some un happy Clients a year in when their Pool Pump breaks, trying to be proactive
