-
What is the size of your pool filter?
-
What size plumbing does your pool have?
-
What is your pool’s flow rate?
-
Do you have any special water features?
-
How often will you use your pool?

Do you live in an area where electricity is expensive?
THREE TYPES OF POOL PUMPS
Single & Two-Speed Pool Pumps
Single-speed pumps run at one consistent speed while two-speed pumps can be set to full or half-speed for more cost-effective operation. If you’ll only use your pool a few months, a single or two speed pump may be the perfect pump for your pool.
Variable Speed Pool Pumps
If you use your pool year-round, if electricity is expensive where you live, or if you have a large pool, attached spa or decorative water features—a variable-speed pump may be your best bet for cost-saving operation.
Specialty Pool Pumps
Transform your backyard into an oasis with pumps that power water features and waterfalls.
ENERGY SAVING POOL PUMPS
Pumps can be one of the most expensive appliances to run in your house, that's why it's important to select the right pump for your usage.
Depending on your pool and your pool usage, an ENERGY STAR certified pool pump can keep the green in your pocket and out of your pool.
Pump Automation
With the iQPUMP01, manage more than just the pump
Adding automation to a new or existing pool pad has never been so simple or so cost-effective. Until now.
App-Based Control
The iQPUMP01 allows for app-based control of 2.2 and 2.7 HP Jandy variable-speed pumps — plus one additional device.
Power-Up the Pump — Plus One
An auxiliary power relay built into the pool pump enables automation of your booster pump or a salt chlorinator like the Jandy® TruClear™. Meaning, you can simply power-up the pump and power-on the additional equipment — all from the palm of your hand.
Convenience
Now there's no need to worry about keeping your pool clean and clear — the ability to automate and schedule a pool cleaner or regulate chlorination levels is readily available — anytime, anywhere from your smart phone using the iAquaLink app.
Smart Servicing
And since the iQPUMP01 can be connected to the web through its built-in WiFi antenna —installers and service techs can remotely program and monitor the pool pad, reducing on-site service visits and increasing energy efficiency for pool owners.
