Variable Speed Pool Pumps for Energy Efficiency & Performance
Upgrade your pool system with variable speed pool pumps designed to reduce energy costs, improve circulation, and deliver quieter operation. At Benchmark Pool Supply, we carry trusted brands known for performance, durability, and long-term savings.
Unlike single-speed pumps that run at full power all day, variable speed models allow you to adjust motor speeds based on your pool’s needs. The result is lower electricity usage, better filtration, and extended equipment life.

Why Upgrade to a Variable Speed Pump?
Variable speed pool pumps use advanced motor technology to operate at lower RPMs for everyday filtration and higher speeds only when needed for cleaning, heating, or water features. Running at lower speeds dramatically reduces energy usage — often cutting operating costs by up to 80% compared to traditional single-speed pumps.
Lower speeds also improve filtration efficiency by allowing water to pass more slowly through the filter, resulting in clearer water and better chemical distribution.
Many states and municipalities now require variable speed pumps for new installations and replacements, making them the smart long-term investment for homeowners.
This collection includes high-performance variable speed pumps from leading manufacturers such as Pentair and Hayward. Options range from compact models for residential pools to high-output systems designed for larger pools and advanced setups with heaters, spas, and water features.
Whether you're replacing an older pump or building a new pool system, you'll find energy-efficient solutions designed for reliability and long-term performance.
