Pool Pump Rebates for Southern Nevada

NV Energy Pool Pump Rebate Program Now Open

If you're one of the many pool owners in Southern Nevada, you know it's important to keep your pool clean, clear and healthy. But did you know that your pool may be the first or second largest consumers of electricity in your house? To help you save energy, NV Energy is now offering rebates of $200 on qualifying variable-speed pool pumps.

NV Energy provides $200 rebates on energy-efficient variable-speed residential pool pumps. Replacing a single-speed pump with an energy-efficient variable-speed pump can:

  • save from 70-80% on energy costs
  • prolong the pump's life; variable speed pumps run cooler and quieter
  • allow filters to works more efficiently, keeping the water cleaner

2012 Pool Pump Rebates:

To get the Rebate:

  • Ask your pool service professional about rebates or visit a participating pool supply retailer for advice on which pump is right for your pool

Variable Speed Pumps

While Two-Speed Pumps are adequate for older pools, Variable-Speed Pumps presently provide the greatest potential for energy savings. Variable speed pumps allow greater flexibility and can be programmed for multiple speeds at the desired flow rate for each application. Contact one of our program partners to determine if your variable speed pump requires an additional control device to maximize energy savings.

FAQs

How can I save money by upgrading my pool pump?
Today’s pool filtration pumps are available with motors that have a variety of speeds. These types of pumps give you the option of pumping water at very low speeds to conserve energy or higher speeds to clean your pool quickly. Remember, the faster you filter your pool the more energy you will use. Filter slowly and for a longer period per day and you can save up to 80% on your current monthly electric pool costs.

Why does slowing the water down save pumping costs?
When using the low speed mode of the two or variable-speed pumps, the water moves slower and thereby reduces the friction in the system piping. Reduced
friction decreases the system back pressure and as a result the pump motor works less. A motor working less uses less energy.  That’s because it only takes a small amount of energy to keep water moving in a pool after the pump has been started.

How do I select the right type of pump?
While two-speed pumps are adequate for most older pools, the two speeds of the motor are preset and cannot be adjusted. The higher speed is used when more water flow is needed; e.g. when using a pool cleaner or starting up your roof- mounted solar heater or back washing your D.E. or Sand filter. Otherwise the majority of your filtration should be done on the lower speed.

The variable-speed pumps can do everything the two-speed can and more. Variable speed pumps can provide ultimate flexibility and can be programmed at more than four speeds and at the desired flow rate for each application allowing you to maximize energy savings by using just the right amount of energy to clean your pool and no more.
