California Appliance Energy Regulations ( California Code of Regulations, Title 20, Sections 1601-1609), now restricts the sale of inefficient and antiquated pool pumps and replacement motors.
Effective July 1, 2015 it is illegal and punishable by a $2500 fine, to install a pool pump motor that is split phase or a capacitor start - induction type. 1 HP and greater motors shall have multi-speed capabilities (two or more speeds).
With the advent and popularity of variable frequency drives (VFD), variable speed pumps have proven themselves as more energy efficient - even when operating at their maximum speeds.
