| Studio City Pool Pump Repair Tips
For California residents, the new Title 20 law requires upgrading to a 2-speed or variable speed pump whenever the motor needs replacement. The exception is when a <1.0 total hp pump is sufficient. Multiplying hp rating x the Service Factor (on the motor info plate) will provide the total hp. Pump manufacturers are now designing pumps to meet this <1.0 rating as it costs much more to install the higher end pump with necessary controllers (upgraded timeclocks). Whether you reside in Malibu or Studio City, pool pump repair considerations require professional knowledge as these new mandates must be followed or otherwise void the manufacturers warranty. The upside is savings on your electric bill, as the 2-speeds can see up to 30% decrease in energy usage, while the variable speeds can save up to 75%. If you currently have a high hp motor, a 2hp for example, you will see significant savings. As well, these pumps will be much quieter while in normal low-speed operation.
