The demand for superior leisure experiences and energy efficiency in pool facilities has sparked a significant evolution in swimming pool pump technology. Manufacturers have made substantial progress in energy efficiency and noise reduction through innovative designs and advanced technologies. Here are four key trends in the performance of swimming pool pumps in 2024:
1. Innovative Technologies Transform Pool Pump Design.
Modern pool pumps incorporate sophisticated inverter technology to enhance energy-saving capabilities and minimize noise. The InverSilence technology of Aquagem is one of the leading technologies for addressing noise and inefficiency in pump applications, which combines the Full-inverter Drive, Volute Hydraulic Structure, and Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The Inverter BRAIN monitors real-time pipeline pressure and performs intelligent calculations for automatic adjustment in flow range and running capacity.
The pool pumps that harness the power of InverSilence technology can offer pipeline detection and early warning service to ensure appropriate flow rates. With 16,000 calculations per second and precise motor control, InverSilence technology delivers a super energy-efficient and quiet inverter solution, transforming user experience for enhanced efficiency and comfort.
2. Energy Efficiency Standards Drive High-Efficiency Pool Pump Adoption.
Energy efficiency standards for pool pumps are now mandatory in Australia, Europe, and the United States. It reflects a global commitment to sustainability and advances the widespread adoption of energy-efficient pool pumps.
Pool pump manufacturers face the challenge of enhancing energy efficiency and minimizing energy consumption through optimized design. Aquagem has developed intelligent full-touch controllers and self-developed inverter motors to achieve compliance with Australian, European, and North American standards and deliver significant energy savings. The InverPro and InverMaster models automatically adjust their speed and power usage based on the pool requirements, saving energy 15 to 20 times more than traditional single-speed pumps.
3. Quiet Operation Becomes the New Focus.
The focus on quiet operation has become crucial in assessing pool pump performance. Noise has always been a concern for users in home pools, upscale residential areas, and commercial swimming facilities. The World Health Organization guidelines suggest that nighttime noise should remain below 40 dB(A) outside bedrooms to mitigate potential health risks. Traditional pool pumps generally operate between 60 and 75 dB(A). However, quieter alternatives such as Aquagem's InverMaster can achieve noise levels as low as 30 dB(A), meeting the World Health Organization's recommendations for nighttime noise levels.
Thanks to InverSilence Technology, the InverMaster dramatically reduces the noise of the motor running, cooling fan, and the overall system, which is 20 times more silent than a standard variable-speed pump. In 2023, advancements in silent pool pump technology led to remarkable achievements, with Aquagem's inverter pool pump prototype setting a world record at 25.57 dB(A) for the Quietest Pool Pump (prototype).
4. Intelligence Design Empowers User Convenience.
Integrating Artificial Intelligence and IoT in swimming pool pumps has resulted in advanced features, such as the Intelligent Full Touch Screen Controller in Aquagem's inverter pool pumps, offering user-friendly operation for all pool users.
l User-Friendly Operation for All: Operating the pool pump is simplified to a single click, allowing even those with minimal experience to manage the system effortlessly.
l Real-Time Monitoring and Customization: Users can monitor the pump's performance in real-time, including metrics such as running capacity, flow rate, and power consumption, while also having the option to customize AI/MI modes and operate the one-click backwash.
l Remote Management for Convenience: When necessary, users can also control the pump remotely via a mobile app to achieve more convenient management and maintenance, improving the convenience of operation and the level of intelligence.
The Aquagem inverter pool pump series has garnered positive feedback for its efficiency and quiet operation, with the InverPro model winning the Usability Award at Golden Wave 2024, reinforcing its reputation for user-friendliness.
Future Pool Pumps: A Leap Towards Intelligence and Sustainability
As technology progresses and consumer demands shift, future pool pumps will operate more efficiently and quietly, enhancing user satisfaction and creating new growth opportunities for the pool industry. DATAINTELO projects that the Global Swimming Pool Pumps Market size will reach USD 3.77 Billion, with energy-efficient and quiet pumps playing a significant role in this growth.
Aquagem is leading towards a more intelligent and sustainable future with its innovative inverter pool pumps featuring the groundbreaking InverSilence technology.
