Pentair Water Pool and Spa produces a line of Eco Select™ products, some of which conserve water and all of which reduce energy and are long-lasting.

IntelliFlo pumps with permanent magnet motors (used in hybrid cars) provide a typical energy savings of 30 percent. Digital controls allow custom programming for each pump task, for up to 90 percent savings.

Max-E-Therm heaters offer reduced energy use and low nitrogen oxides emissions. ThermalFlo heat pumps use R410A, an environmentally-safe and non-ozone depleting refrigerant. They also use up to 80 percent less energy than gas-fired heaters.

Quad D.E., Clean & Clear Plus, and System:3 Mod Media and Mod D.E. filters require no backwashing, reducing water use by hundreds (if not thousands) of gallons per year.

IntelliBrite LED lights need only 37 watts to create the same light output as an incandescent or halogen light using 161 watts.

Legend II automatic pool cleaners operate using less energy because they do not require a booster pump.
