At Pentair, we aim to create a better world for people and the planet through smart, sustainable water solutions. This includes creating products that support the conservation of resources through energy and water efficient technologies.

As part of these efforts, we are proud of our continued collaboration with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program to help our customers save energy, save money and protect the planet with energy-efficient solutions. For 30 years, the ENERGY STAR program has been a leading resource for saving energy and protecting the environment. Consumers and businesses alike have come to rely on its well-recognized blue symbol to make well-informed decisions as they look to choose or invest in energy-efficient products.

Today, October 11, we are excited to celebrate ENERGY STAR Day as an opportunity to reflect on the need to continue efforts for energy efficiency as well as celebrate our successes in and the benefits of energy conservation – for both home and business owners alike.

Energy Efficiency for Your Pool

Swimming pools enhance the outdoor experience and contribute to a healthy, active lifestyle. But, without the right equipment and maintenance, pools can use water and energy inefficiently.

Pentair was the first pool equipment manufacturer to have an ENERGY STAR certified pool pump and has been recognized as an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for nine consecutive years. Since 2005, Pentair’s ENERGY STAR pool pumps have been responsible for a cumulative 39 billion kWh of energy savings, the reduction of 15.9 million tons of CO2 emissions and $5.3 billion in operative cost savings for U.S. consumers.*

In addition to our ENERGY STAR-rated pool pumps, Pentair offers smart, sustainable solutions to help pool owners conserve energy and make thoughtful environmental choices with solutions like automated controls, energy efficient heaters, LED lighting products, and water treatment technologies that use fewer chemicals. Pentair is committed to innovating products that help pool owners reduce their energy footprint.
