The Truth About DOE Changes.

Effective July 19, 2021, the goal of the new DOE pool pump regulatory standards is to reduce energy usage.




Dealer Inventory not affected

  • Dealers can sell and install any pump models until inventory runs out
  • After July 19, 2021, manufacturers are responsible for producing pumps that comply with new regulations

Major Benefits for Your Customers

  • New labeling requirements make it easy for consumers to compare efficiency of pumps
  • Higher efficiency standards help consumers save energy and money

A new way to measure energy efficiency

  • Weighted energy factor (WEF) is the new standard for evaluating pump efficiency
  • The higher the WEF rating, the more efficient the pump
