Certified pumps / Pentair

Pentair pool pumps on the ENERGY STAR certified list

The certified-product dataset holds 20 Pentair records as published on 2026-10-17. 6 of them are carried here in full detail — every measured operating point, standby power and the derived running cost — and have their own page. The best reported weighted energy factor among those 6 is 9.4 kgal/kWh, on the INTELLIFLO 1.5 VSF.

How its certified pumps compare on efficiency

Reported WEF for every Pentair record held in full detail, best first. Colour is the speed class. The tick is the median across all 330 certified in-ground records on the list, 8.6 kgal/kWh, so the bars show where this brand sits against the whole certified field rather than only against itself.

Pentair records with a page of their own

Each row links to that certification record's page: its measured operating points, the power it drew at each one, the cost of running it on this site's default schedule, and the nearest-sized certified pumps to it. Season cost is 10 hours a day at the low-speed measured point, 2 at the high-speed point where one is published, over 180 days at 18.31¢/kWh — an editorial default, not a source figure, and changeable in the cost calculator.

Every Pentair record on the certified list

All 20, including the 14 whose measured operating points are not held here yet. Brand and model number are spelled exactly as the dataset spells them, including capitalisation, because the model number is how a record is identified and a tidied-up version of it is a different string. A record without a page is not a worse pump: it means the detailed extraction has not reached it, and extending it is a straight re-run of the same fetch.

What this page does and does not say about Pentair

It reports what the EPA's certified-product dataset publishes, and nothing else. It does not rank Pentair against another manufacturer as a company, because the certified list is not a market survey: a pump missing from it may be uncertified rather than inefficient, and a brand with more records is not thereby better. It carries no installed price, no warranty terms, no reliability record and no dealer information, because the dataset has none of those. Nobody here has installed, measured or tested a Pentair pump; every figure above is a test-rig result published by someone else, reproduced with its retrieval date.

To use these numbers: work out the flow your pool actually needs in the turnover calculator, then price two candidates against each other at your own electricity rate in the cost calculator's side-by-side view. Before comparing any two ratings, read what the weighted energy factor measures — it is a single number summarising a test at several speeds, and two pumps with the same WEF can behave very differently in your plumbing. Every source, field name and assumption is listed on the methodology page, and the whole certified list, all 423 records, is on the certified pump index.
