pentairequipmentsThe U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has recognized Pentair Aquatic Systems with a 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year award for its outstanding contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by manufacturing energy-efficient products and educating consumers about energy efficiency. This is Pentair’s second consecutive Partner of the Year award. Pentair and other award recipients will be recognized in Washington, D.C. on April 20, 2015. Read the full press release Click Here .

Pentair has been an ENERGY STAR partner since 2013. It was the first manufacturer to introduce variable speed technology to the pool industry and the first to gain ENERGY STAR certification for pool pumps.

In order for pool pumps to earn the ENERGY STAR certification, the pool pumps must be at least 30-72 percent more energy efficient than typical pumps. In 2014, all Pentair variable speed pump models and two-speed models earned ENERGY STAR certification. Currently, 57 Pentair pool pump models carry the ENERGY STAR certification. This represents more than half of all certified ENERGY STAR pumps available on the market.

In addition to manufacturing energy-efficient products, Pentair works to educate its customers about energy consumption through its Energy Initiative Program that shares pool energy efficiency and ENERGY STAR benefits at utility and energy conferences throughout the U.S. It also deployed more than 100 demonstration units to stores across the country, allowing customers to test drive this technology and learn more about variable speed pool pumps and the benefits of purchasing ENERGY STAR certified products.

Please celebrate with us at the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Twitter Party ON APRIL 8 at 2:00 p.m. EDT.  To join the party, follow @pentairpool and @ENERGYSTAR and use the hashtag #ENERGYSTARPOY.

Congratulations Pentair! – Ask the Pool Guy & Team
