The Department of Energy (DOE) has established new standards on pool pump motors that will be implemented in September of 2025, forcing manufacturers to meet their energy efficiency expectations.
The Biden Administration finalized the new rules, which will cost traditional pool pump owners an estimated two-and-a-half billion dollars over a lifetime of equipment purchases.
The DOE, however, claims the change will ultimately cut around eight billion dollars in users operating costs, as well as offering two billion dollars in “climate benefits.” (Trending: Navy SEAL Says Joe Biden Is A Disgrace

Major pool company Flurida has criticized the new regulations, saying the DOE’s decision is “unviable and will hurt the American consumer,” as the average cost of pumps will double to nearly one-thousand dollars.
“DOE concludes that the standards adopted in this final rule represent the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in the significant conservation of energy,” the DOE wrote.
“Specifically, equipment are able to achieve these standard levels using technology options currently available… as for economic justification, DOE’s analysis shows that the benefits of the standards exceed the burdens of the standards.”
