Benefits

The Pentair SuperFlo VS EC-342001 gives pool owners a practical way to upgrade to variable speed technology without moving into a larger commercial or high-horsepower pump. By allowing the pump to run at lower speeds for daily filtration and higher speeds when extra flow is needed, it can help lower energy use while still keeping the pool properly circulated.
