New efficiency regulations start in July. Here’s why you should prepare now.

We have three reasons why getting ahead of upcoming changes from the Department of Energy (DOE) gives your business a huge advantage. It’s not only about needing to comply, but it’s also about offering the best products possible to your loyal customers.

Selling compliant pumps is beneficial for both you & your consumers. Everybody wins when it comes to ultra-high efficiency pump models that comply with the new DOE standards. Consumers will save on energy costs and enjoy quieter performance; and you will benefit from new sales. In addition, we’re proud of our new XE Series ultra-high efficiency pumps as pool owners will be enticed by our promise of industry-leading energy savings—as well as a purchase price up to 1/3 less than equivalent variable-speed models. Not to mention, your customers will love that all our ultra-high efficiency pumps are backed by our 60-day 100% Satisfaction Guarantee: if the pool owner isn’t convinced that it’s the best pump they’ve ever owned within two months, we’ll take it back and cover the equipment costs. No questions asked.

Easy pump comparisons increase customer confidence & purchase intent. One great feature of the new DOE regulations is that all newly manufactured pumps (on or after July 19, 2021) will need to clearly label their energy efficiency in the form of weighted energy factor (WEF). This standardized metric makes it easier than ever to compare one pump to another: the higher the WEF, the more efficient the pump. It’s that easy. As everyone gets accustomed to the new metric, you’ll be able to get a sense for what makes for a “good” WEF score (TriStar® VS 900 is rated #1 in energy efficiency with a whopping 12.9) and quickly compare scores across pump categories and brands.

Consumers are looking to you as a trusted source of information. This is an opportunity to earn credibility with pool owners by using your expertise to help them save money. Sure, it helps your business that you know the difference between total horsepower and hydraulic horsepower, and that you can rattle off VS pumps in descending order of WEF rating. More than that, though, this is your chance to provide consumers with both valuable information and energy-efficient, DOE-compliant products that won’t break the bank. You will have an opportunity to demonstrate top-notch customer service, and customers get the added confidence of knowing that you’ve got their backs through whatever change comes their way in the future.

Inspiring Swimming Pools for a Dreamy Summer

Inspiring Swimming Pools

Your backyard can be anything but ordinary when it’s transformed into the oasis of your dreams, complete with a pool. It’s easy to beat the heat and find the fun when you have your own swimming pool, the ultimate summer backyard destination. Let this be the summer when you enjoy a resort oasis of recreation and relaxation, right at home.

Whether you dream of an elegant, modern retreat or an inviting kid-friendly waterpark, you’ll find something to love in the inspiring swimming pools we’ve included below. These dazzling pools truly give off a dreamy summer vibe you’ll love, so let’s dive right in!

Inspiring Swimming Pools for Dreamers
If you’re hoping to build a new backyard retreat this year, start by gathering photos of pools and backyards you love. Take inspiration from some of the most famous resorts and enchanting residential pools. Make a note of your favorites or pin pool photos to your Pinterest board. Then share your saved pool photos with your pool builder and get ready for the best summer of your life.

Finding Photos of Inspiring Swimming Pools

What are the best places to find inspiring pool photos? Here are some helpful ideas:

  1. When you’re on vacation, take inspiration from the residential pools and hotel pools you visit. Snap photos of the pools you want to remember.
  2. Flip through magazines that feature stunning pool photo galleries, such as these: Aqua Magazine, Swimming Pool, and Luxury Pools. Many home magazines feature innovative, lovely homes with stunning backyard pools. Look for Architectural Digest, Veranda, and Southern Living. Photo books are a good option too – enjoy paging through the beautiful book, Splash: The Art of Swimming. This book celebrates “the style, design, and joy that pools bring to us.”
  3. Search online for recent articles about residential swimming pools. These online articles feature dreamy pools to inspire you:
