Variable-Speed Pool Pumps

Variable-speed pumps can change how a pool circulates, filters, heats, and uses automation. Riptide helps with repair, programming, installation, and the decision about what fits the existing system.

Useful next steps

Understand the system before you change it.

Riptide serves St. Petersburg and the surrounding Tampa Bay area with repair, installation, and renovation support.

01

A pump is more than its motor

Programming, speed settings, schedules, valves, filter condition, automation communication, and system hydraulics all affect the result. Riptide can investigate a pump that has power but will not start, starts and stops, loses prime, runs loudly, leaks, trips a breaker, or does not follow its schedule.
