Slash Your Pools Running Costs
Upgrade Your Pool Pump with AquaX iSaver VFD
If you're a pool owner looking to reduce energy costs, extend equipment life, and enjoy a quieter, more efficient system, the AquaX iSaver Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is a game-changer.
Designed to transform a standard single-speed pool pump into a high-performance, energy-efficient system, the iSaver X helps you save up to 80% on your electricity bills—without needing to replace your existing pump.
🔍 What Is a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)?
A Variable Frequency Drive, or VFD, is a motor controller that adjusts the speed and frequency of an electric motor. In the context of pool pumps, this means you can fine-tune the pump's RPM (revolutions per minute) to match the needs of your filtration system, rather than running it at full speed all the time.
The AquaX iSaver connects to your existing single-speed pump and gives you digital control over its performance.
⚙️ How the iSaver VFD Works
Instead of always operating at 100% power, the iSaver allows you to:
- Lower the motor speed for daily filtration (which doesn’t require high pressure)
- Increase speed for short periods like backwashing or vacuuming
- Schedule run times and speeds using an intuitive touchscreen interface
It applies the Pump Affinity Laws, which state that reducing pump speed leads to cubic reductions in energy consumption.
Example:
Reducing speed to 50% =
👉 Power consumption drops to just 12.5% of full-speed usage!
🌟 Key Benefits of Using iSaver X
💡 Massive Energy Savings
Running your pump at half-speed can save up to $794 per year (based on a 1200W pump, 8 hours/day, $0.26/kWh electricity
rate).
With energy prices on the rise, these savings can make a big difference.
📉 Lower Operational Costs
Besides electricity savings, slower pump speeds reduce wear and tear, helping you extend the life of your pump and filter—delaying costly replacements.
🔇 Whisper-Quiet Operation
No more noisy pump motors disturbing your backyard oasis. Lower speeds mean significantly quieter performance.
🧠 Smart Control with Touchscreen Interface
The easy-to-use touchscreen lets you program daily cycles, monitor energy usage, and customize pump operation at the touch of a finger.
🌍 Eco-Friendly
Cutting your energy use doesn’t just save money—it also lowers your carbon footprint, making your pool setup more sustainable.
🛠️ Quick Installation
The iSaver X is designed to work with most single-speed pool pumps. Just wire it in, configure the settings, and start saving—no new pump needed.
💰 Real-World Savings Example
Original pump: 1200W
Reduced speed: 50%
New power usage: 150W
Daily run time: 8 hours
Electricity cost: $0.26/kWh
Daily Usage | 9.6 kWh | 1.2 kWh |
Daily Cost | $2.50 | $0.31 |
Monthly Cost | $75.60 | $9.36 |
Monthly Savings | — | $66.24 |
That’s nearly $800 in annual savings, and the VFD pays for itself in a matter of months.
✅ Is iSaver X Right for You?
If you already own a single-speed pool pump and want:
- A more energy-efficient pool system
- Quieter operation
- Digital scheduling and smart control
- Lower maintenance and longer pump life
…then the Aquagem iSaver X is one of the best investments you can make.
📦 Final Thoughts: A Smart Upgrade Without Full Replacement
Unlike buying a whole new variable-speed pump, the iSaver X gives you the same energy-saving benefits without the high upfront cost. It's the smarter, greener, and more cost-effective way to modernize your pool setup.
