Power Optimisers for Pools

The revolutionary new FutureWave™ Energy Saver may cut the current high cost of running your pool pumps by up to 75%

Not only are power prices soaring, this device will give you two things – power and savings. Pump savings of up to 75% of your power bill.

PLUS – there’s a bonus: Noise (measured in decibels) from your pool pump will drop a staggering 80% so you can pump any time of the day or night without disturbing your neighbours.

You will be able to take advantage of off-peak power prices, making it even more cost effective.

It’s kind to the environment, because that also means a 75% reduction in the energy used. That means less greenhouse gas emissions and a drastic lowering of your carbon footprint by three tonnes per year per pool.

The FutureWave™ patented Energy saver was developed in Queensland. It needs no plumbing or wiring – just plug it in, turn it on and begin saving money.

The FutureWave™ is so effective in reducing energy consumption that the unit can pay for itself in 1 – 2 years in many cases, depending on pump size, running times and tariff. futurewave energy save for pools

It is available in both a single unit and a dual unit that can run two separate pumps, thereby providing an even better return on your investment.

Appliances that can benefit from the FutureWave™ Energy saver include:

Pool pumps – domestic and commercial
Heat pumps
Solar pool water heaters
Air conditioning cooling towers
Water transfer stations
Agricultural applications
Hydroponics
Water Features
Irrigation

In fact, any application you can think of that uses an electric constant flow pump/motor.

How does the FutureWave™ Energy Saver Work?

Most household pumps have single phase motors, which are inherently inefficient as they use a large amount of energy to start. In addition, these pumps are not designed to have the speed of the motor reduced, so they stay on the one speed the entire time, consuming the same amount of energy regardless of the job they are doing.

The FutureWave™ Energy Saver will soft-start the pump motor, removing the large initial start-up demand for power. The pump will then operate at close to its normal rate for up to a minute while it primes the pump. Once the pump is fully primed, there is no need for it to draw the same amount of energy to do the job required. The

Energy Saver will wind the motor back down to the energy saving level selected, thus saving significant amounts of power without having any detrimental effect on the running of your pool.

What does this mean for You?

The benefits of the FutureWave™ Energy Saver are significant and can have an impact on both your immediate and long-term household or commercial outgoings, as well as reducing your carbon footprint.

SAVE ENERGY

Save from 50% to as high as 75% in some cases on your pump energy consumption, depending on which energy-saving level the FutureWave™ device is set on.

Typical saving s for a domestic pool range between $400 and $800 annually, depending on pump size, hours run and tariff – even higher savings again with the dual unit

Typical pay-back periods through savings are in the range of 12 months for some commercial applications and 2-3 years for domestic applications.

LESS MAINTENANCE

The FutureWave™ Energy Saver is expected to extend the life of the pool pump by significantly reducing wear and tear on the bearings and stress on the motor.

Most single-phase motors operate at extremely high bearing temperature, which contributes to their high failure rate. Typically a pump’s bearing temperature is less than half when using the FutureWave™ Energy Saver.

The FutureWave™ Energy Saver does not itself require maintenance.

SAVINGS WITHOUT COMPROMISING WATER QUALITY

With a reduction in the speed of the motor also comes a smaller proportional reduction of water through the pump. This allows the filter to clean or polish the water at a much more effective rate as the vast majority of pumps are trying to force the water through filters at a much higher rate or pressure than what is required for optimum results.

There is no need for additional use of chemicals, salt or acid.

Despite the reduced flow, the higher efficiency levels mean that the pump does not have to be run longer.

The slightly reduced flow will not normally effect the function or effectiveness of a pool Creepy Crawly / Barracuda device – in fact, in many cases it will improve results by reducing the cavitations effect caused by excess pressure though the cleaner head.

BETTER FILTRATION

Several trials have been conducted to establish the filtration power of the FutureWave™ Energy Saver, including daily monitoring at a major regional aquatic centre.

Laboratory tests and extended trials at major tourist attractions and apartment blocks have demonstrated a total lack of reduction in water quality.

NOISE REDUCTION

Once the FutureWave™ Energy Saver decreases the motor speed, you will notice a dramatic reduction in noise, estimated to be as high as 80%.

Many pool pumps have been situated away from household bedrooms and living areas due to the noise, often resulting in them being placed closer to your neighbours bedrooms and living areas. The FutureWave™ Energy Saver resolves the entire issue – allowing you to run your pump without disturbance to anyone during off-peak hours.

REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

The electricity needed to operate a normal household pool pump over a full year creates about 4 tonnes of carbon to be emitted into the atmosphere.

The FutureWave™ Energy Saver will reduce this by around 75% to about 1 tonne per year.
