I was writing (and talking about) the pool pump rivalry between Pentair's Intelliflo and Hayward's Ecostar. Guess what, another contender is making its way of turning the rivalry into a three-way match.
AstralPool launched its version (European counterpart) of environmentally-friendly swimming pool pumps in November 2010. Named Victoria Dual Speed, this boasts these cool features:
Dual speed settings; high-speed and low-speed
Okay, you might say; "But Intelliflo and Ecostar have more than 2 selectable speed," but let's face; it too many options sometime complicate things. Here's the kicker, AstralPool Victoria Dual Speed can be accessorized with control panel that enable the user to run the pump automatically alternating 2 speeds.
Ultra-silent filtering results
The site says; "sound level reduction of 20 audible decibels." Now, I assume you have that big question mark in your head about how 20 decibels sound, well, all I can say is it's no different from Ecostar and Intelliflo's TEFC.
Saves Energy Cost up to %60
The 2 other pumps claim that you can save energy cost up to %90. Hmmm... %30 percent difference there you go, however, %90 savings? for some, it's too good to be true but that sure is a lot of savings.
Available in a range of 1 CV to 2.5 CV singlephase motors and is completely interchangeable with AstralPool’s VICTORIA, VICTORIA PLUS and SPRINT pumps
Interchangeable - music to my ears!
Average Price of Victoria Dual Speed 1 to 2.5 HP
AstralPool Victoria Dual Speed Pump 1.0 HP €580 (Approx. $ 824.5)
AstralPool Victoria Dual Speed Pump 1.5 HP €650 (Approx. $ 924.1)
AstralPool Victoria Dual Speed Pump 2.0 HP €670 (Approx. $ 952.5)
AstralPool Victoria Dual Speed Pump 2.5 HP €750 (Approx. $ 1,066.2)
If you're somewhere in Europe then enjoy the free delivery delight but if you're not then expect some shipping costs or probably you will just consider the rivalry of Hayward and Pentair.
