Nidec Expands Neptune Pool Pump Motor Line With New Option For Large Pools
Pool contractors and service companies can now offer residential customers a complete line of energy-saving Neptune pump motors with the addition of a 3.45 horsepower motor designed for larger pools. The Neptune line from Nidec features variable-speed motors with integrated controls for energy efficiency and easy operation.
The motors comply with the latest requirements from the Department of Energy and California Energy Commission, providing 80% or greater motor and control efficiency when operating at full speed.
When replacing a single-speed pump motor with a Neptune variable-speed motor, customers can keep their properly functioning pump and upgrade it to a more energy-efficient product. The motor is also designed for quiet operation when programmed for slower speeds.
The Neptune variable speed motor is easy to install and program. A Quick Start guide underneath the lid provides step-by-step instructions to ensure customers save energy and properly filter the pool.
The Neptune comes with a factory-installed run schedule which allows the unit to function after simply setting the time of day. Up to seven different daily schedules can be programmed. Neptune motors are also designed to communicate and operate with a variety of external system controllers in addition to the onboard user interface.
The enclosure is finned aluminum that provides a water ingress protection level of IPX5; to pass the IPX5 test, a water hose must be sprayed onto the motor from all directions with no water getting inside the motor.
