A variable-speed pump costs more up front but runs at low speed most of the time, using a fraction of the electricity of a single-speed. The running-cost saving often pays back the extra within a couple of years.
The pool pump is the biggest energy user in most pools. Replacing an old single-speed with a variable-speed pump cuts running costs dramatically, so the higher purchase price is usually recovered through lower power bills.
