NOTE: Title 20 does not regulate pumps used for other features, such as booster pumps for cleaners, waterfall pumps, etc. Only pumps connected to a filter are regulated by Title 20. Beginning January 1, 2008, pool pumps with a “Total Horsepower” of one or larger must be two-speed or variable-speed. If a pump is purchased as a replacement and it is 1 HP or larger, it must be two-speed or variable speed. Additional controls must be purchased if they are not included with the pump and the control system must be capable of defaulting to a low-speed setting after running at a higher speed for some other purpose, like running a cleaner or water feature.

NOTE: The “high/low” switch found on some two-speed pumps does not qualify as an automatic control. The programmable Pentair IntelliFlo VF does comply but the IntelliFlo VS does not comply as a controller, and a separate control must be added such as the Pentair Intellitouch, Pentair EasyTouch, Hayward AqualLogic, Jandy Aqualink, Intermatic Dual Control Systems, and X-10 Pro Pool/Spa Control Systems.
