Boost energy efficiency with Insnrg Qi, Sta-rite Enviromax and Astral Viron XT variable speed swimming pool pumps.
Your swimming pool pump is one of the hardest-working products in your home. This appliance must provide the ideal flow during filtration, a higher flow rate for backwashing the filter and a different flow rate again for specialised components, such as solar heating and water features. By performing at the optimal rate for each task, a variable speed pool pump achieves unmatched efficiency.
NCS Pool Heating only supplies and installs the highest quality variable speed swimming pool pumps in Australia. Featuring top brands like Insnrg Qi, EnviroMAX and AstralPool, our range is easy to operate, simple to maintain, eco-friendly and kind to your wallet. Get an obligation-free quote today and start saving on energy.
With its intuitive LCD panel, the Insnrg Qi variable speed pump adapts to provide the perfect flow rate while reducing energy costs by over 80%.
The Insnrg Qi Variable Speed Pump is possibly one of the few appliances that pays for itself. With energy savings of over 80%, your power costs are cut by between $750 and $1,000 a year (over a single-speed pump), which means your new pump could cover its cost in under two years.
Easy to operate with four fully adjustable speeding settings, you can set up the pump to exactly the flow it needs for all your different applications. If you have a suction cleaner, program the speed so it operates perfectly. A sand filter will require a lower speed for normal filtration and a higher speed for backwashing.
Operating Insnrg pool pumps at lower speeds not only saves you significant energy and reduces your electricity bills, but the slower the pump, the quieter the motor noise. Once installed the Qi pump can eliminate noise intrusion for your family and neighbours.
Plus, your Qi pump connects seamlessly to Insnrg’s inTouch automation system, allowing control at your fingertips on any smart device. Add the inTouch Portal to your system and adjust settings anywhere in the world via the home network.
Benefits of a variable speed pool pump
Exceptional efficiency
Look no further for energy efficient swimming pool pumps. Even at the same flow rate, these pumps consume far less power than single-speed models. With a reduced motor speed and water flow, you can save big on energy costs each year.
Superior durability
Unlike vented single-speed pumps, enclosed variable speed pumps keep the motor cooler and shielded from external elements like water and debris. This design ensures a longer lifespan by protecting the motor windings and bearings from environmental damage.
Flexible speeds
Adjust the pump’s speed to match your pool’s needs, ensuring peak performance and maximum energy savings. Whether it’s for filtration, heating, or running water features, you have full control to customise the speed for every function.
Remote control
Easily control and monitor your pump from anywhere, anytime with a handy mobile app. Our variable speed pool pumps harness the convenience of wireless connectivity, equipping you to fine-tune its settings in a few taps.
Quiet operation
Discover the quietest pool pumps in Australia. Variable-speed motors are enclosed, which contain noise instead of letting it escape through a vent. Even at higher speeds, these pumps make far less sound than single-speed models.
Improved circulation
A pool pump with variable speed works to boost water flow at the optimal rate in every situation. This enhanced circulation keeps your pool cleaner, clearer, and healthier by distributing chemicals more evenly and preventing stagnant areas.
Why choose an Insnrg Qi variable speed pool pump?

CUSTOMER testimonials
I recently had a 13kw Electric Inverter Pool Heater installed by Shane and Nick. Shane came out and assessed my site, provided me with various options to suit my pool and provided a competitive quote. The install was completed on a Saturday morning which included running some new pipes under the pavers so the heater could be installed at a more convenient location as we didn't have too much space where the pump is located. They also went that extra step and moved my outlet pipe to make it much more convenient for me at no extra charge or inconvenience to them. The whole process from start to finish was seamless, stress free and the heater is working great. Lara in the office took care of all the paperwork and payments and was a pleasure to deal with. If you need pool heating i would not hesitate in recommending NCS and will definitely use them again if ever required.
I have nothing but good things to say about NCS Pool Heating. Rob was very friendly and professional and the young bloke who installed it actually went above and beyond by replacing two roof tiles when installing the solar heating. Terrific company to deal with and more than happy to recommend.
NCS Pool Heating did a brilliant job! They were very flexible and worked around my schedule to fit me in. Shane was extremely professional, kind and always available to answer my questions. My son can now enjoy swimming all year. Thank you, NCS pool Heating.
Exceptional service and communication. NCS gave me a wonderful deal on my new super-efficient inverter heat pump, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with it!
A great customer-focused company. All staff I dealt with met all of my needs, and a job well done.
Very professional from quote to final installation. Very competitive price. Recommend.
Just wanted to thank all the team NCS Pool Heating for being so professional. Right from my initial contact with NCS, everyone was very helpful and extremely courteous. The boys that came to fit my pool were prompt, tidy and just easy to talk to, nothing was a problem. I have found this company amazing to work with; I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend NCS Pool Heating to anyone who needs any assistance with their pool. Once again thank you, team.
Thank you, Rob, Shane and Tom from NCS for a great pool heating installation especially with challenging piping areas and the height and steepness of the roof! Very nice team with great care factor! Pool nice and warm now with no work required. With appreciation, Max.
NCS was great right from the quote through to completion of the work. The installers were fast, replacing our heating in a morning, made sure everything was working as it should, & left the site spotless. Would definitely recommend NCS Pool Heating.
I can 100% recommend this company. All aspects of my experience were fantastic. The attention to detail regarding panel placement and running of pipes etc. was perfect, and nothing was a hassle. Thanks so much for everything.
Rob and the team provided timely and excellent service. Very happy with the outcome and the kids love the warm pool. Service was great, and the team are very professional.
I recently purchased solar heating a saltwater filter, salt chlorinator and pool blanket from NCS pool heating. The service was efficient, fast and professional. Tradespeople cleaned up after themselves, and we found the service fantastic, trouble-free and are thrilled with the result of the heater. In fact, we had to switch it off as the water became too hot !b A great experience from this company. Highly recommended.
We are thrilled with our Solar heating, installed by NCS. They were professional, well priced, and nothing was too much trouble. When we noticed that the location of some of the plumbing meant it was harder to access parts of our pool pump, they came back the next day and reconfigured the whole thing for us. They even came back a year later to move some pipes for us as we were installing a new deck. They were great to deal with, the product is top-notch, and we couldn’t be happier. Definitely recommended.
Rob & the team did a fantastic job on my Uncle's solar pool heating system. Very professional, reasonably priced and the job was completed well within the agreed timeframe. Would definitely recommend these guys.
I liked the fact NCS gave me alternatives and the price of these alternatives once I had told them what the problem was. I also liked the fact they had things in stock, and the job could be done in a timely manner. I would have no hesitation in dealing with them again.
We had NCS solar installed at our home eight years ago. We have never had a problem with any of the equipment, and our kids enjoy swimming in a warm pool from the start of September! Recently we had NCS out for a maintenance call, and Grant and Shane were fantastic. They arrived when they said they would, were polite and got the job done with no fuss and no mess left. We'd definitely recommend the team to anyone.
Your crew were very professional and “did you proud”. Please convey my thanks to them.
Great service, product and staff!
Thank you for sending such a great team to work on my pool heating. I could not fault them. Great workmanship, great working ethics and very professional in all the aspects of customer service. We would have no problem in advocating your services to others Please forward on to the boys my wife’s and my appreciation. You have a great business and team. Thanks again.
...Jack has been amazing over the entire process, responding to all my emails with clear and detailed information.
NCS Pool Heating did a magnificent job of installing our new solar panels and plumbing, with great efficiency and expertise. They used the highest quality materials to protect against attack from our local cockatoo population and great expertise to ensure that the heating system works exactly as promised. It is so easy to operate and has achieved very accurate temperature regulation. I am in the pool every day now from early October, an extra two months of enjoyment. THANK YOU!
Fabulous service, responsive, excellent to deal with!
Very happy with the service and products supplied. I have been using NCS for over 9 years and wouldn’t go anywhere else for our pool heating needs.

What a pleasure it has been to deal with NCS Pool Heating on the installation of our pool heating. From whoa to go the experience has been excellent. The company has been efficient, reliable and a delight to work with. Plus the 24 month warranty for the Premier Series Heat Pumps gives us lots of comfort. The installation went very smoothly. The black heat condenser units blend well into our garden area. And, the pool temperature is perfect. A quick survey of eight of our residents resulted in a 100% endorsement. And, to quote one resident, “I’ve only waited 40 years for this!” SO, GOOD ON YOU NCS!
NCS did a fantastic job installing our solar pool heating system and heat pump for the spa. It’s all now controlled on the Aquatek App which works brilliantly. Shane made sure everything worked perfectly promptly following up on any of my questions along the way. Highly recommended.
Great friendly service. Quality job and no hassles. Highly recommend NCS Pool Heating to look after your pool needs.
Great experience with NCS Pool Heating. Shane did a site visit and answered all my questions. Nick completed the install with minimal fuss. The heat pump works great and being able to control everything via the app is a bonus.
NCS Pool Heating replaced our roof-top absorber and plumbing after a roof repair. The technician was very professional, going above and beyond to diagnose and repair damage to pipes caused by other plumbers. Our system is now reinstated and working well at significantly less cost than all other quotes, thank you.
FAQs
A variable speed pool pump (VS pump) is an advanced system that offers adjustable speed settings, allowing you to tailor the pump’s performance to your pool’s needs while maximising energy efficiency.
Unlike traditional single-speed pumps that run at a constant rate, VS pumps use a permanent magnet motor that can be programmed to operate at different speeds at different times. That way, you can reduce energy consumption, noise, and operating costs.
Many models also include smart features like built-in timers, allowing you to automate cleaning cycles or schedule high-performance periods with ease.

The key difference between single speed and variable speed pool pumps is that single speed pumps operate at a constant speed, whereas variable speed pumps allow you to adjust the speed as needed. Single speed pumps typically run at the maximum operating speed of a variable speed pump.
As a result, variable speed pumps tend to be more energy-efficient and cost-effective, regulating water flow to match your pool’s specific needs. Ultimately, this means less power consumption and lower operating costs.
Absolutely! While the upfront cost may be a bit higher, the long-term energy savings of a variable speed pump make it a fantastic investment for any pool owner.
Backed by research from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, these pumps are proven to be more energy-efficient, adjusting to your pool’s needs. Whether it’s quietly running at low speeds when your pool isn’t busy or ramping up the power for peak usage, variable speed pumps deliver optimal performance with minimal waste.
In the end, the reduced energy bills more than make up for the initial cost, saving you money while keeping your pool in perfect shape.
For quieter operation and energy savings, set your pump to a lower speed during the night when your pool is resting, as it doesn’t need rapid water circulation.
When the pool is buzzing with activity or needs a quick clean, switch to a higher speed for faster filtration and tasks like backwashing.
It’s all about adjusting to your pool’s rhythm, ensuring it runs efficiently, day and night.
A variable speed pool pump typically lasts between 8 to 12 years, depending on several factors. Proper maintenance plays a crucial role in extending its lifespan, as does the pump’s quality, how often it’s used and the environmental conditions:
- Regular cleaning and upkeep prevent degradation and extend the pump’s life by ensuring it operates efficiently.
- Pumps with robust materials, such as thermoplastic composite resin, are more durable and therefore last longer.
- Pumps running at high speeds for long periods experience more wear and tear, whereas optimising speed settings reduces motor strain and increases longevity.
- Extreme weather and corrosion can damage the pump, especially if it isn’t adequately protected.
When selecting a variable speed pool pump, consider the following key features:
- Speed settings: These pumps offer a range of speeds, typically between 600 RPM and 3450 RPM, allowing you to fine-tune water flow and optimise energy use. More speed settings give you greater control over both performance and efficiency.
- Horsepower: Higher horsepower provides more power and faster water turnover, reducing operating time. However, it’s important to match the pump’s power to your filter’s capacity—too much horsepower can overwhelm the system, leading to inefficiencies and wasted energy.
- Pool chemicals: If you use a saltwater chlorine system, ensure the pump is designed to handle saltwater. Using an incompatible pump can cause rapid corrosion of internal components, shortening its lifespan.
Mount type: Consider how the pump is connected to the filter. A side-mount pump is positioned beside the filter, while a top-mount pump connects with the filter above it. Additionally, consider whether your pump is for an above-ground or inground pool, as above-ground models generally have lower flow rates.
By focusing on these features, you can choose the right pump for your pool’s needs and optimise its performance.
The cost of a variable speed swimming pool pump depends on its model and features. While these pumps tend to come at a higher upfront price than single-speed pumps, the long-term energy savings make them a more cost-effective choice in the long run.
