Ultra-Quiet, Energy-Efficient Variable-Speed Filtration
The Poolrite SQ Pro 1.0HP Energy Efficient Variable Speed Pool Pump pairs Poolrite’s proven pump architecture with modern efficiency. It features a high-efficiency brushless DC motor, true variable-speed control, and ultra-quiet acoustics for a calmer poolside. With a 6-star energy rating, many owners see up to 70% savings on running costs compared to single-speed pumps.
The intuitive digital panel with RPM readout lets you set and save speeds for everyday filtration, vacuuming, and backwash – so the pump runs exactly how your pool needs, when it needs it.
Installation is straightforward thanks to quick-connect swivel unions and 40/50 mm union adaptors that align with the Poolrite SQ series footprint, helping you keep existing plumbing. A clear, quick-access lid and large basket make upkeep simple, while durable, corrosion-resistant components support long service life.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much energy can I really save with the SQ Pro?
Poolrite rates savings at up to 70% vs single-speed pumps. For a real-world reference, the SQ Pro’s energy use is about 686.76 kWh per year, based on a daily run time of 4.51 hours. For a quick cost guide, multiply 686.76 by your electricity price (e.g., at $0.60/kWh that’s roughly $1.13/day or $34/month). Running lower RPMs for longer typically delivers the best efficiency.
Will the SQ Pro retrofit my existing Poolrite SQI/SQ Junior/SQ Gemini pump?
Yes. The SQ Pro is built on the same footprint and comes with 40/50 mm quick-connect unions, so it retrofits directly onto Poolrite SQI, SQ Junior, and SQ Gemini pumps without changes to plumbing. It’s also ideal for brand-new installations.
How quiet is the SQ Pro?
The pump runs at a very low noise level – quieter than a standard dishwasher – making it comfortable to operate even during the evening or in residential areas.
Do I need special plumbing or fittings?
No. The pump includes 40/50 mm quick-connect swivel unions, making it straightforward to install and connect to standard PVC pool plumbing.
What type of motor does it use?
The SQ Pro uses an advanced brushless DC motor, improving efficiency, reducing heat, and supporting a longer working life.
How do I control the speeds?
The digital control panel lets you pre-set and adjust speeds with an RPM readout, so you can fine-tune operation for filtration, cleaning, or backwash cycles.
What warranty does the SQ Pro come with?
It includes a 10-year warranty on the pump housing and 4 years on the motor and components, backed by Poolrite’s long reputation for quality.
