Game Changer! Jandy SpeedSet Controller, New Pumps Features & Benefits with Senior Product Manager Steve Jones

Pool Chasers Podcast

Today we’re sitting down with Fluidra’s Senior Product Manager Steve Jones to explore the Jandy SpeedSet Pump Controller and new lineup of swimming pool pumps. With growing calls for a highly customizable and automation-friendly pump controller, Jandy went all-in on creating a world-class product that broke new ground in the pump industry. In designing the SpeedSet, Jandy fixed the two most common complaints by servicers: a display that was too cheap and tiny, and a confusing menu that was tedious to navigate. Steve speaks on the development of the DV2A pump series, breaking down its 1.3, the 1.65, and the 1.85 models. He also explains the differences between the ePump and the FloPro. Finally, Steve breaks down WEF scores and how the DOE’s new regulation impacts the manufacturing and installation process, and the future of the pool pump industry.
