Pentair has been named a 2017 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year — Sustained Excellence award winner. Pentair has been an ENERGY STAR partner since 2013, and is being honored for its leadership in manufacturing ENERGY STAR certified pool pumps.
“We are proud to earn our fourth consecutive Partner of the Year Award, and the Sustained Excellence designation, and will continue to innovate and educate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” says Karl R. Frykman, Pentair SVP and president, water segment. “In 2005, we sparked an industry-wide revolution when we became the first to introduce variable-speed technology to the pool industry — years ahead of any other manufacturer. Since then, our energy-efficient pool pumps have helped conserve 10.7 billion kilowatt hours of energy, preventing the release of 6.9 million tons of carbon dioxide — the equivalent of 14.5 billion car miles not driven.”
