Nidec U.S. MOTORS has introduced the Neptune Hybrid, an extension of the Neptune motor line and the first in a series of enhanced Neptune products the company will launch over the next year.
The Hybrid offers up to 80% energy savings for homeowners and meets the new efficiency regulations from the U.S. Department of Energy, which take effect in September 2025. This patented new motor technology features a high-efficiency brushless permanent magnet motor integrated with a standard PSC induction motor and a variable speed control.
The Neptune Hybrid motor is an example of achieving greater efficiency through variable speed. When operating at 50% of speed, the motor uses only 12-14% of the full speed power. The BPM is capable of variable speed levels from 600 to 2,760 RPMs, ideal for circulating the water in residential pools. At 3,450 RPMs, the PSC motor activates, providing extra power needed for vacuuming the pool.
In addition to meeting 2025 DOE requirements, the motor complies with the California Energy Commission Appliance Regulations (Title 20) and New York state efficiency regulations. The Neptune Hybrid was recognized as a Top 50 product for 2024.
New and replacement pool and spa motors from U.S. MOTORS are available exclusively through pool industry professionals and distributors. Find out more at usmotors.com/pool-and-spa.
