About EcoPump | EcoPump

Who We Are

We began laying foundations in 2007 that would end up helping to change an entire industry. For half a century, pool and spa sanitization was dominated by giant chemical companies that too often provide advice motivated by chemicals sales. Changing an industry that hasn't changed much in over 50 years is not an easy task. Fortunately, we had help from researchers, the media and pool owners. Pool pumps were exposed as using more energy than all other appliances combined. The dangers of pool chemicals were exposed, fueling a powerful movement away from chemical based disinfection and toward alternative disinfection. From day one, we set out to create an enterprise that is keenly focused on its customers, its strengths, and its future potential. Today, we’re still an inventor company infused with a pioneering spirit.

Customer Focused

We get excited every time we hear another success story. How about the high school swim team’s practice pool that was placed inside an air dome - the chlorine (chloramine) fumes were bad – so bad the students could hardly breathe. It’s hard to practice your stroke when you have to get fresh air every few minutes. SpectraLight UV was installed and the problem was gone in 24 hours. How about when the US Navy called with high bacteria counts in their dolphin pool. SpectraLight UV now protects the dolphins while the dolphins help protect our country. A fascinating story. And then there are the dozens of stories about children who are able to discover the joy of swimming, after previous allergic reactions to chlorine. At the end of the day, it's about protecting what's important.

Our Future Together

We are all charting a course for the future. We are fortunate to be here at a time of sweeping change in the pool industry. We are excited and thankful for the incredible support we have received from our customers, the public, and our employees. In seeking to arouse everyone’s enthusiasm to contribute to our success, we aim to impart one thing above all else: our products are designed to preserve health and safety of both people and our environment. Together, we will help shape our future through socially responsible living, which now includes socially responsible swimming pools and spas. Together we will lower the global dependence on chlorine and chemicals, helping to protect what's important.

What is Our Biggest Challenge?

Getting the message out to pool owners takes time. For half a century, pool owners have been forced to accept pools that use large amounts of energy, chlorine, and chemicals. That’s not an easy thing to change. Local pool companies generally offer 100% chemical disinfection or salt water pools, but have been slow to embrace new technology. Chances are your local pool service company doesn't yet offer ultraviolet disinfection or pumps like EcoPump. Unfortunately, advice is too often motivated by chemical sales or profit margins. Luckily today’s pool owners are smart and do their own homework. That’s why thousands of pool owners have moved to the "less is more" side of swimming pool disinfection.
