The DOE pool pump regulations coming into effect this year will impact service companies nationwide. While the changes can feel daunting, a proactive approach will set your business up for success.

1. Audit Your Current Inventory

Identify which motors and pumps in your stock will no longer be compliant after the deadline. Develop a plan to sell or phase them out.

2. Educate Your Customers Early

Don’t wait for equipment failure to have the compliance conversation. Offer informational flyers or short videos explaining the upcoming changes.

3. Train Your Technicians

Ensure your service team knows how to install and program variable speed motors and understands their benefits.

4. Partner with Manufacturers

Build relationships with manufacturers like US Motors to secure supply and gain product support.

5. Adjust Your Sales Strategy

Highlight cost savings and efficiency benefits to make the transition appealing, not just regulatory.

By preparing now, you’ll not only meet compliance requirements but also position your business as a trusted, forward-thinking service provider.
