Lower speed usually produces less flow in the same system. Required flow depends on the equipment and task; a universal speed or runtime cannot be prescribed from this definition.<\/p><\/section>   <section><h2>Related terms<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/pool-filtration\/\">Pool Filtration<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/pool-pump\/\">Pool Pump<\/a><\/li><li><a data-glossary-link=\"related-term\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/glossary\/water-circulation\/\">Water Circulation<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>   <section><h2>Learn more<\/h2><ul><li><a data-glossary-link=\"guide\" href=\"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/variable-speed-pool-pump-vs-single-speed\/\">Variable speed pool pump vs single speed<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/section>  <\/div>\r\n  <script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"DefinedTerm\",\"name\":\"Variable-Speed Pump\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"description\":\"A variable-speed pool pump can run its motor at different speeds to suit different circulation tasks.\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/variable-speed-pump\\\/\",\"inDefinedTermSet\":\"https:\\\/\\\/aiper.com\\\/blogs\\\/glossary\\\/#terms\"}<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":13585,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"aiper_reading_time":1,"aiper_last_reviewed":"","aiper_reviewer":0,"aiper_related_ids":[],"aiper_layout":"tool","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-13691","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"lang":"en","translations":{"en":13691,"de":13789,"fr":13840,"es":13890},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13691","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13691"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13691\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":13732,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13691\/revisions\/13732"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aiper.com\/blogs\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13691"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
