New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional variable-speed pumps & filtration in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Variable-speed pool pump installation in New Orleans is the biggest running-cost saving available to a pool owner and the single best defence against a green pool, because in this climate turnover is everything. We size and install variable-speed pumps with matched cartridge, DE, or sand filtration, rebuild tired equipment pads, and program the speeds for a season that runs March into October. The physics is what makes it work. Power draw falls far faster than speed does, so running at half speed for twice as long moves the same water for a fraction of the energy. It also filters better, because water moving slowly through the media spends longer in contact with it and gets more passes per day. And it is dramatically quieter, which in a tight Uptown or Mid-City yard where the pad sits under a neighbour's window has settled more than one dispute. The local angle is run time. Our heat, humidity, sunlight, and organic load mean a New Orleans pool needs more daily turnover in July than the same pool would in a dry climate, and a single-speed pump makes that expensive enough that owners quietly cut hours and then wonder why the water is dull. A variable-speed pump lets you run the long hours the climate demands at a cost you will actually accept, which is why we treat it as algae prevention as much as an energy upgrade. On filtration, cartridge is the default for most homes: no backwashing, no wasted water, and you hose the elements out a few times a year. DE polishes to the finest particle size, and it earns its place here on pools under live oaks fighting constant fine organic debris and pollen, or on any pool recovering from a serious algae bloom, because afterwards you want the finest filtration you can get. Sand is the cheapest and coarsest and is a fair choice on a large commercial pool with a controller doing the work. We size the filter generously to the pump, rebuild manifolds and valve sets that have grown by accretion over thirty years, replace shaft seals, impellers, and motors, and replace storm-damaged and flood-damaged equipment, which is a regular part of the job in this parish.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do variable-speed pumps & filtration
The difference between variable-speed pumps & filtration that lasts and variable-speed pumps & filtration that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
