IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps lead the array of Eco Select products, which are designed to save energy, conserve water, reduce noise and make other contributions to the environment.

SANFORD, N.C., November 15, 2007 — Pentair Water Pool and Spa® has introduced the Eco Select brand of environmentally responsible products for new and existing swimming pools. The brand is being unveiled this week at The AQUA Show in Las Vegas.

Today’s eco-conscious consumers face record energy prices, tighter and more expensive water supplies, and increased noise abatement ordinances. Eco Select products feature new technologies and smarter designs that reduce energy consumption — benefiting both the environment and consumers’ budgets.

“Demand is exploding for environmentally-friendly products that save money,” explains Carlos Del Amo, Vice President of Marketing and Product Development. “We know that consumers are expected to double their spending on green products and services during the next year. And, we think it’s the right thing to do.”

A new 16-page brochure titled “Going Green” describes the products that combine to form an Eco Select system. Led by Pentair’s revolutionary IntelliFlo variable-speed pumps, Eco Select products do the best job of saving energy, conserving water, reducing noise, and making other contributions to an environmentally responsible equipment system.

The Eco Select family of products includes:

· IntelliFlo and IntelliPro pumps
· High performance Max-E-Therm and MasterTemp heaters
· Heat pumps
· Select D.E. and cartridge filters
· Legend II pressure-side cleaners
· IntelliBrite LED lights
· IntelliTouch, EasyTouch and SunTouch automation systems
· IntelliChlor salt chlorine generators.

Each product supports the green system approach in its own way. Optimized pump speed improves the effectiveness of the filter, extending the time between cleanings and reducing both energy use on the front end and water use on the back end. It also improves heater performance, reducing run times and energy consumed. And the advantages go on and on.

By using Eco Select products, builders will deliver a synergistic and environmentally responsible package.

To obtain the “Going Green” brochure, dealers and builders can contact their Pentair Water Pool and Spa representative or call 800-374-4300.
