What are Adaptive Flow™ Pumps?
What every pool needs:
- Set the flow your pool needs.
- The pump adapts automatically.
- Get optimal circulation + confidence your pool keeps getting ideal filtration day after day
Introducing CircuPool SmartFlo Adaptive Flow™ Pumps.
The CircuPool SmartFlo® AF is a next-generation, highly-efficient variable-speed saltwater pool pump. SmartFlo
AF uses leading-edge Adaptive Flow™ and target flow control technology to automatically adjust motor speed to maintain your selected flow rate (GPM). Unlike traditional variable-speed pumps that require manual RPM programming, Adaptive Flow™ technology optimizes performance in real time.
As the Adaptive Flow™ pump provides consistent
results from optimal flow settings, it delivers energy savings, long lifespan, and control in the palm of your hands via its mobile app.
Both the onboard controls and the mobile app make the CircuPool SmartFlo® AF completely customizable, allowing to be it a perfect fit for virtually any type of pool. Works great with saltwater chlorinators! Even better, its plumbing compatibility makes it easy to replace existing high-performance pumps of a number of popular models, including Pentair SuperFlo & Hayward Super Pump.

Your Pool Cares About Flow, Not About SpeedTM.
So why do variable-speed pumps require you to guess the right RPM? The fact is, if you're not controlling your
flow, its almost impossible to know how to set your pump to give the pool what it needs.
The CircuPool SmartFlo AF Pump allows you to easily set your pump up - via app or its onboard controls - targeting
precise flow rates. When you set your high or low flow rates and their run times, you're ensuring a precise,
purposeful amount of water gets circulated, automatically every day.
Flow MattersTM, See Why. When
you have optimal flow, your pool system (and your energy bill) get major benefits - scroll down to learn more.
Your Pool Pump Needs To Adjust To Changing Conditions.
Not only can you easy set your pump so you're getting just the right amount of circulation and "pool turnovers"
every day (how much circulation does my pool need?), you get the confidence of know you get
consistent performance - despite changing conditions. The SmartFlo AF automatically adjusts motor speed to maintain
your selected flow rate (GPM). Unlike traditional variable-speed pumps continue to run on their manually set RPM
programming, when backpressure builds up as your filter captures debris over time, CircuPool's Adaptive Flow™
technology optimizes performance in real time to deliver reliable results.
What might impact your flow?
- Dirty filter
- Water features on
- Heater engaged
- Solar system engaged
- Backpressure changes
Real Control Makes Real Energy Savings Possible.
CircuPool SmartFlo AF pumps make it achievable to get the promise of a variable-speed pump's energy efficiency. No
worries that your high-speed operation is too much, straining your motor and wasting energy. No worries that your
low-speed operation isn't moving enough water. Get the confidence of knowing that your pump is set to maximize the
energy savings potential of your variable-speed pool pump - up to 85% energy savings (up to $850 - $1800
every year)! SmartFlo AF pumps give you the control you need, delivering ideal circulation & filtration,
energy efficiency, along with quiet operation.
Always Stay Connected.
Your Smart Pool Starts Here. Stay in control using its Wi-Fi enabled app - check its status or change its operation
from your mobile device. Get realtime alerts if your attention is required. Get CircuPool Confidence with SmartFlo
AF pumps.
Benefits of Optimizing You Pool's Flow Rates
Conventional variable-speed pool pumps come with the promise of serious benefits, but for many achieving those
benefits aren't a given! Adaptive Flow™ Pumps put you in control and make it easier than every to get these
significant benefits.
- Realistic Energy Savings - Getting real reductions in energy use is better than savings
intentions. Did you know? Sometimes, its possible for people who upgrade who upgrade to conventional
variable speed pump to end up spending more on energy! A pump that is arbitrarily set to high
RPM's may end up working much harder than it needs to to move the water. Instead, pumps with Target Flow Control
can eliminate this problem.
- Precise Circulation - Every pool can benefit from achieving 1-2 "pool turnovers" a day, so
you should be moving an intentional amount of water. Adaptive Flow™ Pumps with Target Flow Control make it
possible to set this up and ensure that you keep getting consistent results.
- Ideal Filtration - Pool filters work best withing certain flow rates - too much flow and your
"push" the dirt & debris through the filter media instead of capturing it(common with improperly set variable
speed pump & traditional single speed pumps)
- Consistent Pool Sanitation - Ensure your salt cell is able to keep generating chlorine
throughout the pool system's daily run time. Pumps set to an improperly low RPM setting can move too little
water to keep the salt cell full of water, causing chlorine generation to cease. Adaptive Flow™ pumps with Target
Flow Control can eliminate insufficient water flow.
- Safe & Effective Heating - Gas heaters and heat pumps are designed for controlled flow
rates for both safety and heating efficiency - Target Flow Control helps you ensure proper temperature control!
- And More! From your return jets effectively moving water to your skimmers, to in-floor
cleaning systems, to water features and more, so many pool system components depend on proper flow.
SmartFlo AF - Flow Is What You Need To KnowTM
*Savings based on Energy Star savings calculator with 220THP variable-speed pump compared to a 1.5HP
single-speed pump running US average run times and energy costs on a 20,000 gallon pool as of 2026. Individual
Weighted Energy Factor (WEF) scores and savings may vary by model.
Actual savings may vary based on local utility rates, pool size, pump run time, pump horsepower, pump RPM,
