*UPDATE TO LAWS*
Here is some new information regarding Florida laws:
For Residential Pools the new law slated to take effect at teh end of the year requires all new residentail swimming pools to use a cariable-speed circulation pump instead of a single-speed pump. This law was passed in 2008 as part od an energy conservation bill. Variable-Speed pumps, if used the correct way consume 30 - 90 percent less electricity than a single-speed pump because it runs at a less intense level. This could mean savings of up to $1000 annually in electric bills of pool owners. Variable-Speed motors are likely to pay for their higher initial cost within their first two years of operatrion. Licensed pool contractors are the only people qualified and trained to conduct pool repairs including the wiring necessary for pool pumps. Please

As far as Commercial Pools go:
The Florida Legislature passed legislation requiring that all public pools or spas be equipped with anti-entrapment drain covers and a device on system that protects against entrapment. The law will continue to alloq gravity drainage but allows other options as well to be used for anit entrapment. Other options consist of safety vacuum release system, suction limiting vent with a tamper-resistant atmospheric opening or an automatic pump shut-off device; these must be installed by a licensed pool contractor as required by the legislation when it becomes law.
