Sheesh. After a few months of really, really high electric bills, I need to get a more efficient pump.
My current pump is this beast:
Century Centurion B130
2 HP
3450 RPM
230V
1.20 Service Factor
10.5 AMPs
It's a 10,000 gallon pool with a spa and two small water features that run off the pump.
Needless to say, this pump is really pumping up my electric bill! (My top tier rate is $.31/kwh!)
It looks like the Intelliflo VF is the Cadillac of efficient pool pumps, and since it would seem to pay for itself (especially with the $200 rebate from SoCal Edison), I would be willing to spring for it.
The question is whether there is another pump that can save me as much money? Any advice? Or is the Intelliflo the one to go with?
