Hi Jim-sbc,
You have an IntelliFlo pump, so I would not think it would cost much to run it 24/7. It does not appear that you have a heater, so you could run at about 1200 RPM most of the time. I'm sure our electrical rates are not the same, but I can run 24/7, mostly at 1200 RPM for less than $20 bucks a month.
Are you running faster that 1200? If so, why?
I would also think about bumping your CYA up to 70 so that you will have less FC loss per day.
Thanks,
Jim R.
Jumping into an old thread, but it seems you may have an answer to my question. How do you know how much energy your pump is using? I have a 2017 Pentair WhisperFlo WFE-6 1.5hp. I can't seem to find anywhere what the RPMs or wattage are to back into KwH based on running 8 hours per day. In the end, I'm trying to figure out if it makes sense for me to proactively upgrade to a VSP from an energy consumption standpoint. Thank you!
