25,000 gallon pool in houston texas. Right now my pump is costing me about $110 per month just to run it about 8 hours a day. Also going to upgrade to salt water pool this summer. I have no idea what to look for or how to shop for pumps or salt water cell systems. Is there a consensus as to...

it has been 100 or more an average. My daily bleach went from 1/2 bottle to 1 bottle every day to keep it up above 4 every day. I don't see any reason why the chlorine would dissolve as the temperature goes up. Unless the suns rays are just that more strong. Just curious if there is...

Bought a house last April. My best estimate for my energy costs per month to run the pool pump is $110 per month. It is a hayward pump single speed. I could post the brand and model and hp but I don't know how relevant that is to thisi post. I don't have any details on it as to how old it is...
