First let me state that yes I do know every pool is different, but as a new pool owner I'm curious about others experience.
Below are my numbers for a VS-3050 and Easytouch controller:
RPM and wattage rate from the Easytouch remote,
Other numbers courtesy of the spreadsheet developed & provided by mas985 in this thread.
7 hours at 1400 RPM, 230 watts, ~30.5 GPM, 13.6 ft head
2 hours at 2000 RPM, 550 watts, ~49.1 GPM, 26.4 ft head (run 1st thing in the AM to clean the surface of insects, etc).
Moving ~18K gallons moved per day, and with current electric rates at ~$0.14/kilowatt hours: ~$0.38 (a day), $11.40 (30 day month) or $138.5 (a year as I will be open year round).
