Looking to buy a new pump variable speed pool pump. To help cut the cost of my electric bill. Any suggestions
What model and how modelCheck out the pentair VS pumps. I just had an IntelliFlo VS installed.
Eight hours during summer and four during winterYour electricity rate is pretty low in Tucson. If you are looking to save money a VS pump is not the way to go. Replace the motor with a 1hp two speed and replace the impeller. Or get a new 1 hp two speed pump, something like a SuperPump, SuperFlo, MaxFlo, or FloPro. Run on low most of the time, and you may have to run on high when you use the kreepy krauley.
How much do you run your pump? You might try reducing the pump run time to save energy.
Tried your link for my signature to add pool info and puts me in circlesWelcome to the forum
Can't even begin to help you until we know something about what it is you are using the pump for. Is it strictly for a pool or pool with spa or pool with water feature or pool with water feature and spa ?? Do you have solar heating and if so how high a lift to the panels ??
You need to give us some info to be able to help you. You can start but adding the pools info to your "signature" as outlined here - > http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/165-getting-started
Number one, what is the exact motor number of the pump motor you have. It should have a plate and whatever info you can post from that plate would be helpful. You've given no idea of what it is you have or need. Does the present pump work properly and are you just looking for cost savings ??
Have you considered a two speed or are you sure you want a VS ??
I am on my phone and will try the forum, thanksAre you using Tapatalk on your phone? The links may not work.
