I'm trying to take advantage of our power companies (SCE) $200 rebate on VS pumps by the end of the year as I will eventually go with a VS pump. Currently I have a 5 year old Hayward Energy Flo RS Pump - .75HP (1.85SF) on 1.5" piping that consumes 1kW. I run about 4hrs in winter and 8hrs in summer. I have solar but I run it just a few weeks a year as I have a cover that keeps heat in pretty well. I've been keeping track of our power bills the last year, and if I can get out of Tier 2 ($.20/kwh that starts at ~300kwh) and Tier 3 ($.28/kwh that starts at ~375kwh), I can save $350/yr.
Edit: 22,000 gallon pool, 1.5" piping, solar, 48sqft Hayward DE filter

Is there any other info I should supply to help make a suggestion? Thanks in advance for any advice on offer.
