Good Day!
I've been searching through the forums and am not finding a simple answer for my questions. Maybe there isn't one and I apologize right up front for my lack of education and perseverance.
Simply put, I'm considering replacing my 2.6 hp single speed motor ($400, I think the bearings are shot, 32,000 gallons, spa, ic-60 swg, de filter) that I run 7-8 hrs. in the evening (I live in the Phoenix, AZ area) with a variable speed pump. I really don't see how buying a vsp is going to save me money. If I'm running the pump 8 hrs per night during my peak season, how is spending $2000 on a vsp and having to run it the same amount of hours going to save me money? The only answers I've seen/read seem to suggest that I should be running my pump 24/7, which of course would save me money with a vsp. But, I don't run it 24/7. Why should I if everything works fine with my current system?
I appreciate any insight.
Respectfully,
Mason
