My local power company offers a $350 rebate but the pump must be 'professionally installed.' Most places around me seem to insist on you buying the pump from them (for way more than it costs on the internet) in order to offer you a nicely inflated 'installed' price of around 1600 dollars.
I purchased mine from VMinnovations for 850 no tax, free shipping + 5% off coupon and it came to 807 shipped. found a local pool service who will come and check my work for the price of an $85 service call. so net it all comes out to $542. My current hayward 2hp pump costs about 100 dollars per month (2.25kw @ 8hrs x 30 days @.19c/kwh) to run in peak summer (i need 8 hours of SWG chlorination to maintain my chlorine levels even with 70-80 CYA). i'm looking forward to the savings. seems like it should pay for itself with in about 2 seasons.
