This requires a grain of salt, as I didn't live in the house a year ago. I insisted that they clear the pool that month for inspection, so I know the old pump ran a lot. At any rate, it's the right direction for sure!
I feel judged...

On the other hand, think of all the road wear and tear; gas for/from the car; etc you are saving by not having to drive to the community pool every day. All evens out. Enjoy!
Between lots and lots of LED bulbs and my new VS pump, I'm definitely ahead. No public pools in my future. (with the exception of swim-up bars. I have a few weeks to find rationale to support that)
I recently discovered the same thing with my electric co. They have it down to 15 min increments. I can see when the pump kicks on.It's funny to see that jump and drop just for a simple pump!! Guess it might be time to get a two speed.
My power company sends out paper versions of these usage reports. I am pretty sure our pump uses more electricity than the heat pump. It is ridiculous. Anyone know if a dual speed pump would really save much in operating costs?
A 2 speed pump will pump half the water and use 1/4 of the electricity as it does on high.
