Only 60 Watts?

[Shirker]

I can't believe how little power this pump draws. Granted, I have to turn off the main drain to get any skimming action but at just 60 watts, I have no problem running it 24/7

Welcome to the club. It gets larger everyday. Wait till you see how skimmed and clean the pool is. Wait till you see how 24/7 FC production easily overcomes most of the weather events that cause problems for people. There was no reason for it, but this year i splurged all the way up to 212 watts and 1600 Rpms.

 

[Divin Dave]

Yup. Its one of those things that's hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.

Wait till the power company comes out to check your meter “because we noticed a significant change in your electric use”!

 

[Newdude]

Yup. Its one of those things that's hard to believe until you see it with your own eyes.

I have a dozen or more friends that saw mine with their own eyes and still came up with excuses on why the pump that costs them $100 a month is better.

 

[Arizonarob]

Well yeah, that $100 bucks a month energy hog of a pump, pushes more water for turnover.

I *can* crank mine up too, i just never see the need to. Slow and steady works for me. And cheap. Cheap is good.
