Standby Power Usage of Intelliflo VF

[Mike_W]

... I have noticed that the IntelliFlo seems to use somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 Watts in standby as measured by my whole house energy monitor. That is to say, I am inferring this change based on the higher baseline power usage at night when basically everything is off...In any event, has anyone tested these pumps' standby power usage and/or noticed an unusually high standby power draw?

Going back to the OP's question, the Energy Star folks track standby power. The number they give for the Intelliflo VF 011012 is 4 watts average during standby. Go to the website below and click the number "35" in the first column for all the details.

Nice. That makes a lot more sense. It's still high, relative to more modern electronics, but nothing I would be concerned with. It turns out that a wireless printer in my house got turned and left on the same day as my pump got installed, and that accounts for about 10W of the change I saw. I am back down to around my previous baseline.
