I am looking to upgrade my PENTAIR Superflo High Performance 1.5HP pump because that electric bill in the summer drives me crazy. I have this pump for less than 1.5 season (installed August 2018) and in NJ I open pool at the end of May and closing late September. My summer electric bill runs about $500/month for the whole house (to compare my winter bill an average $250/month). I would like to go with Pentair 342001 Superflo. Seems to be a cheapest way to do the trick.
Question #1 - Those how upgraded from single speed to VS - did you really feel those savings on electrical bill?
Question #2 - I have a small pool and would it make sense to go with bigger than current 1.5HP output considering that I have relatively small pool and equipment pad is about 50ft away from the pool and I have 2" plumbing? Or it would be just a waste of money?
Thank you for your input in advance.
