I recently bought an Inteliflo VS 3050 and had it installed on the old timer. It now runs about 14 hours a day. I can monitor my electricity usage hour-by-hour with something called “google power meter” which links to my SDGE account and my smart meter. The difference in consumption between the old pump and new is absolutely remarkable. The pump was down for a few days while the caulk on the new pump cured. When I turned it back on, google power meter basically shows that it has no discernible effect on the power used. Its as if it is not running at all.
Definitely get one. I got mine for about $900 online, had it installed for $50, and get a $200 rebate from SDGE. Its totally a no-brainer.
Thanks for this information dude! I really need a new pool pump. I can’t use my pool. I really need it so badly because I need to perform my swim workout everyday.

I got the Intelliflo VF. Before, I had my 2 kW pump running for 4 hours, for a total of 8KW/day in electricity. Now, mine runs at 300W for 14 hours a day, for a total of 4.2KW/day. That’s 50% savings. Since my electricity usually gets into the higher tiers, that’s 30c/KW, or about $1.20/day that I am saving. That’s $430/year. In 18 months from purchase, I break even with the deal that I got. I think I had found the Intelliflo VF online for $1100. I asked San Dieguito Pool to price match the pump + installation ($200) + 3 years warranty. Minus the $200 SDGE rebate, I think my total cost was about $1100.
I highly recommend it. $1500 sounds a bit rich, though.
