Solar?

[jeeman]

My pump is 1.5 HP, with a 1.5 service factor. Basically, I’m running over 2kw of usage running my pump. 5hours a day, 30 days a month, that’s 300kwh. At .25/kwh, that’s $75 just for the pool pump.

Look into getting a Pentair Intelliflo VF…you can run it at around 200-300 watts, about 90% less. You’ll run it longer, but still saves you money. Your ROI will be about 20-22 months. Then look into solar if this isn’t saving you enough money.

Mine is getting installed next week sometime. San Dieguito Pool is quoting me about $1600 installed. SDGE offers a $200 rebate for getting this pump.

I got the Pentair Intelliflo VS (which is cheaper than the VF) and it saves me a bundle on electricity bill, although I run it for 10 hrs/day. I’m paying less Trojan4Life for electricity.

With good leadership, solar energy can become the gift that keeps on giving, IMHO.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu and White House Council on Environmental Quality chairwoman Nancy Sutley announced Tuesday morning that the administration will install solar panels and a solar water heater on the roof of the White House residence as part of a broader Department of Energy demonstration project.

[quote=Zeitgeist]PIGGINGTON RETRACTION! Please accept my apology for blaming Brian for starting the dear leader thread.
AFX- You are right, I stand corrected. I did not read carefully enough. That’s what I get for having a public school education. However, you know what Brian did and why he did it. Brian has continued to throw foul petards since he started posting. He is politically incorrigible. I keep seeing one standard for Brian and his defenders and another for anyone who disagrees with them. I do not think he has an authentic interest in the topic. I think it was just another opportunity to get another Bush dig in. That makes you an accomplice to a political threadjack and a Brian enabler.[/quote]

Whining is very unmanly, Mr Rove.
