Re: New Pool Owner... New Pump vs New Motor
Okay... Here is some of what you asked for...
Pipe size is 2". Sand filter. Everything is in good working condition.
There are no other features. It's a pretty plain set up. One suction port and one discharge.
I have been running the pump 8 hours per day. I'm basing this off of a book I purchased on pool maintenance. There were no calculations in the book, it just said that running the pump for 8 hours a day is a good rule of thumb.
The only control system I have is a mechanical timer. I have it running from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm. I am up against the mountains in salt lake city, so we don't get direct sunlight until the sun peeks over the ridge around 8:30 am in the summer.
I'm looking for my electric bill to give you a rate, but I should mention that the $350 electric bill was not only for the pool. It is for the whole house. I pay about $100-150 a month without the pool.
Some other things that you didn't ask for that might help...
The pump is a jacuzzi magnum force pump. Production date: July 1999.
The pump body (not the motor) says model: 2umf-s order number: 94027120
The motor says... Magnetek part number: 10-184950-22.
Hope this helps... Thanks again for the advice!
