Electrical costs for my pool

[mas985]

my electric meter gives the reading for KWhrs but I have so much stuff going on generally it wouldn't be very practical to try and shut everything down and monitor the pool pump or AC. Currently we are using about 100 KWhrs a day, my last electric bill was $811 a personal record

Thats why you measure it with the pump on and then off and take the difference. That way it does not matter how much stuff you have on.

OK. So I've added Power Factor to my spreadsheet as a changeable parameter. This is probably pretty close, and I'll try to get out and count the meter spins to verify soon.

The Intelliflo provides actual flow and watts consumed data to produce that flow . So if you have a restrictive system the flow per watt is lower. If I could figure out a way to have enough back pressure to run the Trio Pure and cleaner and keep the flow low I could clean my pool on 440 watts hr x 14 hrs a day. or 6.1 total amps a day.

The cool aspect is the pump will calculate the optimal flow per # of turn over per day for you if you do not use preset flow rates.
