What is your current pump pressure?

How high above/below is the pump relative to the water level ?

How far is it from the pump to the pool?

What do you pay in electrical costs $/kwh

Does your energy company offer any rebates for VS or two speed pumps?
I run it for 4 hours every night (per the direction of a friend that is a pool guy).

When the DE is fresh it is at 10-12 psi.

The pump sits on grade level. So i would say just a few inches, 8" tops.

The pump is 20'-22' away from the pool.

We have 3 rates, but since I run it at midnight it is $0.103500/kwh.

They do offer a rebate, $200.
