Have you considered a two speed pump? The low speed will save you even more. Even with doubling the turnover for low speed, you will still save ~30% in energy costs over the 1 speed pump. The extra $100 for the 2 speed would be paid off in a few months.

Thanks.

Yes, both have 115v motors.

I currently run my pump 24/7, so I'm getting 4 turnovers a day. I could cut my use by 50% going to 12 hours

I'd really like to try doing so, but I'm having the most trouble free year ever since owning the pool, and am afraid to fix it if it ain't broke.

Even though my pump is AG, I'll use it until it dies, as it's doing a fine job on my pool. Just trying to be prepared for that day, cause, you never know
