WOW!!! Filter run time and electric cost.

I would say your lights play a big role in the jump. Pre new pool, my electric bill in So. Cal was around $90 (no A/C/Heat). After the pool, it's now around $180. BUT, I have a 2 HP pump and run it 7 hours a day. The first month, I did run the water features and lights quite a bit, and that bill was $250. That's why I think your lighting is contributing quite a bit to your bill.

Stosh,

Thanks for the post, I am glad to hear that your bill went down. I am hoping that shutting the lights down will make a big difference. The electtric company said my big problem was that I exceeded 2 baselines which sent the costs through the roof.......We will swim in the dark....LOL
