Yep. I was wondering why our summer bills were $400, for a few years.
I need to remove my pressure side pump. There is a guy who diverts water from his VS pump to the pressure side cleaner. He counted the revolutions on the wheels and adjusted his pump speed to get it correct. I believe you also remove the orifice. My other option is to replace with a pool robot cleaner. The electric savings would pay for it in about 10 years...
2 hours of my pool cleaner pump = 24 hours of my VS pump, in energy usage.
