Re: Electric bill - I guess it's actually 350 to 400 level pay year round. 3000 sq feet, 2 refers, pool, 3 kids, stay-at-home CPA wife who works out of the house. Updated to state of the art windows and high seer multi zone A/C is what got us down from 600 month.

Sorry, from the picture it didn't look that big. 45000 gallon a 1-2HP system would be indicated.
How much run time for your pump? I run mine about 12 hours a day, which really is more than needed for filtration. I use mine to circulate during the day for algea prevention. I expect you could get away with less. And using a mini-VFD on the pump, you could run it at 1/3rd speed for most of the time, and then at full bore when in the pool.
OTOH, I like the idea of multiple pumps, in case one fails. I was able to run my system on the "Booster" pump until I could get a warranty replacement.
