I have two pumps, the main is variable speed and then I have a booster pump for cleaning.
I run the main 10 hours a day for the chlorine generator and it costs me about $35 to $40 a month in sparktricity (best guess). I keep a cover on the pool most of the time so I don't notice any increase in water $$.
If you are thinking about putting in a pool, don't do it.
Worst investment I ever made. I kept saying no for years, the wife and kids kept pressuring me.
I told them they'd use it for a year or two then lose interest, after that they'd only use it a couple times a year and I'd have to pay for it and maintain it.
They told me I was wrong, they'd use it all the time. I finally caved against my better judgement.
Guess who was right?
I should have put in one of those above ground pools, that way I could get rid of it after the novelty wore off.
