So, I was no longer worried about payback periods etc. Installed it was approx $1800, and I think I got a rebate from Edison.
That was two trouble free years ago. Not sure if this is what a VFD is, but it's been a no brainer.
And by my calcs I did save about $100 per month.

Not sure where you are in So Cal, but in San Diego, the new two tier rates are outrageous!
Up to 384 kWh, $0.19, beyond 384 kWh, $0.395, so I expect your savings are about right.
A 2hp Ecostar Pump can be bought for just under $1000. If you had a pool company install it, I would suspect your pricing is about right.
