Numbers based on OUC's residential rate of $0.131/kWh and a typical 10-month pool season. Single-speed comparison assumes 1,800W × 10 hrs/day. Variable-speed pump modeled at the manufacturer's recommended schedule: 1,800 RPM × 10 hrs + 3,000 RPM × 2 hrs daily. No utility rebate is currently available in this area. Your actual savings will vary based on pool size, pump runtime, and current utility rates.
