While I loved the idea of going Green and using less electricity, in reality it falls apart. We have a Hayward salt system and Solar on our pool and in order to push that much water up to the roof to warm the pool the pump has to run at 85 - 100%. Our old pump was 2HP and worked great but at 100% on the Tristar you are running 2.7HP so we are probably using more energy to do the same work our 2HP pump did. I have tried it at 85% but it doesn't appear to be able to pass enough water through the Solar to really warm the pool as fast as the old pump, so 100% for eight hours is required until the pool is warm enough. I live in Vegas so by July the pool is typically very pleasant without solar. Guess I will save my money after that. Your mileage may vary - maybe our piping is not great but the pool is only seven years old - but to save money you need to run at 35 - 45% and that simply wont push the water.
Bottom line - if you don't have Solar and/or don't have a salt system, go for it. If you do, don't believe the salesman. I must have asked four times if 45% of 2.7HP was enough to run the solar and always got a "yes sir". On the plus side, it is VERY quiet (only reason I gave it 2 stars).

After realizing how much electricity my swimming pool pump was using,I started seeing about replacing it with a more efficient one. I decided on the Pentair Intelliflo 011013 and had it installed almost 2 months ago. I have been very pleased with it and according to my calculations,my electricity usage has decreased about 20 kWh/day,which in our area is about $2.20,or about $65.00/month in the swimming season.It is very quiet. I run my pump about 16 hours/day during the season and 8-10 hours/day in the off-season. Of course it will take a while to pay for itself,but so far I'm happy.
