Why has my electric bill significantly increased since I installed my pool?

• Electric rates have substantially increased over the past few years.  Ensure the time clock or automated control is correctly set.  Eight to ten hours a day is a good benchmark for circulation time, however, this will vary depending on the size of the pool and the horsepower of the pump.  Consult a Licensed Pool Contractor for the recommended filter time for your specific pool.
• As motors ages, their efficiency decreases.
