I've had a GenX40 running as a return pump now for over 5 years.
About 11 feet of head to the display from the basement.
Noticed my electric bill over the past year has been climbing considerably.
And not just cause they're gouging us. BTW isn't National grid prices suppose to lower?
Questions
1) Where can I get a plug in kilowatt hour tracking meter for appliances/pump? I tried Home Depot and they had no idea what I wanted.
2) Has anybody had a pump that seems to be working fine, but starts drawing excess power?
3) Can the impeller section be removed and cleaned on these pumps? Do you do this often if so?
I'm honestly thinking about losing the basement sump and go with a new DC style return pump under my tank to help save energy cost.
Less water volume would be easier to heat as well.
I simply can not afford to be paying nearly 1/2 a weeks pay to N.G., and without the ACs even installed yet.
