is upgrading from my aqua clear 110 to this going to kick up the electric bill?

Not unless you are talking pennies. 8 watts an hour means that at an average 11 cents per kwh, it costs 8x24x30 (wattsxhours in a dayxdays in a month)=5760 watts÷1000 (watts per kwh= 5.76 kwh x 11 cents = 63 cents per month to run.

NoBut after I ordered this and opened the box to install it I found broken parts so it was shipped back.I then installed a Aqua clear 110 and I'm happy to report there is not any differences in the cleaning of one over the other. I thought there would be but none. It will also require more time to clean the canister so after seeing this I'm glad I settled with the 110.

I've used the eheim for over a year now. It's simply the best filter I've ever used. A hang on back filter isn't even in the same league. Super quite and works great. BUY IT!!!

Yes. Our pool is a similar size. Working well and we have saved $ on power costs.

Don't know, but I've used it an awful lot and have not noticed a significant increase in my electric bill.

I love this unit, requires two 220V inputs from power panel. I have two ECO Smart units and save $80 a month on my power bill.

Our electric bill increased less than$8/mo (run heater 8-9 hrs/day in our sunporch here in MI). Bear in mind we use the 1500 Edenpure. Recommend you use a 1500 - cost might be more, but it will pay for itself.

Definitely not! Our electric company will provide us with a special meter that can plug into ANY device, and it shows you how much energy is being used and at what cost. They should probably look into something like that in their state. But we did not see any significant increase like that. Sorry you are experiencing such an issue, because it really is a great product, and our son and daughter have both benefited from its use. Good luck!

Not at all, but this means you might not be getting enough juice to the unit. You need a 200 Amp panel, two heavy cables (6/2 and 6/3) running from the unit to the electric panel. And you need to have 2 upgraded breakers at the panel. Also, if you have a lot of electrical usage at any one time (dishwasher running, A/C cranking, TV, and all the lights on), this may strain the system a bit for the short time that you use hot water. And, it also depends on the model that you bought and if that model accommodates the house size and family that you have. I have not had any issues with this unit so far. Then again I live in FL and I never need the water to be all that hot. I keep the temperature setting at 117 degrees and that seems just right. However, I do need to install a descaling system to prevent any scale buildup inside the unit, because FL water is hard water. All part of my master plan. ;O)

Mitch: It's not an inverter-quality "clean." Plug all your sensitive electronics into anAPC/UPC battery-backup-surge-protector and you'll be good to go. Or go througha transfer switch to your building's main circuit panel.H--da has "clean" ones... ahem.... half-the-power and THREE-TIMESthe price... Your choice, but these are good units. Good Luck!

I wish I could help you with that but I'm not certain. I certainly haven't noticed a difference in my electric bill, and my son uses this fan every night. The one negative I have to say is that it was only used for a couple weeks before it started making a very annoying noise while oscillating. It has therefore only been used in a fixed position since. If you want a good oscillating fan, this may not be the one for you.

I have not noticed any increase in my electric bill. The fan is used primarily in a bedroom on the medium setting. It works great!

Hi Mac. Not that I can tell. I can only assume that is hasn't, or, is costing less. I have not seen a jump in my power bill. The way this Whynter runs compared to the LG I had before tells me it draws less juice. Sorry I can't be more help then that.

I haven`t used it that often but its doing a wonderful job. I`ll let you know how the electric bill works out. I`m not really sure if its the same as the one at Meijers, make sure you check out its credentials first.

It's the electricity that needs to be upgraded. You need an electrician more. Plumber is handy but exactly needed.

I think you may have to write to the manufacturer to find that out, but I can tell you that I have had this for several months and haven't noticed any difference in my water bill. Also, ITS AMAZING. The size just lets the water hit you everywhere instead of just on your back, or just on your shoulders. And if you turn off the lights and just let the LED's on, its like being in a spa. If you're thinking about buying it...doooooo it!!!

You could I guess, but I think you can find the same light in 110 though. I just looked at the light I had in the pool before and got the 12 so I could put it in and be done, as not to have to rewire or anything. I'm not the maker/seller nor am I a licensed electrician, but if you want/need to go the transformer route I don't see an issue

Very little. We live in a total electric home and noticed little change in our cost. Very efficient, also.
