i just had a new house built in florida and while it was vacant, the electricity bill remained high. the AC was set to 80 and the pool pump set to 9 hours (chlorine generator).
when i returned, i noticed that when i turn on the pump, the electric meter moved almost 3x faster. when the pool was first built, there was blockage in the piping from construction debri. is it possible that the pool tech didn't completely clean it out and there is still some debri which is causing the pump to work harder? the pump is running rather hot (to the touch).
is there a way i can tell if there is still some blockage?
