That is some pretty cheap electricity.

900Kwh comes out to about $128.00 here.

Energy efficient three phase pumps running on single phase thru an Inverter/VFD will have a quick payback.

I remember in 04' when electric cost made a huge jump around here. I had a 15,500 sq ft shop full of equipment running all the time, and my sisters household electric bills were about the same as mine. Difference is, we were more energy efficient utilizing 3 phase.
