    Hydro Consumption Through the Roof...
    Any good books out there on Conserving Hydro Consumption in the Home? The latest Monthly Hydro Bill Knocked the Socks Off.. Yes we use Timers and Power Bars and all that stuff and have a Pool Pump going in Season ( on a Timer running Off Peak ).. Hydro has an Appliance Calculator and Time Of Use program, but their Tech People can't DeBug the System.. Imagine a large corporation and one continually gets a message back " Sorry , unable to access please try again later "

Last season with the long stretch of killer heat the water was evaporating more than usual from the pool so again we were having to top up...

    Is the bill for electricity, you are on a well. Figure out your KWH and multiply by KWH cost. Sounds like you run motors and they can run up a lot of KWH.
