Mr. Marote —'Yes, I believe these VFDs can service 10hp to a 1500hp pools. The units must be designed <br />to accommodate the size/volume/pump, etc. of the pool. <br />Mr. Sewake — Is the pool at Pahoa set up at 90%? <br />Mr. Marote — No, it's running at full load. <br />Mr. Matsunami - The amp on the old pump is running the same right now which is at about 100+ amps. <br />Ms. Sako — This is the reason I asked if we're replacing the Pahoa pool with the Eco-Flow brand. <br />Ms. Kekai — Where did the $12,000 VFD get installed at? <br />Mr. Marote — The KCAC pool. <br />Ms. Sako — Smaller pools should be cheaper. <br />Mr. Sewake — Seems like the Eco-Flow is easier to deal with. <br />Mr. Matsunami — The installation of the VFD in Pahoa took almost 2 weeks to be completed by the <br />company's representative. <br />Mr. Marote — We read the instruction manual, and it took us 2-3 days to install the Eco-Flow VFD. <br />Manual. <br />Ms. Yeekley — Does your staff program all the pools? <br />Mr. Marote — Our staff of three (3) does the programming of all the pools island -wide. <br />Ms. Yeckley — Makes sense to me that you're trained on this one system. <br />Mr. Nagata — Looking ahead, does this system allow for remote access, something like SCADA or <br />connecting to the internet where you can monitor or program it? <br />Ms. Sako — Not all our facilities are connected to the internet. We have 310 facilities of which many are in <br />remote areas. Perhaps eventually that can happen. <br />Mr. Marote — We are working on internet connection for the Recreation section with the IT department. <br />We did have a chlorination system unit that we had to program as well, and the unit had the capability to <br />connect to the internet, but we didn't have telephone lines to hook it up. <br />Mr. Kekai — What is the useful life on these units? <br />Mr. Marote — Not sure, so far we've had no problems. Probably a 10- or 20-year window. <br />Ms. Sako — Looks like it pays for itself in less than a year. <br />Mr. Sewake — We received a $10,000 energy rebate for that unit. <br />Ms. Sako — In summary, we save money, it's easy to use and the staff can manage the units. <br />
