Hello Joddle
My pool pump runs from midnight to 8 a.m. in one go. I've always done that and have done well with it.

That is very interesting and many thanks - that certainly would be the cheapest now.... May well give it a whirl

The period of when it is cheapest will depend on what sort of tariff you are on.
There are a number of different tariffs and not all is as clear and simple, because Spain!

We understand the following applies to us:
peak rate about 13.3 cents per kwh.
Mid-rate is 4.2 cents and
off-peak just 0.6 of a cent per kwh.

The high peaks apply M-F from 10am to 2pm then again from 6pm to 10pm. The mid price from 8am to 10am then 2pm to 6 pm then 10pm to midnight. The rest is all low tariff as are all weekends
