I am installing an inground pool. the contractor is doing the basic
wiring
bonding etc....The filter and control panel can be wired 220,
but pool guy says
110 is ok. The real electrician says he thinks it
should be 220....case closed
in my mind, but he said it could be done
110, but it will reduce my electric
bill if it is 220. Does anyone have
an opinion...am I saving pennies or dollars
if I go 220....thx

220 wiring can be thinner cable. electric bill will be the same, energy
used.

For single phase motors, if it draws 10 amps @120 volts, it draws 5 amps @
240. The circuit breaker will cost a whole lot more for 240 volt (GFCI), but
I'd go with the higher voltage to keep the pool service more evenly divided

I'm not sure what your point is. Mine is that there is no difference in
electrical consumption
