Hey GW..... I vacuum/clean them every couple of months.... they aren't but 15 months old ... I have not swapped out the nano-filters... they have cleaned nicely..... the small carbon and other front filter(s) look great too .

So,... 2kW over 10 hours or so would all but use up the 27kW (2)Powerwalls right ?

OK,... Here we go..... Ran EVERYTHING last night except the Mini Splits . 8:00pm - 7:00am @ 46F . Took the Mobile App data (130) 5-min entries, totaled them and divided by 130, giving me the average kW's as 0.436923 kW per hour, for those 11 hours. Take the average and multiply * 11...

Home is 24' x 40' with open loft and open living area supported by (2) splits; (2) 10'x7' Br's below the loft, each with their own split . ALL set to 68F.

Hey Electrph,... the filters are inline between the pump/well and the standard expansion tank. There are 2 tanks, RainSoft EC4 Technology which feed the water thru the RainSoft UV device (S8Q-PA-R). There is a scheduled "backflush" process the filter beds go thru every Wednesday which takes...

Hey Charlesj, The water pump is from Deep Well (country boy here) and I never turn that off. I just posted that usage below which is nothing for the 1 minute period it would run... There should all but NEVER be a need for that to turn on thru the night unless I had some sort of water leak .

No... actually turned off the Branch Box and the main Mitsubishi breaker at 10:00pm ... The short spike at Midnight for 15min. (per graph data), were basically still below 1kW . I just don't know what that would have been unless the Fridge turned on for that 15min maybe ? It would not have...

Hey JJ... I'm just trying to see which devices are the "drivers" of our overnight usage by turning on for that test period of time overnight. Like, tonight , I'm planning on adding my Water Heater to the mix and see total usage when that's on for the time, then Freezer Chest next night, Garage...

I'm learning :-) What is SoC ? I was not awake, so if it takes monitoring then I did not. Oh.. and do the Powerwalls use energy just sitting there ?

OK.. here we go after last night's first test... Start Time = 10:30pm Eastern, 46deg. End Time = 6:30am Eastern, 48deg. Devices Running = Water Pump Water Filter with UV Light Inside House Fridge Supporting Graph(s) and Mobile App...

Thanks Aesculus, I'm currently scheduled to turn ALL OFF except for my Water Pump and Water Filter system tonight. I will capture that Grid usage since Solar and Battery are already dark and I will set up for Backup only. I am trying to see how each device shows kW's used / added to the total...

I just meant most efficient of any Heat Pump devices out there, particularly for Split unit types I guess ... :-)

Well dang... and we were sold that the Mini's were the most energy efficient devices on the market, including we purchased that "Hyper Heat" add-on, that guarantees the efficiencies down to -6 deg !! These will be our next to last test with that ancient fridge as the last :-)

Thanks Vines... looking forward to all this :-)

You guys and gals are AWESOME !! Thanks so much... I'll respond here to everyone's analysis :-) NOTE: I misquoted in the original post... I didn't turn off ALL energy consuming devices !! I turned of ALL lights, oven, washer, dryer, pc's, clocks, with exception to the devices...

Hello all ! I am new to this forum group and randomly picked jboy210 as the "participant", hope that's ok ? I am new to Solar Energy coupled with (2) Tesla Powerwall 2 battery backups . I'm not an electrician but I'm trying to understand the Powerwall 2's energy usages. I am experiencing poor...

Hi ! I am new to this forum and posted a memo to member jboy210 , not knowing what I was supposed to do to create a post when it asked me to supply " A Participant " ? Anyway... I posted a learning question for me to this site, hoping I'm in the right place :-)
