FYI Pump Costs

16 years ago

Just to stick back on some shelf somewhere. At a cost of .10 cents per KWH these pumps are as follows. Taken from the Barbel Review from the Dallas Koi Kichi Club Feb 2007.

Model Price Power use (watts) Monthly cost

Sequence

7504200SEQ12 $ 290 180 $ 18

Performance Pro

Cascade 1/8 - 36 $ 373 186 $ 18

Wave 1, 1/8 hp $ 439 215 $ 21

WhiteWater 14P $ 580 374 $ 37

Wunderflo 1/4 hp $ 580 350 $ 35

Performance Pro

Artesian 1/4 Â 49 $ 580 320 $ 32

Here are the formulas to work out energy costs for yourself:

(1) Amps x Volts = Watts; (2) Watts x 744 divided by 1000

= kWh/month; (3) kWh/month x $ per kWh (see your cost

on your electric bill) = $$$ per month.

I bought one of these just for that purpose. It has come in handy on many other things as well.
