Volts x amps = Watts
230v (my pump) x 2.6 amps (my pump on lo speed) = 598watts
[I have a hayward 1 hp dual speed super pump]
598w/1000 = .598kw
kw x hours run pump = kwh
.598 x 24hrs = 14.352
14.352 x (electricty cost)
14.352 x .1354 (Simple google search tells you average cost of my company)
[The average electricity rate for Rochester Gas and Electric customers is 13.54 cents/kWh.]
14.352 x.1354 = $1.94/day
$2 day at 24 hours / $1 a day at 24 hours
This make sense???
That math works perfectly! I tend to break it down into hours so I know what the cost is for running the pump for X hours a day.
I hope you aren’t running it 24 hours a day…
Guilty as charged…but when we come back from vacation, I’m willing to drop it down a bit…I’m not as brave and confident as you…
I can’t imagine running on only 4 hours a day…$2 gives me a piece of mind, but wife wants to drop it down…im fine with giving it a try to no pump overnight…
Averaging 26 fl. oz of 10% chlorine a day thus far…Sunday’s pool party in the 90s with 10+ swimmers will skew the numbers, but interesting to see how much we go through…
