- Determine the wattage of the pump
- Determine the rate of the kilowatt per hour (kWh) from the electrical provider for the area
- Calculate the monthly cost of operating the pump
- Watts X 24 (hours the pump operates at) / 1000 = Total kWh per day
- Daily cost: kWh per day X Cost per kWh = Cost per day
- Monthly cost: Cost per day X 30.4 days per month = Monthly cost to operate pump
Example:
- AquaSurge 2000 operates at 160 watts
- The rate per kilowatt per hour (kWh) for the area is $0.14/kWh
- 160 watts X 24 / 1000 = 3.84 kWh per day
- 3.84 kWh per day X $0.14 per kWh = $0.54
- $0.54 per day X 30.4 = $16.42 monthly cost to operate the AquaSurge 2000
