estimating pond pump electric cost?
I need a hand figuring out how much it will cost me per month to run a 3/4 hp pond pump.It is 10 amps,115v.
The way I know of to figure out how much something costs to operate per month is:
* Amps x Volts = Watts
* Watts x 744 and divide by 1000 = KWH per month
* KWH per month x Cost per KWH = Cost per month
whenever I do that I get about $150 a month just to operate that pump......that doesn't seem right at all,thats about as much as my whole electric bill is now and I have a 250 gallon aquarium.
Is that pump a power hungry beast that will indeed cost $150 a month to run or am I figuring it wrong?
thank you in advance for your time.
Your assumption is that the pump is running continuously.
If that is the case, then at 10 amps you will be consuming:
10A x 115V x 744 hours/month รท 1000 = 856 kWh / month
(Note: We have neglected power factor for the purposes of this answer)
A 3/4 HP motor is pretty big. These numbers seem reasonable.
Below is a link to the Kill-a-Watt device that you can plug equipment into to measure the electric consumption. The second link is offering it for only $19.49.
