 Choosing the right water pump
for your pond can make all of the difference in the world. Just because a pump may
cost less to buy, it is not always the way to go.
The most important thing
to remember is the electrical usage when looking for a water pump for your pond.
In order to maintain a healthy environment for your fish pond or
water garden, you MUST run your water pump through your filter 24 hours a day, 7
days a week in season.
So it is important to pick the right water
pump for your fish pond or water garden. Water pumps have variances in
electrical usage and electrical costs.
The following formula will assist
you in determining how much you will spend (approximately) per month to run the pump
you select.
Formula:
- Amps x Volts = Watts
- Watts x 744 and divide by 1000 = KWH per month
We have also provided a useful Pump Cost Calculator to
help you in planning for your pump.
