What Are My Power Usage Going To Be?Power Usage For Above Ground Pool Pumps

The Short Answer is a 1hp pump is going to cost you 37.5 cents an hour to run.

Here's the math:

Amps x Volts = Watts

1 HP Pump at 110v uses 14 amps at 220v 7 Amps

1540 Watts or 1.5 Kilowatt Hours  Each Kilowatt will cost 25 cents.

We recommend running your filter about 4 hour a day 

total daily cost to run your filter $1.50

or $45.00 per month

note: these figures were related to us by an electrical worker at Edison (a So CAL utility company) and are based on ABOVE baseline kilowatt costs.
