O.K. 1,000 watts in a kwh. One hp motor draws 746 watts per hour. Can you take it from here?
Is that supposed to be funny?
One hp - $1.97/day running 24 hr straight Yep. If you couldn't do the math, look at the last line. That's based on using your KWH costs.
I hava a buddy that has a hard time counting to 10 by using his fingers (and thumbs) but he's a mechanical genius, and I have another buddy who is a genius (by IQ rating) that can't figure out what end of a screwdriver to hold.
Scot,
I'm really flattered that you would call me a genius but you really didn't have to tell them about the screwdriver thing.
Just kidding of course. I could only dream to have a high I.Q. other than that Internet test.
For what it's worth when I pumped 45 gpms 24/7 into the trout pond it cost me about $100.00 per month. I sold some of the trout for that much so it wasn't a problem financially.
I was really surprised that I could drop my .62 acre pond this fall an inch a day with a sump pump in a bucket rated at 70 gpm zero head. I needed to drop it a couple of feet for seining.
