Pond Pump Running Cost Calculator

Pond Pump Running Cost Formula

The formula to calculate the pond pump running cost is:

\[ \text{PPRC} = P \times T \times EC \]

Where:

• PPRC is the Pond Pump Running Cost per day ($)
• P is the power consumption of the pump (kW)
• T is the average time per day the pump runs (hr)
• EC is the electricity cost ($/kWh)

To calculate the pond pump running cost, multiply the power consumption by the time used, and then multiply the result by the electricity cost.

Example Calculation

If your pond pump uses 0.75 kW, runs for 8 hours a day, and your electricity rate is $0.12 per kWh, the calculation would be:

\[ \text{Daily Cost} = 0.75 \times 8 \times 0.12 = 0.72 \text{ dollars per day} \]

\[ \text{Monthly Cost} = 0.72 \times 30 = 21.60 \text{ dollars} \]

\[ \text{Yearly Cost} = 0.72 \times 365 = 262.80 \text{ dollars} \]
