Return Pump

[outy]

While it seems obvious there are more energy efficient pumps than the MAG12 I already have, my own experience in running one has been positive from strictly a reliability issue. .

They have been a great pump, my 9.5 has to be getting close to 15 years old and was used almost a decade as a basement pump.


I was just showing you how much cash you could save if you went DC.


I need reliability and have a Iwaki for backup if needed, so it doesn't do me any harm in using a return pump that pulls 55W instead of 160.

Or is 9.8 on average at 10 kwh the yearly rate is $96 your math is off

jebao is only $39

You seriously like telling people they are wrong.

I plugged the watts in to my power company website which has a calculator. I trust them in calculating their own rates over your unsourced data.

You. I trust them in calculating their own rates over your unsourced data.

I don't like dishonest people. What are OP's rates?

Electricity Local? That's your source?

Brutal....

In that case you may actually recoup your costs quickly. Our is around 7 cents average. Ours is tiered by usage.
