Amperage Draw for Hayward AquaRite 940 T-15-Cell

[JSpicuzzi]

I am trying to understand that amp draw for a 240V connection. The documentation seems to indicate 3.1 to 8 amps. That's a big swing. Any information is appreciated. Some info about my pool.
- approximately 29,000 gallons
-vinyl lined 32x17 4 foot shallow end, 9 foot deep end
-Hayward 1HP pump, Hayward Heater
At a minimum, I would need a 40,000 T-15-Cell...maybe the 60,000 if I go 2x the pool gallons

You're best off with a 60k cell

The input amperage at 240 volts is less than 1 amp.

The low voltage going to the cell will be about 6 to 7.5 amps for a T-15 cell.

 

[JamesW]

The power used is less than 200 watts.

The power used is the same, but the volts and amps are different.

On the 240 volt primary side of the transformer, the amperage is 180 watts/240 volts = 0.75 amps.

On the low voltage side, the amperage is 180 watts/25 volts = 7.5 amps.
