Hello all!
I have read several comments on here about the significant cost of running the boost pump cleaner vs the power consumption of an electric robot so I had been pondering switching out. I attempted to calculate the power consumption cost of running my boost pump and come up with about 8 cents/hour. It is a .75hp and, according to some online sources, that equals about .56 kWh. Not counting my service availability charge, my electric rate is 14.4 cents per kWh. Does 8 cents/hour to run my boost pump sound about right or am I missing something?
Thanks!
