Pump Up Summer Energy Savings - Pond Pumps that is!- CLICK HERE!

Simple maintenance helps your water garden pump operate at peak efficiency and helps you control energy costs. Skim your pond regularly to keep leaves and large debris from clogging the pump.

When debris does accumulate, be sure to clean the pump's pre-filter at the first sign of reduced water flow. Consider purchasing a pump like ClearChoice, which has Mechanical pre-filter sponges that remove suspended debris to improve water clarity. Choosing the right pump and maintaining it properly can ensure reasonable energy costs for every pond owner.

Starting with you!

Calculating Your Monthly Energy Cost

So, just how much does it cost to run your pump? Here are a couple of quick calculations to help you estimate your monthly cost.

Multiply the pump's wattage by .024 to convert to kilowatts.

Multiply that number by the amount you pay per kilowatt hour (you'll find this number on your electric bill, or you can use the national average of $0.0898 per kilowatt hour).

Multiply that number by 30 (days).

The final result is the monthly energy cost for your pump.

If you're paying more than $30 a month, you may want to consider switching to a different pump that's designed for continuous use and energy efficiency.

The Cal Torpedo Pond Pump is energy efficient. It is lightweight, water cooled, uses no oil and can be used in or out of water. Its high volume water flow and low energy consumption makes it the most unique pond pump available, and it requires no tools for installation.
