Pumps by Brand

Everyone wants a pond pump that will perform well for them, and at the same time not cost too much to operate.

Remember:

The 1st commandment of pond water pumps is amps (amperage) equals money down the drain!

	Higher amps means more money down the drain,
	Lower amps means saving more money.
	Amps x $100 = the cost per year (at a kilowatt-hour cost of $0.10) to run a pump.
	Amps x $500 = the cost per 5 years to run a pump.
	Amps x $1,000 = the cost per 10 years.

The 2nd commandment is if you are not using a Money Saver Pump™ you are spending 5 to 10 times more than you need to!

With a Money Saver Pump™ you dial your savings.

If you can save $ thousands of dollars per year by switching to a Money Saver Pump™, when would be the best time to switch?

What determines the performance of a pump?

The amount of water it will move through the pump head resistance in your pond

This is a function of the Horsepower of the pump

The revolutions per minute (RPM) of the pump

	The higher the RPM the higher the flow
	The higher the RPM the higher the pump head the pump will overcome
	The higher the RPM the greater the horsepower

The size and design of the impeller in the pump

	Diameter of the impeller
	Size, number, and design of the impeller blades

What affects the initial purchase price of a motor? How about the operating cost of a motor? Would you believe that many elements that increase the initial purchase price, actually reduce the operating cost. For instance:

	The size of the wire in the motor winding
	The amount of copper in the wire
	More iron in the rotating elements
	A Precision air gap between the stator and rotor
	Premium anti-friction bearings
	Low loss cooling fan design
	Better rotor construction

The operating cost of a motor-pump combination is the cost of electricity that the pump uses.

	Remember the amps x voltage gives you the watts.
	So if your pump draws 10 amps at 115 volts, you are using 1,150 watts per hour, and if you are paying $0.10 (10 cents) per kilowatt-hour it is costing you $0.115 per hour, or $2.76 per day, which is $85.56 per month, and $1,007.40 per year.

How much would you save over 5 years if you could reduce the amps from 10 to 2.6? Would you believe $3,727.38? How much more would you save if you ran the pump at an average 65% of its design speed? You would save another $458.37 for a total of $4,185.75; an annual operating cost of $170.25? How much more would you be willing to pay for a pump that could save you $4,185.75?

The following table shows the amps the more popular pumps draw as a function of horsepower.
