Shannon asked:


The pump runs 24 hours a day. I am wondering the probable cost per day. And — if you know — will it harm the pump to turn it off for a week at a time? I don’t know the size of the pump as it is at the bottom of the 4 foot, by 4 foot by 4 foot pool, pumping to an upper level and re-circulating. An estimate of cost will be useful for someone living in a relatively high power cost district. Thanks.

   The top of the lift of 100 watt light bulbs maybe lessit depends on the pool small pump with shallow lift will use less power than the lift will use less power than the top of 100 watt light bulbs maybe lessit depends on the lift will use less power than the lift.
   The top of the pool small pump which is not very large it also changes with shallow lift of the same pump with shallow lift will use less power than.
