How much power does my pool pump burn? How much does it cost to run?

Dale Kreviazuk

Depending on the size of your pool pump, it will burn between 1,000 and 1,600 watts per day. This equates to $2.50-$3.50 per day in Winnipeg if ran 24/7, with our current hydro utility rate. Our recommendation is to use the smallest pump possible for your pool, or to invest in a variable speed pump. These pumps only cost about $0.50-$0.75 per day to run.
