How to estimate pool pump correctly
The 1100 W and 8 h/day values are an editable example, not a claim about every model. This appliance is best treated as continuous or recurring use.
What to verify
Flow setting, filter resistance and schedule dominate annual use. Variable-speed pumps can use far less power at lower flow.
Formula
Power (W) ÷ 1,000 × active hours × electricity rate. This example uses 8.8 kWh/day, 264 kWh/30 days and 3,212 kWh/year.
Accuracy limit
The calculator prices the values you enter. It cannot know thermostat cycles, power modes, losses, appliance condition or the exact tariff on your bill; verify those inputs for a decision.
