Water tank pumps are quite efficient and don’t use much power to operate.

Example 1 – water pump for all household water requirements

For example, sample measurements from a pump operating for the Surrey Hills house supplying all water needs in August 2008 were:

Hours297
Days12.375
kWh2.8646
kWh/h0.009645118
kWh/day0.231482828

Example 2 – water pump trial for garden watering

This trial was conducted with a water pump used to water a garden, also in Surrey Hills, Victoria. The pump was run for 20 minutes, the volume pumped and the electric energy used were both measured.

Volume pumped – litres608
Energy used – kWh0.35
Water usage per day (2 person household) – litres122
kWh/day0.070
