The pump itself is rated at 260 watts but normally it doesnt pull the maximum amount. It could be due to the maner in which it was mounted during measurement that it gave such a high reading. I have never seen it as high as that and I have measured several whan they first came on the market.
Like I said in the other thread it isn't cheap for me to run. I did a recalculation and I came out at $456 a year on electricity costs. That is just the answer and doesn't include the UV, pump, skimmer pump, or the highblow air pump.
