To calculate the electricity required for the water pump, you can use the formula: Power (watts) = Voltage (volts) x Current (amps). In this case, the power requirement would be 230V x 8.70A = 2001 watts or approximately 2 kW. Operating the pump for an hour would consume 2 kWh of electricity.
Find the amperage that your pump motor operates on (should be on the motor nameplate) and multiply it by the voltage that the motor is connected to (120 or 240 volts). This will give you the wattage of the motor. It is usage of watts that the utility company bills you on. Find from your utility bill what you are charged per kilowatt hour. Take your pump wattage, times the amount of time that the pump runs, times the kilowatt rate you are charged by the utility company and the result will be how much it costs you to run the pump motor.
We have a 24' foot round above ground with 13000.00 gallons of water and that only requires a 1 hp pump a 2 hp pump may be overkill and cost more to operate
Depth to lower water level
Apart from anything else, it's necessary to know the rated votage of the pump!
No. At least a 2Hp pump here. Also be sure your filter is large enough to handle the flow rate. Yes it will, provided that you let it run long enough and your plumbing is not too convoluted and your filter is large enough. You only need to get 17GPM, if you run the pump 24 hours a day. Most 1HP pumps these days can easily do that, even with 60 feet of head. If you plan on running solar pannels on a roof, then you will need 2HP.
You can generate electricity with a 27KVA alternator, a big wheel, and a 2HP motor, but you will not be able to even come close to generating 27KVA. The best you could hope for is about 1KVA or so, because a 2HP motor can only do about 1.5KW of work, and efficiency and power factor losses will make the output be even less.
Each pump is different, but you should get somewhere about 6000 gph
A 2hp submersible pump typically has a power rating of 2 horsepower, allowing it to efficiently pump water from underground sources. It is designed to be submerged in water, making it suitable for applications such as well pumping and drainage. These pumps are usually made of durable materials like stainless steel and have a maximum flow rate and head pressure that can vary depending on the specific model.
well the motor will like it, it will run cool but the power bill will be high. it will not have the flow of a 2hp impeller
The magneto point gap on a 2hp Yamaha outboard is 0.35mm, or 0.014".
If you have replaced the pump with a bigger pump without changing the filtration it is to be expected that the pressure will go up because the pump is trying to push more water through the same area..
