Terms and Conditions

Centrifugal ( out of pond) pumps can be installed either above or below the water surface. Pumps that are not self primming will need to be installed below the water surface in a waterproof box or above the surface using a check valve to hold prime on the pump if the power goes out. Centrifugal pumps use high efficiency motors and cost more initally but will recover the purchase cost with energy savings.

The following formula can be used to determine the operating cost of any electrical motor; amps x volts x hours per day of opertion

1000 x cost per kilowatt hour (.09 cents national average)
