      You need to figure for power factor...

      For motors it's .7, it has something to do with the phases being out of sync. This is what your meter will read.

      Watts x Pf x time / 1000 = KWH

      Now the circuitry hasn't been factored in either. I'm sure it isn't much but it all adds up. Still a very efficient unit for what it accomplishes. The pump size needed to run one of the screen/vortex ones will use more power 24/7.

      Koiboy,
      I don't recommend it, just pointing out that it's not difficult to find one if you really want one.

      Sorry for the confusion

      Nicco,
      Did not mean to confuse what you were saying, Steve.
