HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY DOES A BOREHOLE PUMP USE?

A borehole is the way to go these days.  It gives you water security which is invaluable with all the council water leaks we deal with on a regular basis.  In addition, it also helps you save money on your water bill.  That’s a real benefit in these times when so many people are taking strain financially and we’ve just seen an increase again on our rates bill! When it comes to drilling a borehole the question may have crossed your mind “How much electricity does a borehole pump use?” Read on!

The amount of electricity a borehole pump uses depends on the size of the submersible pump that is installed.  As a general rule of thumb though, a small pump used for normal use (ie: less than 20m³ per day) will not be costly to run.

Now that we’ve looked at how much electricity a borehole pump uses let’s take a look at the benefits of a borehole.
