Thatâs 3 times as much water!! In NYC water costs $3.39 per 100 cubic feet. There are 748 gallons per 100 cubic feet, so one gallon of water costs $0.0045.
According to the EPA, the U.S. national average cost of water is $0.002 per gallon. So, multiplying 288 cycles, by 7.5 gallons per cycle, by a water cost of $0.002 per gallon, your cost to operate the pump would only be $4.32 during that 24 hour period. Keep in mind, this is an extreme example. In many cases your pump would run much less and your operational cost would be even lower.
