Hrmz, actually has anyone really caculated how much it takes to run a chiller monthly on the presumption it runs 24hrs a day? Im bad at electrical stuff.... :pinch:

it will depends on the ambient temp, if ur ambient temp is higher, water temp will increase as well, the chiller will then cut in more frequent and longer period....... 1 hp is ard 700w, u can roughly gauge ur electricity consumption from there....
