How this is calculated
- ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure. We estimate the annual energy use ourselves, assuming 8 hours a day at its low-speed setting, every day of the year. Your use will differ, so treat the cost as a guide.
- Yearly cost = annual kWh × your rate. Monthly cost is the yearly cost divided by 12, a flat average. Five-year cost keeps the rate constant; prices will change.
- Statewide averages are not your utility’s tariff. Use your bill’s rate for a closer number.
- We do not estimate watts or hourly cost: the source data does not include them.

Frequently asked questions
How much electricity does the Waterco 243150A-VS use?
ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure, so we estimate about 479.2 kWh per year, assuming 8 hours a day at its low-speed setting, every day of the year. Your use will differ with the pool size, how many hours a day the pump runs and the months your pool is open.
How much does it cost to run?
At statewide average residential prices, the listed annual use costs about $60.95 in Nevada and $226.09 in Hawaii (EIA, 2026-08). Your own utility rate may be different; enter it in the calculator.
How does the Waterco 243150A-VS compare with similar models?
Among 169 ENERGY STAR certified in-ground (self-priming) pool filter pump models with a similar rated horsepower, it ranks 169th lowest in annual energy use. Its 479.2 kWh per year is 36% above the median of 352.8 kWh.
What does the weighted energy factor mean?
It is thousands of gallons of water moved per kWh across the pump's speeds, so a higher number means a lower running cost. This model is listed at 8.96 kgal/kWh.
