VERTICAL FLOAT SUMP PUMP

About 700/600/450 Watts for 3700/3300/3000 GPH.

1/4 HP, 115 Volt Submersible Water Pump ($54.99 without coupon or paying for warranty)

300 Watts for 1400 GPH. This should be half that.

Why spend the extra money for a more efficient model that ALREADY comes with a warranty (not to mention we shouldn't be buying more stuff from China, but that's for the sump...)

150 Watts extra, right?

0.150 kW x 24 Hours/Day x (30 Days) = 108 kWh per month

108 kWh x ($0.12/kWh) = $12.96 ~~ about $13 a month. Assuming a better model costs twice as much and it comes with a warranty for that price, you will make up the difference in 2-3 months (don't forget you have to pay for HF warranty). After that 2-3 months you will save $13 a month. Let's not forget the GAS it costs to get to the store versus buying a better model online.
