POND FILTRATION
ENERGY COST
How much does it cost to run our
pond filtration system?
Studies have shown the powerful effects that owning a
pond has on our mental health and wellness, but
with households facing a substantial rise in energy bills
this winter it’s no wonder that someone wanting to
start in the Koi hobby might feel worried about the
energy cost of running a pond filtration system.
Awareness of how much energy your appliances use in
your home is a good starting point.
According to a post published in the ¹Mirror some of
your home appliances could cost you as much as
£13 a day to use.
Calculated at an electricity rate
of 28.00 pence per kWh
