electrical bill

[letdoit]

i have 3x150W MH (total)

2x150W go to fresh water, 5hrs

1x150W go to marine tank, 6 hrs

2 chiller, = Resun CL650 and Teco 10

Resun Cl650 go to marine , 180L

Teco CL 10 , go to Freshwater tank, 340 L

my bills now is abt S$190 per mths

i don't know is it cause by teco 10, because teco is cooling 340L of my tank. is it under power? cause chiller run longer hrs?

teco 10 is for 200L to 500L. by right no problem.

it run ave 25 min to cut out. too long?

Running 25min is not bad at all... mine runs for an hour, but stop for 2. How often yours kick in? Coz the more often they kicks-in the more electricity they consume. Perhaps you are using an incompatible pump.

Resun CL650 cut in and out fast. running abt 10 min, rest 15 min

Teco run 25 to 30 min but rest 30 to 50 min ( depend light on/off)

teco rest longer because only 1 canister pump. That all. (from canister pump flow to chiller then to main tank.

for Marine tank, there are skimmer pump, chiller pump, and Sump to tank pump.

got a bit pressure, bills getting higher

yr cl650 cut in too often already

going to suffer alot of wear and tear. not to mention chiller draws alot of power when kicking in

either set your temperature lower or increase the flow through the chiller

i suggest the 2nd method. try sth like 2000L/hr

so far so good for me

How much increase? $190 per month not a lot. I think PUB charge based on estimation so may get double whammy if sudden increase in usage..

[mansiz]

$190 is considered low already. But still have to depend on whether how big is your house, your family size. My family size is 4, 4-room flat, with resun cl450 and a 250 watt MH, monthly electrical bill is slightly over $200.

[acidjazz]

i think $190 is an estimation. .

example: my monthly bill for a few months is approx $350. . then suddenly last month it was $550. . .

so ur $190 electrical bill might not be accurate.

best take a few months.. say 3-4 months and take the average.

My chiller kick in 12 hrs a day at 1 hr interval!
