Watts is how much power it draws. A watt is the voltage of the motor times the amount of amps it draws. What you pay for from the electric company are killowatt/hours. Your mag 9.5 running for one hour would draw .093 kwh of electricity. So over a 24 hr period it draws 2.23 kwh.
If you wanted to figure out how much electricity your tank was drawing you would take the watts of each piece of equipment and divide it by 1000 to get killowatts. Then you would multiply the killowatts by the number of hours everyday that said eqipment was running. Once you add up all your equipment you would have a daily draw for your tank. You could then multiply it by 30 to get monthly draws if you wanted too. HTH.

Close.
1 KW(Killowatt)=1000 w (watts)
So 93w=.093KW (93/1000)
.093KWx24hrx31=98.022kwh (killowatt hours)
Electric company rate per kwh x 98.022 = cost per month to run this pump.
As a little bit of clarification. The pump draws 93w weather it runs for 6 days or 2 min. However we buy killowatt hours from the power company. 1 kwh=1kw of electricity being used for one hours time. Watts is simply a measure of the energy that it takes to run the pump. You have to add in time to the equation in order to have a way to quantify the amount of electricity being used.

Well if 1 kwh=1kw then mathimatically The pump draws 93w weather it runs for 6 days or 2 min. Doesn't matter.
That means that that friggen mag 9 is 10% of my electricity bill!

umm...an extra hundred a month. that's all i care about..the bottom line.
i have a 300 gallon tv system and a 65 gallon tv system running to get the extra hundred.
lol well with 2 mag 9's running 24-7 lights running 8 hrs and a couple powerheads I'm looking at around 40 bucks. BLA
