Re: Pool questions....pump, power usage, how to find a leak? said by djr777:I need to see how much juice that pump is consuming. That meter might be a good idea. I hate to spend 150.00 for something I may only use once....but I may have too. You don't need an expensive meter to check how much the pump is using.
If it's a hard wired device, like most pumps are, just use a clamp meter to measure the number of amps that it's using and then multiply that by the voltage.
You can buy a cheap one for under $20 on ebay.
You can get a new one off of Amazon for around $30.
Check your local hardware store to see if they have them. | |

That's a good idea. Can I leave that clamp meter on permanently so she can see it for herself?
