How does the Pump Power Calculator work?

Calculate: P = (Q × H × ρ × g) / η Then: Or: P = (GPM × Total Head) / (3960 × Efficiency) Then: Account for motor losses beyond pump efficiency.

Can you give an example of how to use the Pump Power Calculator?

Example: Input Q = 0.05 m³/s, H = 20 m, ρ = 1000 kg/m³, η = 0.75 gives a result of P ≈ 13 kW required (Select larger motor for margin).

Is the Pump Power Calculator free to use?

Yes — completely free with no registration, download, or subscription required. All calculations happen instantly in your browser.
