I think 5k should be more than enough for a month if it is only for the water pump. This is based on my experience from a compound of 5 flats.
You should however note that the kwh consumed monthly by the pump depends on the number of persons living in the compound, the way you and your fellow tenant use water, surface or underground leaks on the water pipe and fixed on time and tap leaks from your flat or your fellow tenants' flat that are not fixed on time. If all leaks are repaired on time and you are not wasting water, the 5K should be enough for 1 month and some weeks.

The two Geepee tanks in the compound takes exactly 1:30 minutes to get filled and power consumption is usually less than 2 units.

This could help.

Do a central switch box for the Pumping Machine plug with 5 sockets...each sockets powered by wires from each meter.

So, each of you will be pumping per week..you rotate the pumping.

That's the only solution...else, na Wahala you wan enter so

Best idea.

This is what we did.

Multiply that by 30, that's less than ₦1,500. it should be around 2,500 if it's a 2hp machine. Except you pump water at least 3 times a day, ₦5,000 is more than enough to pump water for a month

I pump 4000 litres every two days ..we are four tenants in the compound ..

I have prepaid the rest refused to get prepaid so they got disconnected and the wire was taken away ..

I don't spend up to 2k to pump 4000 litres every two days ..
Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by fuckJones(f): 8:25pm On Oct 24, 2023
it depend on the usage of water and the number of people living in the compound, 5k is too small for the compound that have 5 flat

I stays in an apartment that has five 5flat , each flat occupied with 5 different tenants including myself. Before we uses direct electricity which we collectively pays monthly but recently got change to prepaid meter. With each fat with it own prepaid meter. The landlord refuse to bring another prepaid separately for the compound water Pumping Machine.
However the tenants come to dialogue and agreed to tap electricity from my own prepaid meter to the pumping machine in agreement that each tenant will be paying me 1000naira monthly. So I want to know if 5k can be enough to run pumping machine for a month?

I had similar experience. N5k is ok for you in a month.
It's very fair enough , as long as they keep to their monthly contribution
Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by sureboy4eva(m): 8:44pm On Oct 24, 2023
For my house we have 5 flats . Each flat with its own single phase prepaid meter. So I took another extra meter for the pumping machine . Making it 6 meters. I load 1,000 before but since buhari regime I laod 7,500 that takes us for a month a maybe a day or two. Anything below that na fight una go fight tire. And in a house you put pumping machine on a meter the least you all should load should be 7,500 that is 1,500 per flat. As time goes on if Phcn increase tariff then you increase the cash too. And it’s working fine . Nobody walks up to me to say I use their unit or anything . Who ever wants water goes there to pump. Morning and night and it’s enough. Just my advice

Since the landlord refused to get a new meter for the pumping machine then the five of you should contribute to buy a new meter for the sole purpose of pumping water. Listen, this will surely bounce back on u, pumping water for five flats is not something you should take with a joke. These days, prepaid Meter are designed to cheat consumers, that 5k will not reach anywhere...
Why are they pinning the pumping machine to your own meter since everyone of u has their own meter... Be wise o....

Same thing happened in my compound but we are 6 tenants. So we contribute 2k each. 12k per month.
Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by NoToPile: 9:02pm On Oct 24, 2023
The price is okay, you might not even use up to that.


The only problem is tori go enter the 1k contribution. Prepaid wahala is the next thing after house rent matter.


The way we do it is an electrician will run the pump to everyone's meter, like an individual socket and then you rotate the pumping. Either weekly or daily.

My self and neighbor we rotate the pumping we are just 2 an electrician did the connection we rotate weekly. Because we are two, we used a change over switch that is outside accessible to all, so even if you are not home and it's your turn your neighbor can put in the water for everybody. This method can't work if you have neighbors that are terrible. But the 2 of us are respecting ourselves.


Best you guys contribute and run it this way.

Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by Ifyclaire: 9:17pm On Oct 24, 2023
N5000 every month is very ok for you even if they decide to be pumping water twice daily. I'm talking from experience. We use 7k credit for 7 flats and it lasts over 2 months for us. The choice is yours though.

You made a very terrible agreement to start with. If I were you, my best option would bewqch tenent will his or her pown prepaid for the umping machine turn by turn on weekly or daily. So that it will be a kind of rotation.


This is the best advice self

The landlord doesn't stays in the compound, she base abroad, only tenants stays in the compound and moreover I didn't chose this myself, it was impose on me because my flat is the closest to the pumping machine

Don't let them impose anything, your flat being close to the pumping machine is nothing.. Wiring can be done even to the first flat in Ur compound...

That should be enough for the month but if you are not ok with it, let every tenant get a sucket each at a particular spot, such that will not be too expensive for them to link to there metre, with this, the pumping machine will be plugged to one tenant's sucket per week, this goes round till it returned to the first person.
With the abov, there will be no quarrel, fight etc

Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by fineboynl(m): 9:51pm On Oct 24, 2023
5k would be more than a enough.

The question is how many tanks? And how many time do you fill all the tank in a week?

Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by Briells: 9:54pm On Oct 24, 2023
OP, trust me, you don’t want to take that route. I live in a compound where same thing is going on. We contribute 1k each and we are 4 flats, and the man has been complaining. People go to his house and pump at will - there is no regulation, and more pumping means more meter consumption. At a point you may even get accused of eating their money, cos you won’t be able to differentiate. I wish I can send a voice note cos the matter choke! My advice - you guys should get an estimated bill for the borehole.

You forgot to add the number of hrs he'll pump the water. Assuming it takes 4hrs to fill them, it'll be: 49.50x4=198
198x30 = ₦5940
Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by redfly(m): 11:28pm On Oct 24, 2023
Take the deal!
Let me calculate for you;
Your average submersible pump is 1 horse power, that is 750W
Power rate is N60 per 1000W hour
That means you will be consuming N45 per hour to pump.
If you pump 2hrs a day that's N90 per day x 30days =N2,700

I know this cos I used to have a meter for my pump at my former place and we used N10,000 for about 4 months sometimes
Re: How Much Electricity Does Water Pumping Machine Use In a Month? by biz2get(m): 11:39pm On Oct 24, 2023
Any time you want to pump water to empty tank,, off everything in your house and pump..

Right down the units used BEFORE AND AFTER pumping...

Do the plus and minus.... You will have how many units used to pump a full tank etc, do a rough calcu say 10units x 50pumping timex in a month and you will know if 5k is enough.

1k per tenant is not bad, but the problem is collecting the money from all different tenants.

To fill a 500 litre tank takes less than 20 mins. Assuming the entire flat has two tanks, that will be less than 40 mins.

Hopefully, they pump once a day. Using the cost electricity quoted, it will cost ₦30 to pump everyday. It will cost about ₦850 to ₦950 per month.

Note, this assumes the pump is a 1hp pump; if it is a 2hp pump then it will pump faster at half time for a 1hp. Irregardless, the pump power has very negligible effect on the overall cost.
