Tank current draw?

mines around 10 amps peak

I use a couple of fancy network controlled power bars that give me pretty accurate power readings (down to 2 decimals).
On my 220, it peaks out at about 7.2 amps and the average is approx 3 amps. But this is after a pretty agressive power "audit" of my tank and the new LED fixture. Before I cleaned things up a lot, it was maxing out at about 11 amps, with an average of about 6.

Granted, the tank was only part of my "power audit" and after 2 months or running after the changes, my house power consumption drapped at LOT. I went from averaging 1400-1600 Kwh per month down to 900 now. Which is about $40-50 lower than previously......

If you don't have a fancy power measuring bar/controller I highly recommend picking up a kill-a-watt and you can measure things 1 at a time and really calculated the cost of things. IE the LED's were worth every penny as the power savings pays for the upgrade in 2-3 years and I have brighter lights than I did before.
