💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Understanding the true cost of pump operation is essential for commercial facility budgeting and equipment selection. Here’s how the EUP153’s three-phase efficiency translates to real-world savings:

🏊 Typical Leisure Centre Pool Scenario:

• Power consumption: 1.1 kW
• Operating schedule: 10 hours/day, 365 days/year = 3,650 hours annually
• UK commercial electricity rate: £0.26 per kWh (2024/2025 average)
• ✅ Annual running cost: 1.1 × 3,650 × £0.26 = £1,044

🏨 Hotel Pool Operation:

• Power consumption: 1.1 kW
• Operating schedule: 12 hours/day, 300 days/year = 3,600 hours annually
• UK commercial electricity rate: £0.26 per kWh
• ✅ Annual running cost: 1.1 × 3,600 × £0.26 = £1,030

⚡ Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage

Compared to a hypothetical single-phase pump of equivalent output (which would typically draw 1.35-1.45 kW due to lower motor efficiency):

❌ Single-phase equivalent annual cost:

• Power: 1.4 kW × 3,650 hours × £0.26 = £1,331

✅ EUP153 three-phase annual cost:

• Power: 1.1 kW × 3,650 hours × £0.26 = £1,044

💰 Annual saving: £287 📈 Three-year saving: £861 💷 Five-year saving: £1,435

These calculations are based on continuous operation at full load. Many facilities operate pumps on variable schedules or with turndown during off-peak hours, potentially increasing percentage savings even further due to the superior part-load efficiency of three-phase motors.

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊 Municipal Swimming Pools
Ideal for council-operated leisure centres and community pools requiring reliable circulation for 50-100m³ pools. The 4-litre pre-filter basket reduces maintenance requirements for stretched facility management teams, whilst the quiet operation ensures minimal disturbance to swimmers and neighbouring residents. The robust three-phase motor provides the reliability essential for facilities operating 12-16 hours daily throughout the year.

🏨 Hotel & Resort Facilities
Perfect for hotel swimming pools, spa facilities, and leisure complexes where appearance, noise levels, and reliability are paramount. The transparent strainer cover allows maintenance staff to check filter status during rounds without interrupting guest experiences, whilst the whisper-quiet operation (53-64 LpA) ensures no complaints from rooms adjacent to pool areas. Salt chlorination compatibility provides flexibility for premium facilities transitioning to gentler water treatment systems.

🌊 Water Park Features
Suitable for smaller lazy river sections, activity pools, and feature pool circulation where three-phase power is available. The EUP153’s ability to handle liquid temperatures up to 60°C makes it appropriate for heated pools and spa-temperature water features, whilst the stainless steel-reinforced ports withstand the higher flow velocities common in water park applications.

🏢 Commercial Installations
Excellent for health clubs, private schools, care homes, and corporate wellness facilities with medium to large pools. The self-priming capability simplifies installation in both below-ground plant rooms and above-ground equipment areas. The IE2 motor efficiency helps commercial operators reduce utility costs—a significant consideration when operating multiple pumps across facility portfolios.

🏘 Large Residential Pools
For substantial private pools (60-90m³) where three-phase power supply is available, the EUP153 offers commercial-grade performance and reliability typically unavailable in domestic pump ranges. Homeowners benefit from professional-quality circulation, reduced maintenance frequency, and significantly lower noise levels compared to conventional residential pumps, particularly valuable for pools adjacent to living spaces.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario 1: Upgrading from Older Single-Phase Technology

Many older commercial pools still operate single-phase pumps from the pre-2010 era, before modern efficiency standards were introduced.

❌ Legacy single-phase pump (typical 2005-2010 model):

• Power consumption: ~1.8 kW (poor motor efficiency, higher electrical losses)
• Annual operation: 3,650 hours
• Annual cost: 1.8 × 3,650 × £0.26 = £1,709

✅ Euroswim EUP153 replacement:

• Power consumption: 1.1 kW (modern IE2 three-phase motor)
• Annual operation: 3,650 hours
• Annual cost: 1.1 × 3,650 × £0.26 = £1,044

💰 Annual saving: £665
⏱ Investment payback period: Typically 18-24 months
📈 Five-year total saving: £3,325
💷 Ten-year total saving: £6,650

Additional benefits include reduced maintenance costs due to modern motor design, lower thermal stress on electrical systems, and improved reliability reducing costly emergency callouts.

📍 Scenario 2: Comparison Against Budget Single-Phase Alternative

For facilities considering a new pump installation and evaluating whether three-phase infrastructure investment is worthwhile:

❌ Budget single-phase 1.5HP pump:

• Power consumption: ~1.35 kW (typical single-phase motor efficiency)
• Purchase price: £650-800 (estimated)
• Annual running cost: 1.35 × 3,650 × £0.26 = £1,281

✅ Euroswim EUP153 three-phase:

• Power consumption: 1.1 kW (IE2 three-phase efficiency)
• Purchase price: Higher initial investment
• Annual running cost: 1.1 × 3,650 × £0.26 = £1,044

💰 Annual operational saving: £237
📊 Over 5 years: £1,185 in electricity cost savings
📈 Over 10 years: £2,370 in electricity cost savings

Key consideration: If three-phase power supply is already available (common in commercial buildings constructed post-2000), the higher initial cost of three-phase equipment typically pays for itself within 2-3 years through reduced operating costs. Facilities planning to operate for 10+ years will realise substantial total cost of ownership benefits.

📍 Scenario 3: Protection Against Future Energy Price Increases

Current UK commercial electricity rates (~£0.26/kWh) remain elevated compared to pre-2021 levels and are subject to ongoing volatility. Energy-efficient equipment provides protection against future price escalation:

If electricity costs rise to £0.35/kWh (representing potential future increases based on renewable energy transition costs):

❌ Legacy 1.8kW pump annual cost:

• 1.8 × 3,650 × £0.35 = £2,301

✅ EUP153 1.1kW pump annual cost:

• 1.1 × 3,650 × £0.35 = £1,405

💷 Annual saving at elevated prices: £896

The more energy prices increase, the more valuable energy-efficient equipment becomes. Facilities investing in efficient three-phase technology today are protecting their operating budgets against future market uncertainty.
