🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🛁 Hot Tubs & Therapy Spas

The PPG Pump 11 excels in hot tub applications where reliable, quiet circulation is essential. Its 10 m³/h flow rate provides excellent water turnover for tubs up to 2,000 litres, while the whisper-quiet operation ensures a peaceful soaking experience. The saltwater compatibility makes it perfect for salt-sanitised spas, and the corrosion-resistant components withstand the demanding chemical environment of heated spa water.

🏊‍♂ Small Residential Pools

Ideal for pools up to approximately 40,000 litres (40 m³) where the pump can achieve a full water turnover every 4 hours during operation. The self-priming design handles installations where the pump sits above water level, while the pre-filter basket captures leaves and debris before they reach the impeller.

🌊 Swim Spas & Plunge Pools

The compact yet powerful PPG Pump 11 provides reliable circulation for swim spas and plunge pools. Its energy-efficient operation keeps running costs manageable for systems that may operate for extended periods, particularly with heated swim spas requiring constant water movement.

🔄 Replacement & Upgrade Applications

With standard 50mm connections and a compact footprint, the PPG Pump 11 offers a straightforward replacement option for aging or failed pumps. The 5-year motor warranty provides peace of mind when upgrading from unreliable equipment, while the improved efficiency delivers immediate energy savings.

🏢 Coastal & Marine Environments

The combination of 316L stainless steel shaft, 304 stainless steel hardware, and saltwater-compatible construction makes the PPG Pump 11 particularly well-suited for coastal installations where salt air can quickly degrade inferior pumps. Properties near the sea benefit from this pump’s exceptional corrosion resistance.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Upgrading from an Older 1.1kW Single-Speed Pump

Many hot tub and pool owners are running outdated, inefficient pumps that consume far more electricity than necessary.

Old pump specifications:

• Power: 1.1 kW
• Operation: 4 hours daily, year-round
• Annual hours: 1,460
• ❌ Old annual cost: 1,606 kWh × £0.2635 = £423.18

PPG Pump 11 specifications:

• Power: 0.55 kW
• Same 4 hours daily operation
• ✅ New annual cost: 803 kWh × £0.2635 = £211.59

💰 Annual saving: £211.59 📈 3-year saving: £634.77 ⏱ Typical payback period: 12-18 months (depending on purchase price)

📍 Scenario: Right-Sizing for a Hot Tub

Many hot tub installations use oversized pumps rated at 1.5kW when a properly sized 0.55kW pump would deliver adequate circulation.

Oversized pump (1.5kW):

• ❌ Annual cost (4 hrs/day): £577.07

PPG Pump 11 (0.55kW):

• ✅ Annual cost (4 hrs/day): £211.59

💰 Annual saving: £365.48 📈 5-year saving: £1,827.40

Note: Always ensure pump sizing matches your system’s hydraulic requirements. Consult a professional installer for proper sizing.

📍 Scenario: Seasonal Pool vs Year-Round Savings

Operation Pattern	PPG Pump 11 Cost	1.1kW Pump Cost	Annual Saving
4 hrs/day, 180 days (seasonal)	£104.80	£209.59	£104.79
8 hrs/day, 180 days (seasonal)	£208.69	£417.39	£208.70
4 hrs/day, 365 days (year-round)	£211.59	£423.18	£211.59
8 hrs/day, 365 days (year-round)	£423.18	£846.37	£423.19
