💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding operational costs is essential for commercial facility budgeting. Here’s a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when running the Speck EasyFit 36.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Base Energy Consumption:

• Power Input (P1): 2.10 kW
• UK Commercial Electricity Rate: £0.27 per kWh (November 2025 average)

🏊 Scenario 1: Standard Commercial Pool (Seasonal Operation)

Usage Profile: 10 hours/day × 180 days (April–September)

• Annual Operating Hours: 1,800 hours
• Energy Consumption: 2.10 kW × 1,800 hours = 3,780 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 3,780 kWh × £0.27 = £1,020.60

🏢 Scenario 2: Leisure Centre (Year-Round Operation)

Usage Profile: 12 hours/day × 365 days

• Annual Operating Hours: 4,380 hours
• Energy Consumption: 2.10 kW × 4,380 hours = 9,198 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 9,198 kWh × £0.27 = £2,483.46

♨ Scenario 3: Hotel Pool/Spa Facility (Extended Hours)

Usage Profile: 16 hours/day × 365 days

• Annual Operating Hours: 5,840 hours
• Energy Consumption: 2.10 kW × 5,840 hours = 12,264 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 12,264 kWh × £0.27 = £3,311.28

⚡ Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage

The 3-phase configuration of the EasyFit 36 offers notable efficiency benefits over single-phase alternatives:

Version	Power Input (P1)	Power Output (P2)	Efficiency
❌ Single-Phase (1~)	2.20 kW	1.80 kW	81.8%
✅ Three-Phase (3~)	2.10 kW	1.80 kW	85.7%

💵 Annual Saving (Year-Round Operation):

• Single-phase annual cost: 2.20 kW × 4,380 hrs × £0.27 = £2,601.72
• Three-phase annual cost: 2.10 kW × 4,380 hrs × £0.27 = £2,483.46
• 💰 Saving: £118.26 per year

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂ Commercial Swimming Pool Replacement

A municipal leisure centre with an ageing Pentair WhisperFlo pump facing replacement costs of £3,500+ for an exact match plus extensive plumbing modifications. The EasyFit 36 with Connection Set 2 provides a direct drop-in replacement, eliminating pipework changes and reducing total installation time from days to hours.

🏢 Hotel & Leisure Complex

A boutique hotel with a 25-metre pool requiring year-round circulation needed a pump capable of handling continuous operation. The EasyFit 36’s three-phase motor provides the reliability demanded by 24/7 hospitality environments, whilst the self-priming capability ensures automatic restart after maintenance shutdowns.

🌊 Waterpark Attraction Circuit

Theme parks and waterparks requiring high-flow circulation for lazy rivers, wave pools, and splash zones benefit from the EasyFit 36’s 19-metre maximum head and robust construction. The flexible 3-metre installation height range accommodates complex equipment room layouts typical of attraction environments.

🔄 Retrofit Upgrade Projects

Pool service companies regularly encounter scenarios where original pump manufacturers have discontinued models or OEM replacements are prohibitively expensive. The EasyFit 36’s six connection set options eliminate the “find the exact match” problem, providing a premium German-engineered solution that fits virtually any existing installation.

🏢 Educational Institution Facilities

School and university pools with intermittent seasonal use benefit from the EasyFit 36’s reliable start-up characteristics and self-priming capability. The pump’s quiet operation (65.6 dB at 1 metre) makes it suitable for installations near teaching or residential spaces.

🏠 Large Residential Estate Pools

Estate properties and country clubs with oversized private pools requiring commercial-grade circulation find the EasyFit 36 delivers the necessary flow rates whilst maintaining efficient operation for seasonal use patterns.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Replacing an Older 2.5 kW Single-Phase Pump

Many facilities operate ageing pumps that consume significantly more energy than necessary. Here’s the financial case for upgrading:

Old Pump Specifications:

• ❌ Power Input: 2.5 kW (typical older single-phase design)
• ❌ Efficiency: Approximately 72% (aged motor windings)

EasyFit 36 Three-Phase:

• ✅ Power Input: 2.10 kW
• ✅ Efficiency: 85.7%

Annual Energy Comparison (Year-Round Operation: 4,380 hours):

Pump	Annual Consumption	Annual Cost (£0.27/kWh)
❌ Old 2.5 kW pump	10,950 kWh	£2,956.50
✅ EasyFit 36 (3~)	9,198 kWh	£2,483.46

💷 Annual Saving: £473.04 📈 5-Year Saving: £2,365.20 ⏱ Typical Payback Period: 2-3 years (depending on pump purchase price)

📍 Scenario: Avoiding OEM Replacement Costs

When a Hayward SuperPump fails in a commercial installation:

Option A: OEM Replacement

• ❌ Exact replacement pump cost: £1,800–£2,400
• ❌ Plumbing modification if model discontinued: £400–£800
• ❌ Extended downtime: 3–5 days
• ❌ Total Cost: £2,200–£3,200

Option B: EasyFit 36 with Connection Set 3

• ✅ EasyFit 36 pump cost: Competitive pricing
• ✅ Connection Set 3 (Hayward SuperPump compatible): Included
• ✅ No plumbing modifications required
• ✅ Installation time: Same day
• ✅ Total Cost: Significantly lower with zero modification expense

💰 Potential Saving: £500–£1,200+ (plus avoided downtime revenue loss)

📍 Scenario: Three-Phase vs Single-Phase Installation Choice

For new installations where both options are available:

10-Year Total Cost of Ownership Comparison:

Cost Element	❌ Single-Phase (1~)	✅ Three-Phase (3~)
Initial Purchase	Slightly lower	Slightly higher
Annual Energy (Year-round)	£2,601.72	£2,483.46
10-Year Energy Cost	£26,017.20	£24,834.60
Motor Stress/Longevity	Higher stress	Lower stress

💵 10-Year Energy Saving with Three-Phase: £1,182.60

Three-phase motors also typically demonstrate longer service life due to reduced electrical stress, potentially avoiding one motor replacement over a 15-20 year equipment lifecycle.
