💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding the true cost of running your pool pump is essential for making an informed decision. The CIV100’s variable speed technology delivers remarkable savings compared to traditional single-speed pumps.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Assumptions:

• UK electricity rate: £0.2635 per kWh (Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)
• Based on manufacturer specifications and real-world usage scenarios

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool (40-70m³)

Typical Usage: 8 hours daily filtration × 180 days (April-September)

At 50% Speed (Standard Filtration):

• Estimated power draw: ~0.35 kW
• Annual hours: 8 × 180 = 1,440 hours
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.35 kW × 1,440 hrs × £0.2635 = £132.74

Compared to Single-Speed Pump (1.0 kW constant):

• ❌ Annual cost: 1.0 kW × 1,440 hrs × £0.2635 = £379.44
• 💷 Annual saving: £246.70

♨️ Scenario 2: Year-Round Heated Pool (50m³)

Typical Usage: 10 hours daily filtration × 365 days

At 40% Speed (Efficient Circulation):

• Estimated power draw: ~0.25 kW
• Annual hours: 10 × 365 = 3,650 hours
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.25 kW × 3,650 hrs × £0.2635 = £240.45

Compared to Single-Speed Pump (1.0 kW constant):

• ❌ Annual cost: 1.0 kW × 3,650 hrs × £0.2635 = £961.78
• 💷 Annual saving: £721.33

🏢 Scenario 3: Light Commercial / Holiday Let (70m³)

Typical Usage: 12 hours daily × 300 days (extended season)

At 60% Speed (Commercial Filtration):

• Estimated power draw: ~0.50 kW
• Annual hours: 12 × 300 = 3,600 hours
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.50 kW × 3,600 hrs × £0.2635 = £474.30

Compared to Single-Speed Pump (1.0 kW constant):

• ❌ Annual cost: 1.0 kW × 3,600 hrs × £0.2635 = £948.60
• 💷 Annual saving: £474.30

⚡ Manufacturer’s Maximum Savings Scenario

Based on the Certikin brochure specifications for a 60m³ pool running 365 days per year for 16 hours per day at £0.25/kWh:

Pump Type	Annual Consumption	Annual Cost
❌ Traditional Single-Speed	8,760 kWh	£2,190
✅ CIV100 Inverter (Low Speed)	876 kWh	£219
💰 Total Saving	7,884 kWh	£1,971

That’s a 90% reduction in energy consumption!

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Residential Pool Upgrade

The Situation: A family with a 50m³ outdoor pool currently running a 10-year-old single-speed pump 8 hours daily during the 6-month swimming season. They’re tired of the noise and escalating electricity bills.

The Solution: The CIV100 replaces their existing pump, using the included quick-connect unions for straightforward installation. Running at 45% capacity for daily filtration and boosting to 100% only for weekly backwashing, the family enjoys crystal-clear water with barely audible pump operation.

The Result: Annual savings of approximately £200-£250, with the pump often paying for itself within 2-3 seasons through reduced electricity bills alone.

🏠 New Build Specification

The Situation: A pool builder is designing a 60m³ heated pool for a luxury home. The client wants the quietest possible operation as the plant room is adjacent to the main living area.

The Solution: The CIV100’s InverSilence technology operates at just 36 dBA at lower speeds – quieter than a refrigerator and comparable to a whispered conversation. The four programmable timers allow overnight circulation at minimal speed, with boost periods timed for morning and evening swimming.

The Result: The homeowner enjoys silent pump operation that doesn’t intrude on their living space, plus substantial long-term energy savings that enhance the property’s eco-credentials.

🛁 Hot Tub & Spa Integration

The Situation: A wellness centre needs a reliable pump for their 45m³ hydrotherapy pool. Water temperature is maintained at 34°C year-round, requiring continuous circulation. Previous pumps have failed prematurely due to the warm water environment.

The Solution: The CIV100 is rated for water temperatures up to 50°C, with its Class F insulation and IP55 protection ensuring reliable operation in humid environments. The 316 stainless steel mechanical seal with secondary protection handles the demanding conditions without premature wear.

The Result: Reliable 24/7 operation with significant energy savings during off-peak periods when the timer reduces circulation to minimum levels.

🔄 Retrofit Replacement

The Situation: A property owner’s existing Certikin Aquaspeed pump has reached end-of-life after 15 years of service. They want to upgrade to inverter technology without major pipework modifications.

The Solution: The CIV100 shares the same proven Aquaspeed pump housing with compatible inlet/outlet configurations. The included union kit with multiple size options (48.5/50/60.3/63mm) ensures straightforward connection to existing pipework.

The Result: A like-for-like upgrade that transforms energy consumption from day one, with minimal installation time and disruption.

🌊 Water Feature Integration

The Situation: A garden designer needs to power a decorative fountain feature alongside pool filtration. Variable flow is essential to create different visual effects at different times of day.

The Solution: The CIV100’s 30-100% speed adjustment in 5% increments allows precise tuning of fountain height and spray patterns. External control inputs enable integration with landscape lighting systems for synchronised displays.

The Result: Dramatic water features that can be dialled back to gentle ripples for quiet enjoyment, or boosted to full impact for entertaining.
