💰 USAGE COSTS & RUNNING EXPENSES

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Power Specifications:

• Motor Power: 1.12 kW (rated output)
• Maximum Absorbed Power: 1.40 kW
• Usage Scenario: 8 hours/day for 180 days (6-month swimming season)
• UK Energy Rate: £0.24 per kWh (November 2024 average)

✅ Annual Running Cost:

• Daily consumption: 1.40 kW × 8 hours = 11.2 kWh
• Seasonal consumption: 11.2 kWh × 180 days = 2,016 kWh
• Annual cost: 2,016 × £0.24 = £483.84

🏊 Different Usage Scenarios

⏱ Reduced Hours Operation (6 hours/day, 180 days):

• ✅ Annual cost: £362.88
• 💰 Saves £120.96 vs. 8-hour operation

☀ Year-Round Operation (8 hours/day, 365 days):

• ❌ Annual cost: £981.12
• Use timer controls to optimize seasonal usage

🌊 Intensive Commercial Use (12 hours/day, 300 days):

• Annual cost: £1,209.60
• Suitable for heavy-duty semi-commercial applications

💡 COST SAVINGS EXAMPLES

📍 Scenario 1: Upgrading from Older Single-Phase 1.5HP Pump

Old Single-Phase Pump (Typical consumption: 1.8 kW)
