💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Power Consumption Analysis:

• Motor Power: 2.2 kW (nominal operating power)
• Maximum Power Draw: 2.4 kW (startup/peak load)
• Average Operating Power: ~2.3 kW (accounting for motor efficiency)

Typical Usage Scenario (6-Month Season):

• Operating Hours: 8 hours/day × 180 days = 1,440 hours/year
• UK Energy Rate: £0.24 per kWh (November 2025 average)
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.3 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.24 = £795.40

Year-Round Operation Scenario:

• Operating Hours: 6 hours/day × 365 days = 2,190 hours/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.3 kW × 2,190 hours × £0.24 = £1,207.70

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario 1: Upgrading from Older Single-Phase 3HP Pump

Old Pump (Legacy 3HP, Lower Efficiency):

• Power Draw: 2.8 kW
• ❌ Annual Cost (1,440 hours): 2.8 × 1,440 × £0.24 = £967.70

New Victoria Plus 3HP (Modern Three-Phase):

• Power Draw: 2.3 kW
• ✅ Annual Cost (1,440 hours): 2.3 × 1,440 × £0.24 = £795.40

💰 Annual Saving: £172.30 📈 3-Year Saving: £516.90 ⏱ Payback Period: ~3-4 years (including pump cost)

📍 Scenario 2: Three-Phase vs Single-Phase Efficiency Advantage

Three-phase motors inherently operate 15-20% more efficiently than equivalent single-phase motors due to:

• Continuous rotating magnetic field (no pulsating torque)
• Lower conductor losses in windings
• Better power factor
• Reduced peak current draw

Efficiency Comparison (3HP Pumps):

• ❌ Single-Phase 3HP: Typical efficiency 70-75%
• ✅ Three-Phase 3HP: Typical efficiency 85-90%

💵 Energy savings: 15-20% lower operating costs over pump lifetime 💷 Additional benefit: Reduced wear on motor components = longer service life

📍 Scenario 3: Commercial Pool Operation (12-Hour Daily Use)

Large Community Pool / Hotel:

• Operating Hours: 12 hours/day × 365 days = 4,380 hours/year
• Power Consumption: 2.3 kW
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.3 × 4,380 × £0.24 = £2,417.80

Comparison to Competitor 3HP Pump (Higher Power Draw):

• Competitor Power: 2.6 kW
• ❌ Competitor Annual Cost: 2.6 × 4,380 × £0.24 = £2,733.50

💰 Annual Saving vs Competitor: £315.70 📊 5-Year Operational Saving: £1,578.50

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Large Residential Pools (100-170m³)

Ideal for substantial domestic installations requiring high flow rates. The 34 m³/h capacity provides twice-daily complete water turnover for pools up to 170m³ (170,000 liters), ensuring crystal-clear water quality. Three-phase power is often available in larger rural properties, barn conversions, and new-build luxury homes. Perfect for pools 15m × 4m × 2.5m deep or equivalent volume.

🏢 Commercial & Semi-Commercial Installations

Designed for hotel pools, leisure centers, small health clubs, and multi-unit residential developments. The IP55 motor protection and Class F insulation handle demanding commercial duty cycles with continuous operation capability. Meets IEC/HD 60364-7-702 commercial pool standards. Typical applications include pools with 8-12 hour daily filtration cycles and high bather loads requiring superior circulation.

🔄 System Upgrades & Retrofits

Direct replacement for older Victoria (part 38780) and Sprint three-phase models. Identical footprint and connection spacing eliminates pipe modifications. Upgrading delivers 15-20% energy savings, reduced noise, and extended warranty coverage. Common in renovation projects where existing three-phase infrastructure already exists but the pump requires replacement due to age or wear.

🌊 Water Feature & Fountain Systems

Suitable for large decorative water features requiring high flow rates and reliable continuous operation. The self-priming capability and corrosion-resistant construction make it ideal for ornamental ponds, commercial fountains, and landscape water features. Can handle installations with pumps positioned up to 2 meters above water level.

☀️ Solar Heating Circulation

Excellent choice for solar pool heating systems requiring high flow rates through roof-mounted panels. The 21-meter maximum head handles significant elevation differences, while the energy-efficient motor offsets the extended running hours typically required for solar heating systems. Three-phase power is common in agricultural and commercial solar installations.
