• ✅ Annual operating cost: 1.5 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £561.60/year

🏊 Commercial Pool Operating Scenarios

📍 Scenario 1: Municipal Pool (Extended Season)

• Usage: 10 hours/day × 240 days/year = 2,400 hours
• Energy cost: 1.5 kW × 2,400 hours × £0.26 = £936/year

📍 Scenario 2: Hotel Pool (Year-Round)

• Usage: 12 hours/day × 365 days/year = 4,380 hours
• Energy cost: 1.5 kW × 4,380 hours × £0.26 = £1,708.20/year

📍 Scenario 3: Leisure Centre (Intensive Use)

• Usage: 14 hours/day × 300 days/year = 4,200 hours
• Energy cost: 1.5 kW × 4,200 hours × £0.26 = £1,638/year

⚡ Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage

The EUP203’s three-phase motor typically achieves 15-25% greater efficiency compared to equivalent single-phase pumps due to:

• Balanced power delivery across three phases reducing electrical losses
• Lower current draw for equivalent power output
• Reduced motor heating and improved component longevity
• Superior power factor resulting in lower demand charges

💵 Efficiency Comparison Example:

Comparing the 3-phase EUP203 against a typical 2HP single-phase pump:

• ❌ Single-phase equivalent: 1.8 kW consumption × 2,400 hours × £0.26 = £1,123.20/year
• ✅ EUP203 (3-phase): 1.5 kW × 2,400 hours × £0.26 = £936/year
• 💰 Annual saving: £187.20/year
• ⏱ 5-year saving: £936 (assuming stable energy prices)
