💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

One of the most compelling benefits of the Flotide ETV 125 is its remarkable energy efficiency. Unlike traditional single-speed pumps that run at full power continuously, variable speed technology allows you to match pump output to actual filtration needs.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

UK Electricity Rate Used: £0.2635 per kWh (Ofgem Price Cap, Q4 2025)

🏊 Scenario 1: Typical Residential Pool (Low Speed Filtration)

Most residential pools can achieve adequate filtration running at lower speeds for longer periods:

• Operating Speed: 1500 RPM
• Power Consumption: 0.12 kW
• Daily Runtime: 10 hours
• Swimming Season: 180 days (April – September)

Annual Running Cost: 0.12 kW × 10 hours × 180 days × £0.2635 = £56.92 per year

🏊 Scenario 2: Active Family Pool (Medium Speed)

For pools with higher bather loads requiring more turnover:

• Operating Speed: 2500 RPM
• Power Consumption: 0.45 kW
• Daily Runtime: 8 hours
• Swimming Season: 180 days

Annual Running Cost: 0.45 kW × 8 hours × 180 days × £0.2635 = £171.07 per year

♨️ Scenario 3: Year-Round Heated Pool

For indoor or heated pools operating continuously:

• Operating Speed: 1500 RPM (low speed circulation)
• Power Consumption: 0.12 kW
• Daily Runtime: 12 hours
• Annual Operation: 365 days

Annual Running Cost: 0.12 kW × 12 hours × 365 days × £0.2635 = £138.51 per year

💷 Comparison: Variable Speed vs Single-Speed Pump

Pump Type	Power Draw	Daily Hours	Season Days	Annual Cost
❌ Old Single-Speed (1.5HP)	1.1 kW	8 hours	180 days	£418.37
❌ Old Single-Speed (1HP)	0.75 kW	8 hours	180 days	£285.25
✅ Flotide ETV 125 (Low Speed)	0.12 kW	10 hours	180 days	£56.92
✅ Flotide ETV 125 (Med Speed)	0.45 kW	8 hours	180 days	£171.07

💰 Potential Annual Savings: £114 to £361 compared to traditional single-speed pumps

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏠 Residential Pool Upgrade

Perfect for homeowners looking to modernise their pool equipment and reduce running costs. The ETV 125’s variable speed capability means you can run the pump at lower speeds during the day for basic filtration, then increase speed briefly for more intensive cleaning after heavy use. The ultra-quiet operation below 50dB is ideal for properties where the plant room is close to living spaces or neighbouring homes.

🏢 Commercial Pool & Leisure Centre

Hotels, holiday parks, and leisure centres benefit from the pump’s robust construction and smart connectivity. The Modbus RS485 interface enables integration with building management systems, whilst the programmable schedules allow facility managers to optimise energy consumption around peak usage times. The automatic recovery feature ensures continuous operation after power interruptions.

🔄 Direct Replacement Installation

The ETV 125 is specifically designed as a drop-in replacement for popular pumps including ESPA Silen, Astralpool Victoria Plus Silent, and SENA models. With the optional dedicated base (code 4201210356), installers can match existing pipework heights without modifications. The universal 50/63mm connections work with both metric and imperial pipework.

🌊 Infinity Pools & Water Features

For installations requiring continuous water circulation, such as infinity edges or decorative water features, the variable speed control allows precise flow adjustment. Running at lower speeds reduces surface turbulence whilst maintaining circulation, and the energy savings are even more pronounced with 24/7 operation.

☀️ Solar-Heated Pool Systems

Variable speed pumps are ideal for solar thermal systems where flow rate must be adjusted based on solar gain. The ETV 125 can operate at minimal speed during low-sun periods and increase flow when maximum heat transfer is available, optimising overall system efficiency.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Upgrading from a 10-Year-Old Single-Speed Pump

A typical older pool pump (1HP single-speed) running 8 hours daily during a 6-month season:

❌ Old Pump Annual Cost:

• Power: 0.75 kW × 8 hours × 180 days = 1,080 kWh
• Cost: 1,080 × £0.2635 = £284.58/year

✅ Flotide ETV 125 at Optimal Low Speed:

• Power: 0.12 kW × 10 hours × 180 days = 216 kWh
• Cost: 216 × £0.2635 = £56.92/year

💵 Annual Saving: £227.66

⏱️ Payback Period: At typical pump prices, ROI achieved within 2-3 seasons

📈 5-Year Savings: £1,138

📍 Scenario: Commercial Pool Reducing Operating Costs

A leisure centre pool running a 1.5HP pump 12 hours daily, 365 days per year:

❌ Current Single-Speed Operation:

• Power: 1.1 kW × 12 hours × 365 days = 4,818 kWh
• Cost: 4,818 × £0.2635 = £1,269.54/year

✅ Flotide ETV 125 Running Mixed Speeds:

• Low speed (8 hours): 0.12 kW × 8 × 365 = 350 kWh
• Medium speed (4 hours): 0.45 kW × 4 × 365 = 657 kWh
• Total: 1,007 kWh
• Cost: 1,007 × £0.2635 = £265.34/year

💵 Annual Saving: £1,004.20

📈 10-Year Savings: Over £10,000

📍 Scenario: Reducing Night-time Running Costs with Smart Scheduling

Using the programmable timer to run at minimum speed overnight (off-peak) and higher speeds only when needed:

✅ Optimised Schedule:

• Night (10pm-6am): 900 RPM at 0.04 kW × 8 hours = 0.32 kWh/day
• Day (6am-10pm): 1500 RPM at 0.12 kW × 4 hours = 0.48 kWh/day
• Daily total: 0.80 kWh × £0.2635 = £0.21/day
• Annual (180 days): £37.94

💰 Savings vs Full-Speed Operation: Over 85%
