💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding the true cost of pool pump operation is essential for making an informed purchasing decision. Variable speed technology delivers dramatic savings compared to traditional single-speed pumps.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Assumptions:

• UK commercial electricity rate: £0.26 per kWh (Q4 2025 average)
• Typical pool operation: 8 hours daily during 6-month swimming season (180 days)
• Annual operating hours: 1,440 hours

🏊 Scenario 1: Standard Residential Pool (Daily Filtration)

Running the ETV 165 at medium speed (1500 RPM) for daily filtration:

• Power consumption: 0.15 kW
• Daily usage: 8 hours
• Annual hours: 1,440 hours
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.15 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £56.16

🏢 Scenario 2: Commercial Pool (Extended Operation)

Running at higher speed (2500 RPM) for 12 hours daily, year-round:

• Power consumption: 0.585 kW
• Daily usage: 12 hours
• Annual hours: 4,380 hours
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.585 kW × 4,380 hours × £0.26 = £666.19

♨ Scenario 3: Mixed-Use Operation (Variable Speeds)

Typical intelligent operation using speed scheduling:

• 4 hours at 900 RPM (low): 0.05 kW × 4 × 180 = 36 kWh
• 3 hours at 1500 RPM (medium): 0.15 kW × 3 × 180 = 81 kWh
• 1 hour at 2900 RPM (high): 0.85 kW × 1 × 180 = 153 kWh
• Total annual consumption: 270 kWh
• ✅ Annual cost: 270 kWh × £0.26 = £70.20

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Residential Swimming Pools

The ETV 165 is ideally suited for medium to large domestic pools up to 80m³. Running at lower speeds during off-peak hours provides sufficient filtration while minimising both energy costs and noise—perfect for poolside entertaining or homes where the pump room adjoins living spaces. The transparent strainer lid allows homeowners to quickly check for debris buildup without interrupting operation.

🏢 Hotel & Leisure Centre Pools

Commercial facilities benefit enormously from the ETV 165’s scheduling capabilities. Programme high-speed operation during early morning hours for thorough filtration before guests arrive, then switch to energy-saving low speeds throughout the day. Wi-Fi monitoring means maintenance staff can check pump status from anywhere on the property, whilst Modbus integration connects seamlessly with building management systems.

🌊 Water Features & Fountains

The variable speed control makes the ETV 165 exceptionally versatile for decorative water features. Adjust flow rates to achieve the perfect fountain height or waterfall effect, and create dramatic evening displays by increasing speed during peak viewing hours. The quiet operation ensures water features enhance rather than disturb the ambient environment.

🛁 Spa & Wellness Facilities

For spa pools and wellness centres requiring consistent water quality, the ETV 165 delivers reliable circulation at precisely controlled flow rates. The freeze protection function is invaluable for outdoor installations, automatically activating the pump when temperatures drop to prevent pipe damage during cold snaps.

🔄 Upgrade & Replacement Projects

The optional base adapters enable direct replacement of several competitor pumps including Silen ESPA®, Astralpool® Victoria Plus Silent® and SENA® models. This simplifies upgrades by matching existing pipework configurations, reducing installation time and cost. Facilities can realise immediate energy savings without major system modifications.
