🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Commercial Swimming Pools

Ideal for municipal leisure centres, fitness clubs, and swimming schools requiring high-volume water turnover. The 22m³/hr flow rate ensures pools up to 90m³ achieve the required 4-6 hour turnover cycles mandated by health and safety regulations. The robust 2HP motor handles the continuous duty cycle demands of public facilities with ease.

🏢 Hotel & Resort Pools

Perfect for hospitality venues where reliability is paramount. The quiet operation from the advanced airflow ventilation system ensures guest comfort, whilst the see-through strainer cover allows maintenance staff to quickly assess basket condition without disrupting pool operations. Salt-safe construction accommodates modern saltwater chlorination systems preferred by many luxury hotels.

🏠 Large Residential Pools

For homeowners with substantial pools (60-90m³) or those with complex water features requiring high flow rates, the SP2622XW251 provides ample circulation capacity. The extra-large strainer basket is particularly beneficial for pools surrounded by mature gardens where leaves and debris accumulate quickly.

🌊 Water Features & Fountains

The substantial 22m³/hr flow rate makes this pump excellent for driving large water features, artificial waterfalls, and fountain displays in commercial or high-end residential settings. The consistent, powerful output ensures impressive visual effects without flow fluctuation.

🔄 Upgrade & Replacement Applications

Designed specifically as a direct replacement for existing Super Pump installations, the SP2622XW251 offers straightforward retrofitting with matching port sizes and mounting dimensions. Ideal for upgrading ageing pumps where increased capacity or improved efficiency is required.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

Understanding potential savings helps justify your investment decision. Here are realistic scenarios comparing the SP2622XW251 against common alternatives.

📍 Scenario 1: Upgrading from Oversized Single-Speed Pump

Many older installations use oversized 3HP pumps running at full speed continuously, wasting energy.

Comparison	Old 3HP Pump	Hayward SP2622XW251
Input Power	2.4 kW	1.6 kW
Annual Hours (Commercial)	4,380 hrs	4,380 hrs
Annual Consumption	10,512 kWh	7,008 kWh
❌ Annual Cost	£2,769.91	–
✅ Annual Cost	–	£1,846.60
💰 Annual Saving	£923.31
📈 5-Year Saving	£4,616.55

⏱ Payback Period: Based on equipment costs, typical payback achieved within 1-2 years through energy savings alone.

📍 Scenario 2: Single-Phase vs Three-Phase Comparison

For facilities with three-phase power available, comparing options is worthwhile. The three-phase SP2622XW253 offers efficiency benefits:

Comparison	SP2622XW251 (1-Phase)	SP2622XW253 (3-Phase)
Input Power	1,600 W	1,780 W
Output Power	1,220 W	1,500 W
Motor Efficiency	76.25%	84.27%
Annual Hours	4,380 hrs	4,380 hrs
Annual Consumption	7,008 kWh	7,796 kWh
❌ Annual Cost	£1,846.60	–
✅ Annual Cost	–	£2,054.24

Note: While the three-phase model consumes slightly more energy, it delivers significantly higher output power (1,500W vs 1,220W), providing better value for high-demand commercial applications. The single-phase SP2622XW251 remains the cost-effective choice for installations without three-phase power availability.

📍 Scenario 3: Replacing an Inefficient Older Pump

Older pumps often operate at 60-65% efficiency compared to modern designs achieving 75%+ efficiency.

Comparison	15-Year-Old 2HP Pump	Hayward SP2622XW251
Estimated Input Power	2.0 kW	1.6 kW
Annual Hours (Residential)	1,440 hrs	1,440 hrs
Annual Consumption	2,880 kWh	2,304 kWh
❌ Annual Cost	£758.88	–
✅ Annual Cost	–	£607.10
💰 Annual Saving	£151.78
📈 10-Year Saving	£1,517.80

Additional Benefits: New warranty coverage, improved reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and peace of mind.
