💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Power Consumption:

• Motor power: 0.55kW
• Typical operation: 8 hours/day during 6-month swim season (May-October)
• Annual running hours: 8 hours × 183 days = 1,464 hours/year
• Current UK commercial electricity rate: £0.26 per kWh (November 2025 average)

✅ Annual Cost – HGS073SM (Three-Phase):

• Energy consumption: 0.55kW × 1,464 hours = 805.2 kWh/year
• Annual electricity cost: 805.2 × £0.26 = £209.35 per year

💡 Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage

❌ Equivalent Single-Phase Pump (0.75hp):

• Typical power consumption: 0.65kW (single-phase motors run less efficiently)
• Annual consumption: 0.65kW × 1,464 hours = 951.6 kWh/year
• Annual cost: 951.6 × £0.26 = £247.42 per year

💰 Annual Saving with Three-Phase: £38.07 📈 10-Year Saving: £380.70

⚡ Extended Season Operation

For year-round pools or commercial residential properties operating 10-12 months:

🏊 Year-Round Operation Scenario:

• Running time: 8 hours/day × 365 days = 2,920 hours/year
• ✅ Three-phase annual cost: 0.55kW × 2,920 × £0.26 = £416.16
• ❌ Single-phase annual cost: 0.65kW × 2,920 × £0.26 = £492.96
• 💵 Annual saving: £76.80
• 💷 5-year saving: £384.00

📍 Comparison vs. Older Equipment

Scenario: Replacing 15-Year-Old 0.75hp Pump

Older pumps typically consume 20-25% more energy due to:

• Worn bearings increasing friction
• Impeller degradation reducing efficiency
• Older motor technology

❌ Old 0.75hp pump estimated consumption: 0.70kW

• Seasonal cost (1,464 hours): 0.70 × 1,464 × £0.26 = £266.11 per year

✅ New HGS073SM three-phase pump: £209.35 per year

💰 Annual saving: £56.76 ⏱ Payback period: Approximately 2-3 years (depending on pump cost) 💷 10-year saving: £567.60 (excluding avoided repair costs)

🎯 Real World Applications

🏊‍♂️ Larger Residential Pools (8m × 4m to 12m × 5m)

Perfect for family pools requiring 8-12 hours of daily circulation during the swimming season. The 13.5m maximum head easily handles typical filtration systems with pool/spa combinations, providing reliable turnover for pools up to 80,000 litres. Three-phase operation ensures smooth, quiet performance without the vibration and electrical noise common in single-phase pumps.

🏠 Holiday Rentals & Second Homes

Ideal for commercial residential properties where reliability is paramount and maintenance visits are infrequent. The self-priming capability and patented strainer basket minimize service calls, while three-phase efficiency keeps operating costs predictable for property managers calculating rental margins. The 2-year warranty provides additional confidence for investment properties.

♨️ Heated Pools & Extended Season Use

Designed for pools with gas or heat pump heating systems operating beyond the traditional UK summer season. The IP55 motor protection and Class F insulation handle the higher ambient temperatures around heated pools, while continuous-duty rating ensures the pump can run longer hours without thermal stress.

🏢 Commercial Residential Properties

Suitable for apartment complexes, housing developments, and estate pools serving multiple properties. Three-phase power supply is typically available in commercial residential settings, and the superior efficiency justifies the installation for shared facility pools where electricity costs are budgeted annually.

🔄 Upgrade from Single-Phase

Excellent choice when upgrading existing pool systems where three-phase supply has been added or is already available. The direct 1.5″ connections typically match existing pipework, and the compact dimensions (550mm length) fit most existing pump locations without modification.

🌊 High-Turnover Requirements

Ideal for pools with intensive bather loads requiring higher circulation rates—such as therapy pools, swim training pools, or pools used for regular swimming lessons. The high hydraulic efficiency maintains performance even with partially restricted filters, ensuring water quality remains consistent.
