💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding your pump’s running costs helps you budget effectively and appreciate the value of an efficient, properly-sized pump like the HGS201SM.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Key Assumptions:

• Power consumption: 1.5 kW
• UK electricity rate: £0.27 per kWh (Ofgem Price Cap, Q1 2026)
• All costs include VAT

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool (6 Months Operation)

Typical UK outdoor pool running during swimming season (May–October)

Parameter	Value
Daily operation	8 hours
Season length	180 days
Annual running hours	1,440 hours
Power consumption	1.5 kW × 1,440 hours = 2,160 kWh
✅ Annual Running Cost	2,160 kWh × £0.27 = £583.20
Monthly Cost (in season)	£97.20

♨️ Scenario 2: Heated Indoor Pool (Year-Round Operation)

Indoor or heated pools requiring continuous filtration

Parameter	Value
Daily operation	10 hours
Operating days	365 days
Annual running hours	3,650 hours
Power consumption	1.5 kW × 3,650 hours = 5,475 kWh
✅ Annual Running Cost	5,475 kWh × £0.27 = £1,478.25
Monthly Cost	£123.19

🏢 Scenario 3: Light Commercial / Holiday Let Pool

Rental property or small commercial pool with extended daily operation

Parameter	Value
Daily operation	12 hours
Operating days	365 days
Annual running hours	4,380 hours
Power consumption	1.5 kW × 4,380 hours = 6,570 kWh
✅ Annual Running Cost	6,570 kWh × £0.27 = £1,773.90
Monthly Cost	£147.83

⚡ Energy Efficiency Comparison

How does the HGS201SM compare to older or less efficient pumps?

Pump Type	Power Rating	Annual Cost (1,440 hrs)	Difference
❌ Older 2hp pump (inefficient motor)	1.8 kW	£699.84	+£116.64/year
❌ Oversized 3hp pump	2.2 kW	£855.36	+£272.16/year
✅ HGS201SM (Optimised Design)	1.5 kW	£583.20	Baseline

💷 Choosing the correctly-sized, efficient HGS201SM over an oversized 3hp pump saves up to £272 per year!

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Medium to Large Residential Pools (60-100m³)

The HGS201SM excels in family pools ranging from 60,000 to 100,000 litres. With a maximum flow rate of 32 m³/h, it can turn over a 75m³ pool in under 2.5 hours – well within the recommended 4-6 hour turnover period. Ideal for pools with multiple return jets, waterfalls, or water features requiring sustained pressure and flow.

Typical installation: In-ground concrete or liner pool, 8×4m to 10×5m, filtration room within 10m of pool

🌊 Water Features & Fountains

The powerful 2hp motor and 18.5m maximum head make the HGS201SM perfect for driving decorative water features, deck jets, and fountain installations. The consistent pressure delivery ensures spectacular visual effects without performance drop-off during extended operation.

Typical installation: Ornamental pond with fountain jets, poolside water curtain feature, deck-mounted spray jets

🏢 Light Commercial Applications

Small hotels, holiday lets, and bed & breakfast establishments benefit from the HGS201SM’s commercial-grade durability combined with domestic-friendly single-phase power supply. The IP55 protection and Class F motor rating ensure reliable operation even with intensive daily use.

Typical installation: Holiday cottage rental pool, boutique hotel plunge pool, wellness centre hydrotherapy pool

🔄 Upgrade & Replacement Projects

The HGS201SM is an excellent direct replacement for aging pool pumps requiring 2″ connections. Its compact footprint (580mm overall length) fits most existing plant rooms, while the improved hydraulic efficiency delivers better performance with lower energy consumption than older designs.

Typical installation: Replacing 15-20 year old pumps, upgrading from standard efficiency to high-efficiency motor, consolidating multiple small pumps into single powerful unit

☀️ Above-Ground Pool Installations

Larger above-ground pools (Intex Ultra XTR, Bestway Power Steel Swim Vista) benefit from the HGS201SM’s self-priming capability and high flow rate. The 2m self-priming height allows flexible positioning, while the strainer basket handles leaves and debris common in garden pool environments.

Typical installation: Premium above-ground pool 5m+ diameter, permanent above-ground installation with dedicated filtration system

📍 Scenario: Downsizing from Oversized 3hp Pump

Situation: Previous installer fitted oversized pump; replacing with correctly-sized HGS201SM

Factor	Oversized 3hp	HGS201SM	Saving
Power consumption	2.2 kW	1.5 kW	0.7 kW
Annual hours	1,440	1,440	–
Annual kWh	3,168 kWh	2,160 kWh	1,008 kWh
❌ Annual cost (oversized)	£855.36	–	–
✅ Annual cost (correct size)	–	£583.20	–
💷 Annual Saving	–	–	£272.16

📈 5-Year Total Saving: £272.16 × 5 = £1,360.80 – nearly double the pump’s purchase price returned through energy savings alone!

📍 Scenario: Comparing to Premium Variable Speed Pumps

Situation: Evaluating HGS201SM vs expensive variable speed options for moderate-use residential pool

Factor	Variable Speed Pump	HGS201SM
Purchase price	£1,200 – £1,800	£733.98
Annual running cost (1,440 hrs @ 50% average speed)	~£320	£583.20
