💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding your annual running costs helps you make informed purchasing decisions. Here’s a transparent breakdown of what operating the MNB 1.5hp pump will cost.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Base Parameters:

• Maximum Power Consumption: 1.35 kW
• Current UK Energy Rate: £0.2635 per kWh (Ofgem Q4 2025 Price Cap)

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool

Running 8 hours daily for 6 months (April–September)

• Daily Usage: 8 hours
• Season Length: 180 days
• Annual Running Hours: 1,440 hours
• Power Consumption: 1.35 kW × 1,440 hours = 1,944 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 1,944 kWh × £0.2635 = £512.34

♨️ Scenario 2: Year-Round Heated Pool

Running 10 hours daily, 12 months

• Daily Usage: 10 hours
• Days per Year: 365
• Annual Running Hours: 3,650 hours
• Power Consumption: 1.35 kW × 3,650 hours = 4,927.5 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 4,927.5 kWh × £0.2635 = £1,298.40

🏢 Scenario 3: Commercial Pool Operation

Running 12 hours daily, year-round

• Daily Usage: 12 hours
• Days per Year: 365
• Annual Running Hours: 4,380 hours
• Power Consumption: 1.35 kW × 4,380 hours = 5,913 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 5,913 kWh × £0.2635 = £1,558.08
