• Daily Usage: 8 hours
• Season Length: 180 days
• Annual Running Hours: 1,440 hours
• Power Consumption: 1.2 kW × 1,440 hours = 1,728 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 1,728 kWh × £0.2635 = £455.33

♨️ 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: 1.2 kW × 3,650 hours = 4,380 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 4,380 kWh × £0.2635 = £1,154.13

🏢 Scenario 3: Commercial/Extended Operation

Running 12 hours daily, year-round

• Daily Usage: 12 hours
• Days per Year: 365
• Annual Running Hours: 4,380 hours
• Power Consumption: 1.2 kW × 4,380 hours = 5,256 kWh

✅ Annual Running Cost: 5,256 kWh × £0.2635 = £1,384.96

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Medium to Large Residential Pools

The MNB 1hp is perfectly suited for domestic pools between 40,000–75,000 litres. With a flow rate of 17m³/hr at 10m head, it achieves complete water turnover every 2.5–4.5 hours, maintaining excellent water clarity and hygiene throughout the swimming season.

🏠 Salt Water Pool Installations

Full compatibility with salt chlorination systems makes the MNB 1hp an excellent choice for modern sanitisation setups. The 316L stainless steel shaft and corrosion-resistant composite body handle salt-treated water without degradation.
