💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding running costs helps you budget effectively and appreciate the long-term value of an energy-efficient pump. The PPG 16’s 0.75kW motor delivers excellent hydraulic performance while maintaining economical operation.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Power consumption: 0.75 kW
UK electricity rate: £0.26 per kWh (Ofgem Q4 2025 price cap average)

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool (6-Month Season)

• Usage: 8 hours/day × 180 days = 1,440 hours/year
• ✅ Annual running cost: 0.75 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £280.80 per year

☀️ Scenario 2: Extended Summer Season (8 Months)

• Usage: 8 hours/day × 240 days = 1,920 hours/year
• ✅ Annual running cost: 0.75 kW × 1,920 hours × £0.26 = £374.40 per year

🔥 Scenario 3: Year-Round Heated Pool

• Usage: 6 hours/day × 365 days = 2,190 hours/year
• ✅ Annual running cost: 0.75 kW × 2,190 hours × £0.26 = £427.05 per year

💷 Comparison: PPG 16 vs Higher-Powered Alternatives

Pump Type	Power (kW)	Annual Hours	Annual Cost	vs PPG 16
✅ PPG 16	0.75	1,440	£280.80	—
❌ Typical 1.1kW pump	1.10	1,440	£411.84	+£131.04/year
❌ Oversized 1.5kW pump	1.50	1,440	£561.60	+£280.80/year

⚡ Key insight: Correctly sizing your pump to your pool’s requirements avoids unnecessary energy waste. The PPG 16’s 0.75kW motor provides ample flow for pools up to 70m³ without the excess power consumption of oversized alternatives.

🎯 Real World Applications

🏊 Residential Swimming Pools (40-70m³)

The PPG 16’s 14 m³/h flow rate at 10m head makes it ideal for medium-sized family pools. With proper sizing (turnover of 4-6 hours), this pump efficiently circulates water through filtration systems while maintaining energy-efficient operation throughout the swimming season.

🛁 Large Hot Tubs & Swim Spas

The 0.75kW motor provides sufficient power for multi-jet hydrotherapy systems while the premium materials and salt-water compatibility make it suitable for spa applications with chemical treatment systems.

🌊 Water Features & Fountains

Where moderate flow rates are required, the PPG 16 delivers reliable performance for decorative water features, with its quiet operation ensuring the pump doesn’t detract from the peaceful ambience.

🔄 Upgrade & Replacement Applications

The standard 50mm connections and compact design make the PPG 16 an excellent replacement for ageing or failed pumps. The upgrade from older, less efficient pumps can deliver immediate energy savings whilst providing improved reliability.

🏠 Coastal & Salt Pool Installations

Full compatibility with seawater and salt electrolysis systems, combined with 304 and 316L stainless steel components, makes the PPG 16 particularly well-suited for coastal environments or salt-chlorinated pools where corrosion resistance is essential.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Upgrading from an Older 1.1kW Pump

Many older pool pumps run at 1.1kW or higher, consuming significantly more electricity than necessary for adequate circulation.

Current situation:

• ❌ Old pump: 1.1 kW
• ❌ Annual hours: 1,440 (seasonal use)
• ❌ Annual cost: 1.1 × 1,440 × £0.26 = £411.84

After upgrading to PPG 16:

• ✅ PPG 16: 0.75 kW
• ✅ Annual hours: 1,440
• ✅ Annual cost: 0.75 × 1,440 × £0.26 = £280.80

💰 Annual saving: £131.04
📈 5-year saving: £655.20
⏱️ Typical payback period: 3-4 years (depending on pump purchase price)

📍 Scenario: Avoiding Oversized Pump Selection

Pool owners sometimes install oversized pumps thinking “bigger is better.” This table shows the cumulative cost of running a 1.5kW pump versus the correctly-sized PPG 16:

Year	PPG 16 (0.75kW) Cumulative Cost	1.5kW Pump Cumulative Cost	Cumulative Overspend
1	£280.80	£561.60	❌ £280.80
3	£842.40	£1,684.80	❌ £842.40
5	£1,404.00	£2,808.00	❌ £1,404.00
10	£2,808.00	£5,616.00	❌ £2,808.00

💵 10-year saving by choosing correctly-sized PPG 16: £2,808

📍 Scenario: Long-Term Reliability Savings

The PPG 16’s premium construction delivers additional savings through:

• ✅ 5-year motor warranty – Reduces risk of unexpected replacement costs
• ✅ Carbide mechanical seals – Outlast standard ceramic seals, reducing maintenance
• ✅ 316L stainless steel shaft – No contact with water means no shaft corrosion
• ✅ Quality European manufacturing – Consistent performance throughout service life

A typical budget pump replacement every 4-5 years could cost £300-400. The PPG 16’s longevity (often 10+ years with proper maintenance) represents significant long-term savings beyond just energy efficiency.
