💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding the true cost of ownership is essential when investing in quality pool and spa equipment. The PPG Pump 36 delivers impressive performance while maintaining reasonable operating costs thanks to its efficient design and low-intensity operation.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Base Parameters:

• Power consumption: 2.2 kW
• UK electricity rate: £0.2635 per kWh (Ofgem Q4 2025 price cap)

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Pool/Hot Tub Use (6 Months)

Typical residential pool or hot tub operating during warmer months:

• Daily usage: 6 hours filtration/circulation
• Season length: 180 days (April–September)
• Annual hours: 6 × 180 = 1,080 hours

Calculation:

• Energy consumption: 2.2 kW × 1,080 hours = 2,376 kWh
• ✅ Annual cost: 2,376 × £0.2635 = £626.07

♨️ Scenario 2: Year-Round Hot Tub/Swim Spa Use

Premium installation with continuous year-round operation:

• Daily usage: 8 hours average (higher in winter months)
• Operating days: 365 days
• Annual hours: 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours

Calculation:

• Energy consumption: 2.2 kW × 2,920 hours = 6,424 kWh
• ✅ Annual cost: 6,424 × £0.2635 = £1,692.72

🏢 Scenario 3: Commercial/Heavy-Duty Use

Commercial spa, therapy centre, holiday let, or high-usage residential:

• Daily usage: 12 hours
• Operating days: 365 days
• Annual hours: 12 × 365 = 4,380 hours

Calculation:

• Energy consumption: 2.2 kW × 4,380 hours = 9,636 kWh
• ✅ Annual cost: 9,636 × £0.2635 = £2,539.09
