💡 Cost Savings Examples
📍 Scenario: Upgrading from an Older 1.1kW Commercial Pump
Many commercial installations use older, less efficient 1.1kW pumps. The PPG Pump Deluxe 22 delivers equivalent or superior flow with significantly reduced power consumption.
Old 1.1kW pump (year-round hotel operation):
- ❌ Power: 1.1 kW
- ❌ Usage: 14 hours/day × 365 days = 5,110 hours
- ❌ Energy: 1.1 × 5,110 = 5,621 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: 5,621 × £0.27 = £1,517.67
PPG Pump Deluxe 22 Three-Phase:
- ✅ Power: 0.75 kW
- ✅ Energy: 0.75 × 5,110 = 3,832.5 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £1,034.78
💰 Annual Saving: £482.89 📈 5-Year Saving: £2,414.45 💷 10-Year Saving: £4,828.90 ⏱ Typical payback on pump investment: Under 2 years
📍 Scenario: Replacing an Oversized 1.5kW Pump
Older commercial installations often specified oversized pumps. Right-sizing to the efficient Deluxe 22 delivers substantial operational savings.
Old 1.5kW pump (competition pool operation):
- ❌ Power: 1.5 kW
- ❌ Usage: 16 hours/day × 365 days = 5,840 hours
- ❌ Energy: 8,760 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: 8,760 × £0.27 = £2,365.20
PPG Pump Deluxe 22 Three-Phase:
- ✅ Power: 0.75 kW
- ✅ Energy: 4,380 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £1,182.60
💰 Annual Saving: £1,182.60 📈 5-Year Saving: £5,913.00 💷 10-Year Saving: £11,826.00
📍 Scenario: Three-Phase Efficiency Advantage Over Single-Phase
Three-phase motors typically deliver 3-5% greater efficiency than single-phase equivalents due to smoother power delivery and reduced electrical losses.
Comparing 0.75kW three-phase vs single-phase (year-round operation):
Single-phase effective consumption (accounting for lower efficiency):
- ❌ Effective power: ~0.79 kW
- ❌ Annual energy: 0.79 × 5,110 = 4,037 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: £1,089.99
Three-phase consumption:
- ✅ Power: 0.75 kW
- ✅ Annual energy: 3,832.5 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £1,034.78
💵 Annual efficiency saving: £55.21 📈 10-Year saving: £552.10
Additional benefit: Three-phase motors typically last 20-30% longer due to reduced mechanical stress, providing significant long-term value beyond direct energy savings.
📍 Scenario: Adding VFD Control for Maximum Efficiency
The three-phase Deluxe 22 is compatible with Variable Frequency Drives, enabling speed reduction during low-demand periods for substantial additional savings.
Standard operation vs VFD-controlled (hotel pool):
Without VFD (full speed, 14 hours/day):
- Annual energy: 3,832.5 kWh
- Annual cost: £1,034.78
With VFD (reduced speed 8 hours, full speed 6 hours):
- Reduced speed consumption: ~0.35 kW × 8 hours × 365 = 1,022 kWh
- Full speed consumption: 0.75 kW × 6 hours × 365 = 1,642.5 kWh
- Total energy: 2,664.5 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £719.42
💰 Additional VFD saving: £315.36 per year 📈 VFD payback period: Typically 2-3 years
