🎯 Real-World Applications
🏊 Large Residential Swimming Pools
The PPG Pump Deluxe 27 is perfectly sized for substantial residential pools from 90m³ to 135m³. With a 27 m³/h flow rate, it provides complete water turnover every 3.5-5 hours – meeting or exceeding industry recommendations for optimal water quality in larger volumes.
🛁 Pool & Spa Combinations with Multiple Features
When your installation includes a main pool, integrated spa, and additional water features, the Deluxe 27 provides the flow headroom to maintain adequate circulation across all elements simultaneously. No compromises on filtration when features are running.
🌊 Waterfall & Water Feature Systems
Waterfalls, sheer descents, fountains, deck jets, and laminar flows all demand significant water volume. The 27 m³/h capacity ensures spectacular feature operation whilst maintaining essential filtration circulation – no need to choose between aesthetics and water quality.
🔄 Demanding Filtration Requirements
Pools with heavy bather loads, located near mature trees, or subject to significant environmental debris benefit from higher flow rates. The Deluxe 27 ensures filtration systems work at peak efficiency even in challenging conditions.
🏠 Premium Single-Phase Installations
For luxury homes without three-phase power supply, the Deluxe 27 delivers the maximum flow capacity available from a single-phase pump. Commercial-grade German engineering accessible through standard residential electrical connection.
☀️ Salt-Chlorinated Pools
With specific engineering for salt electrolysis compatibility up to 0.5% concentration, the Deluxe 27 is ideal for the increasingly popular salt chlorination systems that deliver softer water, reduced chemical handling, and lower ongoing sanitisation costs.
💡 Cost Savings Examples
📍 Scenario: Upgrading from an Older 1.5kW Pump
Many large residential pools were originally equipped with inefficient 1.5kW pumps. The PPG Pump Deluxe 27 delivers comparable or superior flow with significantly lower power consumption.
Old 1.5kW pump annual cost:
- ❌ Power: 1.5 kW
- ❌ Usage: 8 hours/day × 180 days = 1,440 hours
- ❌ Energy: 1.5 × 1,440 = 2,160 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: 2,160 × £0.26 = £561.60
PPG Pump Deluxe 27 annual cost:
- ✅ Power: 1 kW
- ✅ Energy: 1 × 1,440 = 1,440 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: 1,440 × £0.26 = £374.40
💰 Annual Saving: £187.20 📈 5-Year Saving: £936.00 💷 10-Year Saving: £1,872.00 ⏱ Typical payback on efficiency: 2-3 years
📍 Scenario: Replacing an Oversized 2.2kW Pump
Older large pool installations often specified dramatically oversized pumps. Right-sizing to the efficient Deluxe 27 delivers substantial savings.
Old 2.2kW pump (extended season):
- ❌ Power: 2.2 kW
- ❌ Usage: 8 hours/day × 245 days = 1,960 hours
- ❌ Energy: 4,312 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: 4,312 × £0.26 = £1,121.12
PPG Pump Deluxe 27:
- ✅ Power: 1 kW
- ✅ Energy: 1,960 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £509.60
💰 Annual Saving: £611.52 📈 5-Year Saving: £3,057.60 💷 10-Year Saving: £6,115.20
📍 Scenario: Comparing Flow Efficiency vs Standard 1kW Pumps
Even against pumps of equivalent power rating, the PPG Pump Deluxe 27’s superior hydraulic efficiency delivers significantly more flow per kWh consumed.
Standard 1kW pump:
- Flow rate: Typically 18-22 m³/h at 8m head
- Power: 1 kW
PPG Pump Deluxe 27:
- ✅ Flow rate: 27 m³/h at 8m head
- ✅ Power: 1 kW
📊 Flow improvement: 23-50% more water moved for identical energy cost
This means:
- ✅ Faster water turnover – Better filtration efficiency
- ✅ Reduced pump runtime possible – Potential to run fewer hours whilst achieving same turnover
- ✅ More feature capacity – Run water features without compromising filtration
- ✅ Future-proofing – Capacity for pool modifications or additions
📍 Scenario: Runtime Reduction Through Superior Efficiency
The Deluxe 27’s higher flow rate potentially allows reduced daily runtime whilst achieving identical water turnover.
Standard 20 m³/h pump on 100m³ pool (3 turnovers/day):
- Required volume: 300 m³/day
- ❌ Runtime needed: 15 hours/day
- ❌ Energy: 1 kW × 15 hours × 180 days = 2,700 kWh
- ❌ Annual cost: £702.00
PPG Pump Deluxe 27 on same pool:
- Required volume: 300 m³/day
- ✅ Runtime needed: 11.1 hours/day
- ✅ Energy: 1 kW × 11.1 hours × 180 days = 1,998 kWh
- ✅ Annual cost: £519.48
💰 Annual Saving: £182.52 📈 5-Year Saving: £912.60
Plus extended pump lifespan from reduced operating hours
📍 Scenario: 10-Year Total Cost of Ownership
Premium pumps deliver value through longevity. Here’s a realistic comparison:
Budget 1kW pump approach:
- Initial pump: £280
- Replacement at year 4: £320
- Replacement at year 8: £350
- Energy (10 years @ £510/year with lower efficiency): £5,100
