💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding your pump’s operating costs is essential for budgeting and appreciating the value of energy-efficient equipment. Here’s a detailed breakdown based on the PPG Pump Deluxe 47’s specifications and current UK energy prices.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635 per kWh (UK Price Cap Q4 2025, Ofgem)

Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Use 🏊‍♂️

• Power consumption: 2.2 kW
• Daily operation: 8 hours
• Swimming season: 180 days (April – September)
• Annual hours: 8 × 180 = 1,440 hours

✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.2 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.2635 = £834.29 per year Monthly cost during season: £138.72

Scenario 2: Year-Round Heated Pool ♨️

• Power consumption: 2.2 kW
• Daily operation: 10 hours
• Annual operation: 365 days
• Annual hours: 10 × 365 = 3,650 hours

✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.2 kW × 3,650 hours × £0.2635 = £2,116.14 per year Monthly cost: £176.35

Scenario 3: Commercial/Extended Operation 🏢

• Power consumption: 2.2 kW
• Daily operation: 12 hours
• Annual operation: 365 days
• Annual hours: 12 × 365 = 4,380 hours

✅ Annual Running Cost: 2.2 kW × 4,380 hours × £0.2635 = £2,539.37 per year Monthly cost: £211.61

🎯 Real World Applications

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Upgrading from an Older 3kW Single-Speed Pump

Many pool owners are still running older, less efficient pumps that consume significantly more energy for similar output.

❌ Old 3kW Pump Running Costs (Seasonal Use):

• 3.0 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.2635 = £1,138.32/year

✅ PPG Pump Deluxe 47 Running Costs (Seasonal Use):

• 2.2 kW × 1,440 hours × £0.2635 = £834.29/year

💰 Annual Saving: £304.03 📈 5-Year Saving: £1,520.15

📍 Scenario: Comparing Against Competitor 2.5kW Pumps

Many comparable flow-rate pumps require 2.5kW or more to achieve similar performance.

❌ Competitor 2.5kW Pump (Year-Round Operation):

• 2.5 kW × 3,650 hours × £0.2635 = £2,404.69/year

✅ PPG Pump Deluxe 47 (Year-Round Operation):

• 2.2 kW × 3,650 hours × £0.2635 = £2,116.14/year

💰 Annual Saving: £288.55 📈 3-Year Saving: £865.65

📍 Scenario: Variable Speed Consideration

For maximum energy savings, consider the PPG Pump Deluxe Eco VS (variable speed version) which can reduce running costs by up to 70% during standard filtration by operating at lower speeds when full flow isn’t required.

⚡ Potential VS Savings:

• Standard filtration at 50% speed uses approximately 12.5% of full power
• Combined with full-speed backwashing = average 60-70% reduction in energy costs
