💧 PPG Pump Deluxe Eco VS 1.2KW 1 Phase Variable Speed Pool Pump

⭐ The Next-Generation Energy-Saving Powerhouse – Save Up to 80% on Running Costs While Delivering Exceptional Performance

📋 Product Overview

The PPG Pump Deluxe Eco VS 1.2KW represents the pinnacle of variable speed pool pump technology, developed in collaboration with renowned German manufacturer Speck Pumpen. As the successor to the legendary Badu 90 – the industry benchmark for reliability, efficiency, and quiet operation – this advanced pump combines proven engineering excellence with cutting-edge variable speed technology.

Unlike traditional single-speed pumps that run at full power regardless of need, the Deluxe Eco VS intelligently adjusts its output to match your pool’s requirements at different times. This smart approach to circulation delivers optimal performance while dramatically reducing energy consumption – potentially saving up to 80% on electricity costs compared to conventional pumps.

Engineered with a powerful 1.2KW single-phase motor and impressive flow rate of up to 31m³/h, this pump provides substantial circulation capacity when needed, yet whispers quietly during normal filtration cycles. Whether you’re upgrading from an older pump or installing a new system, the PPG Pump Deluxe Eco VS offers the perfect balance of performance, efficiency, and value.

💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding your pump’s running costs is essential for making an informed purchasing decision. The PPG Pump Deluxe Eco VS delivers exceptional savings through its intelligent variable speed operation.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Current UK Electricity Rate: £0.26 per kWh (UK average, Q4 2025 – Ofgem Price Cap)

The variable speed capability means this pump typically operates at reduced power during normal filtration, only ramping up to full power for specific tasks like backwashing.

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool (6 months operation)

Low-Speed Filtration (typical daily use at ~40% power = 0.48kW)

• Daily runtime: 8 hours
• Season length: 180 days (April – September)
• Annual hours: 1,440 hours
• Power consumption at typical speed: 0.48kW

✅ Annual Running Cost: 0.48kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £179.71 per year

Compared to Traditional Single-Speed Pump (1.5kW constant):

❌ Old pump: 1.5kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £561.60 per year

💰 Annual Saving: £381.89 (68% reduction)

♨️ Scenario 2: Year-Round Heated Pool (12 months operation)

Variable Speed Operation Profile:

• Low speed (0.48kW): 6 hours/day × 365 days = 2,190 hours
• Medium speed (0.75kW): 2 hours/day × 365 days = 730 hours

✅ Annual Running Cost:

• Low speed: 0.48kW × 2,190 × £0.26 = £273.31
• Medium speed: 0.75kW × 730 × £0.26 = £142.35
• Total: £415.66 per year

Compared to Traditional Single-Speed Pump (1.5kW constant):

❌ Old pump: 1.5kW × 2,920 hours × £0.26 = £1,138.80 per year

💰 Annual Saving: £723.14 (63% reduction)

🏢 Scenario 3: Commercial/Extended Operation (10 hours daily, year-round)

Variable Speed Operation Profile:

• Low speed (0.48kW): 8 hours/day × 365 days = 2,920 hours
• High speed (1.2kW): 2 hours/day × 365 days = 730 hours (backwash, water features)

✅ Annual Running Cost:

• Low speed: 0.48kW × 2,920 × £0.26 = £364.42
• High speed: 1.2kW × 730 × £0.26 = £227.76
• Total: £592.18 per year

Compared to Traditional 2.2kW Commercial Pump:

❌ Old pump: 2.2kW × 3,650 hours × £0.26 = £2,087.80 per year

💰 Annual Saving: £1,495.62 (72% reduction)

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications

🏊‍♂️ Residential Swimming Pools

The ideal choice for domestic pools up to 80m³. The variable speed capability means quiet operation during daytime use, with the pump barely audible from the poolside. Perfect for pools located near living areas or bedrooms where noise reduction is essential.

🔄 Pump Upgrade & Replacement

Designed as a direct replacement for older single-speed pumps including the Badu 90 series. The compact installation length and standard connection sizes make retrofitting straightforward, often requiring minimal pipework modifications. Pool owners can immediately benefit from reduced running costs and quieter operation.

♨️ Pools with Salt Chlorination

Engineered specifically for saltwater environments with proven compatibility up to 0.5% salt concentration. The corrosion-resistant materials and specially designed mechanical seal ensure reliable operation even with continuous salt exposure, making it the perfect partner for salt electrolysis systems.

🌊 Water Features & Spillways

The high-flow capability (31m³/h) provides ample power for running water features, spillways, or infinity edges. The variable speed function allows precise flow adjustment to achieve the desired visual effect whilst minimising energy consumption during quieter periods.

☀️ Solar-Heated Pool Systems

Variable speed operation perfectly complements solar heating systems. The pump can run at lower speeds during initial warm-up periods and increase flow rate as the solar panels reach optimal temperature, maximising heat transfer efficiency whilst minimising electricity usage.

💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Upgrading from a 15-Year-Old Single-Speed Pump

Many pool owners are still running older single-speed pumps that consume 1.5kW or more at constant full power.

Current Situation (Old 1.5kW pump, seasonal use): ❌ Annual running cost: 1.5kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £561.60

After Upgrade to PPG Deluxe Eco VS: ✅ Annual running cost (variable speed): £179.71

💰 First Year Saving: £381.89 📈 5-Year Saving: £1,909.45 ⏱ Investment Payback: Typically 2-3 seasons

📍 Scenario: Comparing to Budget Single-Speed Alternatives

While cheaper single-speed pumps may have lower purchase prices, the total cost of ownership tells a different story.

Budget 1.1kW Single-Speed Pump (year-round pool): ❌ Annual cost: 1.1kW × 2,920 hours × £0.26 = £834.68

PPG Deluxe Eco VS (variable speed): ✅ Annual cost: £415.66

💰 Annual Saving: £419.02 📈 3-Year Saving: £1,257.06 📊 The energy savings alone can pay for the pump upgrade within 2-3 years

📍 Scenario: Commercial Pool Installation ROI

For commercial operators running pumps 10+ hours daily, the savings become even more significant.

Traditional 2.2kW Commercial Pump: ❌ Annual cost: £2,087.80

PPG Deluxe Eco VS (variable speed profile): ✅ Annual cost: £592.18

💷 Annual Saving: £1,495.62 📈 5-Year Saving: £7,478.10 ⏱ ROI achieved in first season for most commercial applications
