💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding your pump’s running costs is essential for budgeting and comparing value against other options. Here’s a detailed breakdown based on the EasyFit 12’s actual power consumption.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Power Consumption: 0.69 kW (input power P1) UK Electricity Rate: £0.26 per kWh (Ofgem price cap Q4 2025)

---

🏊 Scenario 1: Seasonal Residential Pool (6 Months Operation)

For a typical UK outdoor pool running during the swimming season:

• Daily Operation: 8 hours per day
• Season Length: 180 days (April – September)
• Annual Hours: 8 × 180 = 1,440 hours

💰 Annual Running Cost Calculation:

• Energy Used: 0.69 kW × 1,440 hours = 993.6 kWh
• ✅ Annual Cost: 993.6 × £0.26 = £258.34

That’s just £1.44 per day during the swimming season!

---

♨️ Scenario 2: Year-Round Hot Tub or Indoor Pool

For heated spas and indoor installations requiring continuous circulation:

• Daily Operation: 6 hours per day
• Season Length: 365 days (year-round)
• Annual Hours: 6 × 365 = 2,190 hours

💰 Annual Running Cost Calculation:

• Energy Used: 0.69 kW × 2,190 hours = 1,511.1 kWh
• ✅ Annual Cost: 1,511.1 × £0.26 = £392.89

Approximately £32.74 per month for continuous year-round operation.

🏢 Scenario 3: Extended Commercial Use

For commercial pools, holiday parks, or facilities with longer operating hours:

• Daily Operation: 12 hours per day
• Season Length: 250 days
• Annual Hours: 12 × 250 = 3,000 hours

💰 Annual Running Cost Calculation:

• Energy Used: 0.69 kW × 3,000 hours = 2,070 kWh
• ✅ Annual Cost: 2,070 × £0.26 = £538.20

⚡ Energy Efficiency Comparison

The EasyFit 12’s power input of 0.69 kW compares favourably against many competitor pumps in the same flow rate category:

Pump Type	Power Input	Annual Cost (1,440 hrs)	Difference
✅ Speck EasyFit 12	0.69 kW	£258.34	—
❌ Typical 0.75 kW pump	0.95 kW	£355.68	+£97.34/year
❌ Older 1.0 HP pumps	1.10 kW	£412.10	+£153.76/year
❌ Aging inefficient models	1.30 kW	£487.24	+£228.90/year

💵 Potential Savings: Upgrading from an older 1.0 HP pump to the EasyFit 12 could save approximately £153 per year in electricity costs alone.

🎯 Real World Examples & Applications
