💡 Cost Savings Examples

📍 Scenario: Replacing an Older 1.0 HP Single-Speed Pump

Many older pool pumps consume significantly more power than their rated output suggests. If upgrading from a typical older 1.0 HP pump drawing approximately 1.5 kW:

❌ Old Pump Annual Cost (1.5 kW, 8 hrs/day, 180 days):

• Energy: 1.5 kW × 1,440 hours = 2,160 kWh
• Cost: 2,160 × £0.2635 = £569.16/year

✅ BADU EasyFit 15 Annual Cost (0.97 kW, same usage):

• Energy: 0.97 kW × 1,440 hours = 1,396.8 kWh
• Cost: 1,396.8 × £0.2635 = £368.06/year

💵 Annual Saving: £201.10 📈 5-Year Saving: £1,005.50 ⏱️ Payback Period: Typically 2-3 years on pump cost alone

📍 Scenario: Avoiding Costly Plumbing Modifications

When replacing a discontinued pump brand, installers typically quote £150–£400 for plumbing modifications to accommodate different connection patterns.

❌ Standard replacement with plumbing work:

• New pump: £XXX
• Plumber call-out and modifications: £200–£400
• Downtime: 1–2 days

✅ BADU EasyFit 15 with matching connection set:

• Pump with correct adapters included
• Direct bolt-on replacement
• Installation time: 1–2 hours

💷 Installation Saving: £200–£400

📍 Scenario: Comparison with Competitor 0.75 HP Pumps

Many comparable pumps in the 0.65–0.75 kW class consume more power while delivering similar performance:

Pump	Power Input	Annual Cost*	Difference
❌ Typical Competitor A	1.10 kW	£417.09	+£49.03
❌ Typical Competitor B	1.05 kW	£398.13	+£30.07
✅ BADU EasyFit 15	0.97 kW	£368.06	Baseline

*Based on 1,440 hours annual operation at £0.2635/kWh

📊 Choosing the EasyFit 15 could save £30–£50 annually compared to less efficient alternatives
