💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

Understanding the true cost of operating your pool pump is essential for budgeting and assessing the value of your investment. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the EasyFit 29’s running costs based on current UK energy prices.

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Energy Rate Used: £0.2635 per kWh (UK Energy Price Cap, October-December 2025)

Power Input: 1.70 kW

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

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

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.70 kW × 1,440 hours = 2,448 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 2,448 × £0.2635 = £645.05

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

• Daily Operation: 8 hours/day
• Operating Days: 365 days
• Annual Running Hours: 8 × 365 = 2,920 hours

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.70 kW × 2,920 hours = 4,964 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 4,964 × £0.2635 = £1,308.01

---

🏢 Scenario 3: Commercial Pool (Extended Operation)

• Daily Operation: 12 hours/day
• Operating Days: 365 days
• Annual Running Hours: 12 × 365 = 4,380 hours

Calculation:

• Energy Consumption: 1.70 kW × 4,380 hours = 7,446 kWh/year
• ✅ Annual Running Cost: 7,446 × £0.2635 = £1,962.02
