⭐ Key Features

✅ 0.75 Horsepower Motor – Powerful 0.65kW single-phase motor delivers 16.8 m³/hr maximum flow rate, providing ample circulation for medium-sized residential pools (typically 40,000-60,000 litres) while maintaining reasonable energy consumption for cost-effective operation

✅ Quick Connect Union System – Features 50mm (1.5″) quick-connect barrel unions for both suction and delivery, making installation and routine maintenance simple – remove the pump for servicing without cutting pipes or disturbing plumbing connections

✅ Large 1.5 Litre Strainer Basket – Generously-sized debris collection basket means less frequent cleaning and more continuous running time between maintenance intervals, while the clear inspection lid lets you check basket status at a glance

✅ Secondary Seal Protection – Waterco’s patented secondary seal technology protects your motor investment by capturing any leaks from a worn primary seal and draining them safely away, preventing costly motor damage and significantly extending pump lifespan

✅ High-Grade Mechanical Seal – Incorporates a professional 316 stainless steel spring mechanical seal with carbon/graphite faces, providing excellent corrosion resistance against chlorinated water, salt water chlorination systems, ozone, bromine, and other pool sanitizers

✅ Single-Phase Compatibility – Works with standard UK residential 220-240V electrical supply, eliminating the need for three-phase power connections – straightforward installation with built-in thermal overload protection for motor safety

✅ Engineered Durability – One-piece glass-filled thermoplastic pump body provides exceptional strength and corrosion resistance, while the hydraulically-efficient impeller and diffuser design maximizes flow performance while minimizing energy-wasting turbulence

✅ Fan-Cooled Motor – 303-grade stainless steel motor shaft with efficient cooling fan ensures reliable operation even during extended run times on warm summer days when your pool gets maximum use

💰 Usage Costs & Running Expenses

📊 Annual Running Cost Calculation

Understanding your pump’s operating costs helps you budget accurately and compare options effectively. Here’s the realistic annual cost for the Supastream WRSS071:

Power Consumption: 0.65kW (650 watts)
Typical Usage: 8 hours/day × 180 days (May-October swim season) = 1,440 hours/year
UK Electricity Rate: £0.26 per kWh (average residential rate, Q4 2024)

✅ Annual Running Cost: 0.65kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £243 per year

For Year-Round Operation (pools with heating):
8 hours/day × 365 days = 2,920 hours/year
0.65kW × 2,920 hours × £0.26 = £491 per year

💷 Comparison with Alternative Options

❌ Older 1.0hp Pump (0.82kW):

• Seasonal cost: 0.82kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £307/year
• Extra cost vs. WRSS071: £64 annually
• Over 5 years: £320 wasted on unnecessary power

❌ Oversized 1.25hp Pump (0.88kW):

• Seasonal cost: 0.88kW × 1,440 hours × £0.26 = £329/year
• Extra cost vs. WRSS071: £86 annually
• Over 5 years: £430 wasted on excessive capacity you don’t need

⚡ Energy Efficiency Benefits

The Supastream’s hydraulically-efficient impeller and diffuser design means:

• ✅ Less wasted energy through turbulence
• ✅ Shorter run times needed to maintain water clarity
• ✅ Lower electricity bills compared to older, less efficient designs
• ✅ Reduced carbon footprint for environmentally-conscious pool owners

💡 Smart Timer Tip: Using a timer to run your pump during off-peak hours (if available on your tariff) can save an additional 15-25% on operating costs.

🎯 Real World Applications

🏊‍♂️ Medium-Sized Residential Pools

Perfect for domestic swimming pools in the 40,000-60,000 litre range (roughly 10m × 4m × 1.5m average depth). The 0.75hp motor provides complete water turnover every 3-4 hours, meeting recommended filtration standards while keeping operating costs reasonable for family pool maintenance.

🏡 New Pool Installations

Ideal choice for homeowners building new pools who want reliable, proven technology without over-investing in unnecessary capacity. The quick-connect unions make professional installation straightforward, and the secondary seal protection provides peace of mind that your investment is protected.

🔄 Replacement & Upgrades

Excellent replacement for aging 0.5hp pumps that struggle to maintain adequate circulation, or as a more efficient alternative to oversized 1.0hp+ pumps that waste energy. The standard 50mm unions fit most existing UK pool plumbing configurations without requiring pipe modifications.

🌊 Sand Filter Systems

Well-matched to medium-sized sand filters (typically 500-650mm diameter), providing sufficient flow and pressure for effective backwashing while maintaining steady filtration performance throughout normal operation. The robust design handles the pressure requirements of typical residential filter systems.

☀️ Seasonal Pool Use

For pools used primarily during UK summer months (May-October), the Supastream delivers reliable performance throughout the swimming season. The thermal overload protection ensures safe operation even during extended run times on hot days, while the large strainer basket reduces maintenance during peak usage periods.

🛁 Heated Pools with Modest Requirements

Suitable for pools with basic solar heating or heat pump systems where moderate flow rates are acceptable. While not designed for high-flow applications like swim jets or elaborate water features, it handles standard pool heating circulation requirements effectively.
