| Turnover rate through filter system | 2400 gallons per hour for just 1.5 cents @ 40 GPM | 3600 gallons per hour for 10.2 cents @ 60 GPM | ||
| Cost to filter continuously 24 hours in one day | $0.37 | $2.42 | ||
| Normal operation gallons filtered in 24 hours* | 57,600 @ 24 hrs/day | 21,600 @ 6 hrs/day | ||

| Cost to filter 100 gallons | $0.06 | $0.28 |
*6 hrs / day is a typical number of hours for a non circulation pump spa to run to keep the water clean. Wellis spas and Vita spas that include a 24 hour circulation keep spa water cleaner with less effort for almost $200/yr less.
These specially designed high efficiency, high flow circulation pumps will save you at least $85.00 per year on electricity (not factoring in the savings gained by capturing 100% of the friction heat) while at the same time providing 63% better filtration than a spa the uses low speed of one of the jet pumps. This better filtration will also save you money on chemicals and keep your water much cleaner with much less effort.
As you can see, large powerful jet pumps are not designed to filter water in an energy efficient manner. Their purpose is to pump lots of water for powerful jet action. You can see how the small extra cost of a circulation pump up front will save you money in the operation of your spa while at the same time keep your water much cleaner and safer. Great 24 hour filtration will also save money on chemicals by removing organics from the spa much faster than a pump that only comes on from time to time or runs only 6 hours each day as is the case with a non circulation pump spa. The above calculations are based on $0.10 per KWH. Flow rates were obtained via manufacturers specification data.
The special Circ-Master pump takes 24-hour filtration to a new level. Higher 40 GPM allows the Circ-Master to operate a high-flow heating system resulting in increased heating efficiency and up to four times the filtration. It is powerful, efficient and quiet. This Wellis and Vita spa circ pump systems provide maximum hydrotherapy performance and energy efficiency. Our consistent reliability keeps service calls to a minimum. This is all part of our commitment to total customer satisfaction.

Gecko's Circ-Master pump takes 24-hour filtration to a new level. Higher GPM allows the Circ-Master to operate a high-flow heating system resulting in increased heating efficiency and up to four times the filtration. It's powerful, efficient, and quiet. When you sell spas with Aqua-Flo by Gecko pumps, you are selling maximum hydrotherapy performance and energy efficiency. Gecko's consistent reliability keeps service calls to a minimum. This is all part of our commitment to total customer satisfaction. |
