How this is calculated
- ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure. We estimate the annual energy use ourselves, assuming 8 hours a day at its low-speed setting, every day of the year. Your use will differ, so treat the cost as a guide.
- Yearly cost = annual kWh × your rate. Monthly cost is the yearly cost divided by 12, a flat average. Five-year cost keeps the rate constant; prices will change.
- Statewide averages are not your utility’s tariff. Use your bill’s rate for a closer number.
- We do not estimate watts or hourly cost: the source data does not include them.

Frequently asked questions
How much electricity does the FLOWORKS SPP1515VS use?
ENERGY STAR lists the power this model draws but no yearly figure, so we estimate about 181.9 kWh per year, assuming 8 hours a day at its low-speed setting, every day of the year. Your use will differ with the pool size, how many hours a day the pump runs and the months your pool is open.
How much does it cost to run?
At statewide average residential prices, the listed annual use costs about $23.14 in Nevada and $85.82 in Hawaii (EIA, 2026-08). Your own utility rate may be different; enter it in the calculator.
How does the FLOWORKS SPP1515VS compare with similar models?
Among 35 ENERGY STAR certified above-ground (non-self-priming) pool filter pump models with a similar rated horsepower, it ranks 1st lowest in annual energy use. Its 181.9 kWh per year is 18% below the median of 221 kWh.
What does the weighted energy factor mean?
It is thousands of gallons of water moved per kWh across the pump's speeds, so a higher number means a lower running cost. This model is listed at 12.8 kgal/kWh.
