Energy saving audit & review
Our energy saving audit starts with a no-obligation site survey. Our experienced pump consultant will carry out a detailed assessment of your pump station and pump systems, the energy system in place and the amount of time and money that is currently being expended on the system.
Specification & proposal
After the initial survey, we carry out an in-depth assessment of your system using our flow profile analysis tool and energy calculations. This gives us the necessary pressure, friction loss, flow rates and load information we need to match system energy and efficiency on real-time loads. This allows us to establish if your system is already cost-efficient and if there are specific areas to recommend upgrades to optimise your system to match real-time loads or to identify usage data in the field or efficiency that reduces wear and tear on the pump. As part of this diagnosis, we identify the most energy-efficient solution for your system and provide a quotation to supply and install both detailed energy-saving calculations and the payback on your investment.
Installation & commission
Following your acceptance of the quotation, we will manufacture, supply, install and optimise the energy pumps solution. We install in a way that ensures all equipment works to its optimum performance. We work to minimise your downtime during the installation because we know how important continuity is to all organisations. Our team will provide you with a caring and friendly service.
Payback & ongoing savings
Preventative maintenance and care keeps your system at full performance and we offer a range of Proserv maintenance packages to give you complete peace of mind and ensure your system remains reliable, energy-efficient and continues to deliver ongoing savings to you.
Facts About Energy Saving Pumps
Pumps currently account for 20% of the world’s total electricity consumption
Most pumps waste energy 95% of the time
Our energy saving pumps can save you around 50% on energy costs
Our customers have benefited from up to £250,000 savings
Typical pump energy savings payback is between 6 Months – 3 Years
With the current need to reduce energy consumption and the big drive to save the planet, we’d like to inform you how Dura Pump is doing our bit.
Our energy savings audits inform customers on how we can save them money and energy on their pumps and pump systems.
You may be thinking that this isn’t possible, however we are confident that if there is a saving to be had, we will find it.
Having been in the pump industry for many years, we know how to optimise pumps for energy savings and address the technical nature of the energy savings issue.
This NHS example demonstrates how systems can be optimised to save both energy and running costs
- The hospital had two 37kW belt driven pumps. One pump was running 24/7, alternating duty unless extra flow was needed, and they would both run together.
- The energy these pumps used totalled 291,708 kWh of electricity per year.
- After assessing the system, we specified two direct drive pumps to replace the existing belt drive pumps. The variable speed of these new pumps is controlled by an inverter and linked to them is a sensor which monitors the return temperature of the water regulating the speed of the pumps and the return temperature.
- The new pumps specified were 18.5 kW with an estimated energy saving of 40% from the inverters. This reduced the kWh used per year from 291,708 kWh to 97,216 kWh, saving 194,472 kWh of electricity. All this by simply changing the pumps and adding inverters.
Before
After
- Total job cost for the hospital = £35,000.
- Cost saving per year = £48,603 (194,412 kWh x 0.25p per kWh), meaning that the job paid for itself within 9 months.
- This hospital saw an ROI in under a year. In five years, the customer will have saved over £240,000.
- From a sustainability point of view, the CO2 savings on this job = 45,297.99 kg of CO2 (0.233 kg of CO2 per kWh x 194,412 kWh), meaning that this project saved 45 tonnes of CO2 from entering the atmosphere each year.

Pump Energy Savings FAQs
You can save more than 60% on power use by changing. Contact us to find out how.
If the motor is 2.2kW+, savings of 17-75% are often seen by simply adding an inverter. Contact us to find out how.
If your system has a drop of pressure at peak use, you may benefit from switching to a variable speed system. Contact us to find out more.
If you have a 0.55kW+ heating pump, it may be eligible for inverter control. Contact us for further information.
Inverter control can improve the efficiency and flexibility of your motors, especially in variable-load applications. Contact us to find out how.
Outdated controls can lead to inefficiencies. Upgrading offers the chance to optimise energy use. Contact us to find out how.
Process cooling pumps often run at full speed unnecessarily. Significant energy can be saved using control systems. Contact us to find out how.
Your pumps may be oversized or inefficient for the new demand profile. Savings opportunities exist. Contact us to find out how.
Upgrading the logic or control algorithm can greatly improve efficiency and responsiveness. Contact us to find out how.
Running pumps during non-operational hours often leads to wasted energy. Contact us to discuss further.
