energy saving tips



To support your efforts to make your pool and spa as economical and eco-friendly as possible, below are some changes you can make that help conserve energy and water while reducing your operating costs.

Reduce heat loss by using a pool cover. Your energy savings can be 50-70%.

Fencing, hedges and landscaping that shelter your pool from prevailing winds will further reduce heat loss.

If you use your pool only on weekends, reduce your heater or heat pump thermostat settings by 8-10 degree during the week.

When leaving for vacation for more than a week, unless freezing temperatures are expected, turn off the pool heater or heat pump.

According to the American Red Cross, the most healthful swimming temperature is 78 degree F. Reducing your heater or heat pump thermostat to maintain a 78 degree or lower temperature will also help conserve energy.

Reduce pump speed to reduce energy use. A slower pump reduces power consumption.

For good water maintenance, circulate water through a filter only once per day. Additional cycles tend to waste energy.

Run your pool`s filtration system during off-peak hours when electricity demand is lower – generally between 8pm and 10am.

Keep intake grates clear of debris. Clogged drains require the pump to work harder.

To obtain maximum filtration and energy efficiency, clean your filter regularly
