One of the downfalls of owning a pool is the big water and energy bills that occur during the swimming season. While the cost may be worth the many benefits of owning a pool, everyone likes to save money. There are ways to make your pool more energy efficient, reducing your energy bill and helping conserve natural resources. Here are some of the top ways to make your pool energy efficient.
- Use your pool cover. Pool covers not only help keep your pool clean, they also can help insulate your pool. This can reduce the energy needed for heating your pool and decrease the amount of evaporation. Use your pool cover whenever your pool is not in use.
- Keep your filters clean. A clean pool filter helps improve the flow and circulation of the pool, putting less strain on your pool pump.
- Efficient pump. Talk to your local pool service about energy-efficient pool pumps that can use less energy. Also, running your cycles on off-peak hours can help reduce energy costs.
- Check your thermostat. Are you warming up your water more than needed? Set your thermostat for your pool heater to decrease heating when not in use. Also, keeping your pool water cooler can help reduce algae growth while reducing your energy costs.
- Keep up with pool maintenance. A well-maintained pool will run more efficiently. Makes sure your pump and other equipment get regular service and that the pool is kept clean for improved efficiency.
Keeping up with pool maintenance, cleaning and proactive efforts to use less energy can make your pool more affordable. Ask your local pool service for more tips on how to save money on your pool energy costs.
