We all want a sparkling blue pool but should still focus on being environmentally conscious. Check out our list of the top ten ways to be a green pool owner.
1. Make the switch to a solar-powered heater
It's never clear whether or not using a pool heater is environmentally friendly. On one side, the less energy you use, the more environmentally friendly you are. A heater, on the other hand, allows you to use your pool for longer periods of time (or even the entire year).
Using the sun's energy will not only save you energy, but it will also save you money on your monthly electricity bills. Although converting to a solar heater will require an initial investment, the benefits will outweigh the costs. The sun's heat is infinitely renewable, and it will always be free.
2. Make Use of a Pool Cleaning Robot
Robotic pool cleaners are environmentally friendly for many reasons. For one, they minimize the number of chemical cleaners used in your pool. Second, they cut down on the number of times you need to clean and replace your pool filter. Third, they are over 90% more effective than conventional pool filtration systems and operate for less than five cents per hour.
3. Make Your Pumps Work with A Timer
Most circulation pumps work more often than they should, wasting energy and costing you more money than they are worth.
According to Energy.gov, you can only operate your pump for six hours a day, which should be enough if your pump is sized appropriately for the volume of your pool.
However, turning it on and off on a regular basis can be inconvenient. This either causes your pump to run inefficiently or causes your pool's circulation to suffer. Adding an automatic time clock to your pump system is the most efficient way to ensure that your water is filtered on a regular basis without wasting electricity.
