There are plenty of things you can do to save costs when it comes to operating your pool. For instance, if you have water features, conserve energy by turning them off when you are not using the pool or entertaining guests.
Same goes for heated pools. If your pool is heated, you can minimize your operating expenses by lowering the temperature or limiting the use of your pool heater to certain months. This will not only help with energy costs, but with chemical costs because algae and bacteria grow more prevalently in a hot environment.
Ultraviolet light can deplete chlorine levels. So, adding your chlorine at night can elicit better results from your chemicals, requiring you to purchase less in the long run.
Here’s another great nighttime tip…Most energy providers charge more at peak times, so if you run your pool pump at night it will also cost you less!
Robotic pool cleaners can work more efficiently than traditional pool cleaning methods, saving time and money.
Pool covers can reduce evaporation of pool water and the chemicals that are in it. Plus, they simply keep pools cleaner, requiring less cleaning supplies.
Upgrading to a saltwater chlorinator can save you money on chemicals; and upgrading to a cartridge filter, which consumes less water and requires less water pressure to run, will require less power.
Don’t forget that unbalanced pool water can lead to costly repairs. SE Pool Supply & Chemical provides professional pool cleaning services to put a kibosh on all that!
