The perception that swimming pools are significant energy consumers has been altered by recent technological advancements, which have reduced the average pool’s electricity usage by about 66%. These innovations focus on efficiency and sustainability, ensuring that owning a pool is more eco-friendly and cost-effective than ever before. Here’s how:
Energy-Efficient Variable Speed Pumps: These pumps can use up to 75% less electricity compared to their single-speed counterparts. By operating longer at lower speeds, they not only save energy but also keep the pool cleaner and clearer with constant, gentle circulation.
Energy-Efficient Heat Pumps: Opting for a heat pump over traditional gas heaters can lead to energy savings of up to 80%. These pumps efficiently extract heat from the air to warm the pool, significantly extending the swimming season with minimal energy use and cost.
Automatic Covers :With the simple press of a button, automatic covers keep unwanted guests and debris out of your pool. They also play a crucial role in heat retention, reducing the need for heating and, consequently, energy consumption. Solar blankets take this a step further by harnessing the sun’s energy to warm the pool, also reducing the demand on heating systems and chemical usage through minimized evaporation.
