Advanced Pools, Inc. shares pool energy efficiency tips
Swimming pools are a dream come true for those families who love to swim, entertain and escape the heat right in the comfort of your own backyard. They are not as much of a dream come true when it comes to caring for them and paying all of the associated bills. The swimming pool contractors from Advanced Pools, Inc. share tips for Memphis, Tennessee swimming pool owners on how to have a more energy efficient swimming pool and hot tub.
Here are some steps you can take to reduce the costs of pool ownership: 
- Energy efficient pool equipment will, naturally, lower the costs of operating your swimming pool. The up front costs to invest in newer, more energy efficient equipment will be money you save in the long run on pool operating costs.
- Get in the habit of using a pool cover – – this saves on water evaporation and could also lead to having to use fewer pool chemicals.
- Lower the pool heater when it’s not in use
- If you heat the water, use the pool cover to trap the heat.
- Ask us about rebates or incentives if you upgrade and update your pool equipment
- Make certain that pool equipment you’re using is sized correctly for your pool. Equipment that is either too big or too small for the job will cost you more money to operate
- Using a variable speed pool pump is more energy efficient than a single speed pump.
- Use a solar cover to help heat your pool water — if you want to run the heater less often.
- Install timers on your pool equipment and run your pool pumpo during off peak hours to save money
- Work with a pool contractor who will inspect your pool equipment and make certain it is operating at its highest efficiency
Hot tub energy-saving tips:
- Lower the water temperature by a degree or two
- Add landscaping or a privacy fence to shelter the hot tub from cool water blowing across the top
- Turn the jets off when you’re not using it
- Always use a hot tub cover to trap the heat from the water
- If you’re going on vacation, turn off the electricity to the hot tub and the pool so the pumps aren’t running unnecessarily
