Pool/Hot Tub

Tips

• Install a variable speed pool pump. A properly sized variable speed pump can help you save money on your pool’s energy costs.
• Install timers on pool pumps to make sure that they only run the necessary amount of time needed to maintain sanitation and filtration.
• Reduce your pump’s run time in the winter. Reducing run time can result in large energy savings.
• Keep the filters clean. This can help save wear on pumps and reduce operating costs.
• If your pool or spa water is not being used, turning off the heater will result in huge savings.
• If the pool heater is being used, turn down the temperature to turn up your savings.
• Use a solar cover to get free heat from the sun and prevent evaporation. If too much water evaporates, the water temperature drops.
• Cover your hot tub when it is not in use. A cover will keep your water temperature warm, which could save you on heating costs.
