Ways to Make Your Above Ground Pool More Energy Efficient

Make your pool more energy efficient and cut costs on your energy bill in the following ways:

Regulate Your Thermostat Temperature: If your above ground pool as a thermostat, it is best to keep it regulated at 78 degrees. This is the ideal temperature for a good balance between energy efficiency and warmth.

Maintain Water Chemistry: If you properly maintain the water chemistry in your pool, you lessen the demand on your filters to work harder to keep it clean.

Maintain Equipment: You should always keep your pool equipment in good condition so that it runs more effectively, lasts longer, and uses less energy. This includes practicing proper maintenance involving the pump, filter, heater, and more.

Pool Covers: Did you know that up to 70 percent of the heat loss in your pool is a result of evaporation? Using pool covers or thermal blankets to cover your pool will help to significantly reduce evaporation and lock the heat inside your pool, where it belongs.

Windbreaks: Windbreaks (such a trees, fences, walls, and screens) provide shelter and protection from the wind. Implementing a windbreak near your swimming pool will help reduce winds at the surface of your pool and decrease energy consumption related to wind.
