Energy Efficient Pool Equipment
Last month we featured information on refurbishing your pool - particularly if it is over 10 years old. Another area of pool maintenance that requires attention is the amount of energy old equipment uses.
Whether building a new pool or remodeling your existing pool, today's pumps, generators and heaters are built better and more efficient than previous versions. And that means $$$ in your pocket!
The Eco Star pump is one of many brands we have available. In particular, the Eco Star has 7 speeds to fine tune the circulation of water through the pool. If you can dial down more than 2 speeds your savings will go up! Sometimes the pump won't be able to run at the lowest speeds because of the amount or variety of accessories. But in some cases, you may realize savings of up to 60% over older models.
A Salt Generator is another way to create a more efficient pool environment. The myth surrounding salt generators is that there is no chlorine with a salt system. The truth of the matter is, the salt generator produces it's own chlorine - using salt - at a low constant dose while the pump is running. This creates soft water which is better for skin, hair color, no red burning eyes and less chemicals absorbed by your body.
An electric Heat Pump is more efficient than gas pumps. You can save up to 80% in energy. The cost to heat an average 325 sf pool could run over $200 per month with a gas pump. The energy efficient pump, covered with a blanket at night, will cost approximately $110 per month. These new Heat Pumps are also longer lasting because the plastic casing and exposed parts are specially formulated for our Florida environment, saving you more money over the life of the unit.
If you would like to have us go over energy calculations and savings for new units vs your existing equipment, please give us a call and we'd be happy to help you.
Sincerely,
Pete Coccaro
