5 Tips to Save Money on Your Swimming Pool

save money on swimming pool

Stop Growing Up Your Power 💵 Bills 

If it’s that time of the year when we would start using our swimming pools on a regular basis then heating systems would be running (if you’re using them), and lots of topping up of pool water and filters are on for longer.

The five tips to assist you to save money on the operating costs of your swimming pool this summer are mentioned below.

 

  • Often Clean Filter Baskets

If the filters are blocked, it will put a lot of stress on the pumps and thereby lower the efficiency of the motors. Inspect and clean the filter baskets every few days if you’re in a region where lots of leaves are dropping into the pool. This assists the pumps and motor work in a better way and helps in lengthening equipment life.

 

  • Inspect Filter Times Regularly

On your energy bill, if you have off-peak charges available then consider running the pool pump during those hours to lower the cost. Nonetheless, before you change times, make sure you consider your neighbors because the noise of the pumps running during the night may not be acceptable.

You also need to examine that the filter only runs for the number of hours it really needs to, many runs for longer than required. Indeed, timers are cheap to buy and simple to install. Suppose, you don’t possess a timer, it is worth considering getting one so as to program it according to your requirements.

 

  • Pool Heating Systems

Remember to use your solar heater when the sun is out to heat the water during the daytime and not during the night. In order to save a bit more, consider reducing the temperature by a degree or two so that it has less work to do. In this way, solar pool heating systems will help you to reduce the cost significantly.

 

  • Saving Precious Water

Topping up your pool water can add considerable costs to your water bills. It is a good thing to use a pool cover to lower the loss from evaporation and dissuade children from splashing and diving repeatedly as it can drain your pool water rapidly.

In case, you have a rainwater tank, use it to top up your pool. And if you don’t have a rainwater tank, think of buying one. As water prices are increasing more quickly than electricity, it’s really worth the investment.

 

  • Always Use a Pool Cover

In swimming pools, evaporation is a big concern and by simply using a pool cover, you can lower your water evaporation by up to 90%. Secondly, the cover aids the temperature and maintains it at around 6C to 8C higher and keeps the water cleaner. It makes it warmer to get into and lowers heating system costs. If you own a cover, make sure you use it. If you don’t have them, some water authorities still provide discounts to help with the cost of installing them.

What a great team, Sunny and Kirsty. Very professional and extremely knowledgeable. The installation was completed with minimal fuss in a narrow restricted access location. He then returned a couple of weeks later to install a deflector at which time I was able to thank Sunny for the way the way our new heat pump pool heater achieved to desired high temperatures required for my hydrotherapy.Thanks again guys, I can’t recommend you more highly and have referred you to friends who have seen the work and the excellent results.John

My house needs the replacement of leaking old pool solar panels and Ascon pool highly recommended to contact Sunny from Thermo Pools. Sunny came and checked and quoted and installed new solar panels within a few weeks. Very transparent, accurate and quick!!! Additionally, Sunny is very patient and explained every details about how to use the solar pool heating system. So happy with the new solar panels and I will very highly recommend Sunny for any solar pool heating problems and issues.

We had a fantastic experience with Sunny at Thermo Pools. During a very busy period (it became hot suddenly and our solar was busted), he came out to give us a quote within a day, provided a solution and installed it within a couple of weeks. He is so friendly and professional, and our pool temp improved very quickly. He and Kirsty provided great communication throughout the process. We won't hesitate to use Thermo Pools in the future.

We have had a Thermo Pools solar heating system for the past 20 years and it has worked well the entire time. It has extended the swimming season for ourselves, our children & now our grandchildren. Recently we needed a new salt chlorinator & filter. Sunny was very prompt to quote, supply and install the equipment. We were extremely happy with his workmanship and we would highly recommend Thermo Pools for any pool heating needs & pool equipment.

Purchasing solar heating for our pool from Sunny was one of the best decisions we’ve made. He gave us a great price, was super reliable and worked around the clock to fit me in before New Years. If you want a competitive price as well as professional and reliable work of the highest standard look no further. I highly recommend Sunny and his team without any hesitation whatsoever. He even checked in with me regularly after installation to ensure I was happy with the product, he’s the best!

Thermo Pools is a great company to deal with. I have dealt with them now for a number of years. Their work is top notch. They deliver exactly what they promise. They are also very speedy in getting back to you and completing jobs. Their communication is excellent and their pricing very fair. They have always gone out of their way to make sure my pool is perfect and warm and it is appreciated. I recommend using them and their products strongly. I have had them install an electrical heat pump and it is excellent. They put solar panels on my brother in laws house and he was also super happy with the job.

Thermo Pools installed a solar pool system on the roof some nine years ago ,and recently i had to have it relocated to another roof area due to having electricity solar panels installed.I contacted Sunny to do the work just before Christmas and within a very reasonable time frame considering how the weather has been of late he and his assistant came out,did the job without any fuss and drama just like last time.Thermo Pools and Sunny are a great example of good old fashion service and quality workmanship.I too highly recommend Thermo Pools.

We purchased a property with a thermo pools solar pool heater that was installed late 90s. Had to change the pump once, but it is still going strong and keeping the pool at a nice temp. Whilst leasing our place, tenants had broken the wires on the controller. I called Sunny and he was there next day and fixed it in a jiffy. Good as new! Great product and service.

Sunny @ Thermo Pools was awesome.

I highly recommend Thermo pools solar heating. Sunny installed my pool solar heating at my property in Sydney and i was really happy with the service and price of the system. I looked into other businesses before going with Thermo pools and was assured they were the guys for the job knowing the product is quality, being locally manufactured in house by Thermo pools and not a cheap imported product like some of the others out there. If you are looking for a pool solar heating business in Sydney that have a quality product and service at an affordable price, look no further. Thanks again for your work Sunny and the team at Thermo Pools, the family can now enjoy swimming in the pool for more time of the year.
