How will energy-efficient products make a
difference
in my backyard and my power bill?
Depending on the size of your pool, filtration equipment, and
heating requirements, your energy driven equipment may operate
up to 12 hours per day to properly circulate your water for
effective filtration. A small increase in efficiency can yield
larger savings later; therefore, the right pool equipment is
essential to your power bill. Whether you're building a new
pool or replacing existing equipment, your equipment selection
can save you a significant amount of money in the long run.

What energy-efficient measures are recommended?
Pumps
Energy-efficient pumps can pay for themselves in a short
period of time, but it's important to get the right pump for
your pool. A two-speed pump offers:
- A high speed and a low speed working together to maintain
your pool.
- The high speed is utilized for demanding conditions and
periodic needs.
- With the low-speed mode, expect up to 75% energy savings
during normal operation.
Filters
Pool water filtration is the heart of your water care system.
Depending on the size and style of the filter selected, you
can achieve energy savings and improved water clarity by
reducing the time and energy your pump must exert to cycle the
entire body of water in your pool during a 12-hour period.
Save energy and time by selecting a larger filter versus a
standard filter size:
- A larger filter provides more filtration area, thus
reducing backpressure buildup over time, and strain on your
pump.
- A larger filter can extend the periodic maintenance cycle,
thus saving the homeowner valuable time.
The three most popular styles of filtration are:
-Sand
- Value priced filter choice on most pools
- Good water clarity overall
-Cartridge:
- Great water clarity overall
- Easier maintenance, no backwashing required
-Diatomaceous Earth (D.E.):
- Sparkling water clarity overall
- Cleans the entire pool on the first cycle through the
filter
Heaters
To extend the pool experience, heaters are a popular equipment
addition. Selecting a high efficiency heater for your new
installation, or replacing an older inefficient model can have
a significant impact on your fuel bill. Hayward heaters are
among the most efficient in the industry and offer models to
meet your heating needs:
-H series Electronic Ignition
- High efficiency: 80 to 82 percent
- No pilot light , Electronic Spark Ignition for reliable
and smooth starts
Cleaners
When selecting an automatic cleaner, choose a suction powered
cleaner over a pressure cleaner, and save on the expense and
energy requirements of a booster pump.
