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.
