Money Saving Tips for Pool Owners in Palm Beach County
Pools are a lot of work, and they aren’t free so, in these times when the costs of most everything is rising, there are ways to save big such as:
Pool Pumps through the night
Many utility companies have low cost plans for running major appliances at night, known as the off-peak hours and rates, that can lead to considerable savings for pool owners. Make a phone call or check your billing statement and find out if running your pool filter at night is the way to go. If it is, buy a programmable pump that can give you the freedom to run your filter at the most cost-efficient times. Also, a programmable, variable-speed pump allows you to adjust the speed at which the water is pumped through the filter, which means energy isn’t wasted during those times in the cycle when a slower flow is appropriate. This could save you 50% or more on your electric bill, since the pool pump is the second biggest user of electric behind central air. A programmable variable speed pump could be the best pool equipment you ever purchased.
Cutting corners on maintenance tasks is not a way to save. That often ends in costing you much more. If we’re honest with ourselves, we already know that “If something is worth doing, it’s worth doing right.”
