Swimming pool products such as pool pump, pool heater, pool filter and so on are necessary to keep your pool healthy.
How about making your swimming pool healthier by making it eco-friendly?
Making your pool eco-friendly gives you two main benefits; one is you contribute to a greener Earth and second is it will cut your pool maintenance cost in the long run.
No, you don't have to modify or reconstruct your swimming pool. All you need is to replace your pool products with the more eco-friendly ones;
1. Replace gas heater with heat pump
Heat pumps are more expensive than gas heater but they produce more heat than the percentage of the energy it consumes therefore will save you a lot in the long run.
2. Buy cartridge or sand filter rather than D.E. filter
D.E. filter is no doubt very effective on cleaning a swimming pool. However, it uses a lot of diatomaceous earth (D.E.) and you need to backwash the filter to clean it thoroughly.
With a sand filter, you just have to replace the sand every 3 years for apartment pools and 6 years for home pools.
A cartridge filter on the other hand is the easiest filter to clean; you just have to pull it out and rinse.
3. Salt instead of chlorine
Contrary to common belief, salt water pools will not give you the ocean-like feeling and the pool water don't make it taste as salty as the ocean water.
With a salt generator, you don't have to buy and apply chlorine from time to time; it will break down the salt and turn it into chlorine saving you a lot of money.
4. Use solar blanket
To maximize pool heating, aside from the heat pump, you can use solar blanket that traps heat from the sun and transfer it to your pool. Solar blanket keep the proper temperature for your pool especially during cold nights.
5. Prefer robotic pool cleaner than a manual vacuum cleaner or an automatic cleaner
Cleaning a pool with an automatic or vacuum cleaner consumes too much energy that will later on reflect on your bill. Using a robotic pool cleaner instead will clean your pool fast with less energy just by plugging it into a regular power socket.
And there you have it, next time you replace your swimming pool equipment you know your options and you can enjoy an eco-friendly pool.

Interesting!
Touching further on pool pumps, it is advisable to change to a water efficient pump. Not only do these save energy, and therefore money, their efficiency means they are a long term investment. Also this ties into safety, as an efficient pool pump keeps the pools water flow regular, and keeps it more hygienic.
Great work
That would be surely reduce our expense and at the same time providing the same luxuriousness as before. Eco Friendly pool designs are always the brilliant method to get into the nature and relax your mind. I would like to add the same effect to my hot tub and spa cover. Any ideas for that?
