Pool Cleaning

Water quality of pools is normally maintained by the use of chlorine to kill off any biological nasties in the pool water. Unfortunately chlorine can cause all kinds of other problems for pool users and the environment. Reduction and elimination of chlorine use is the key to environmentally friendly pool cleaning.

Pool Leaks

A simple way to ensure your pool is environmentally friendly is to test for leaks. Leaks can result in thousands of gallons of water loss and contribute to the depletion of our natural resources and inceases the use of pool chemicals.

Green Pumps and Filters

Standard pool pumps are becoming obsolete and can consume as much energy as all other home appliances combined. Variable speed pumps can cut energy use up to 90% annually. In Florida starting July 1, 2011, new codes require that all new pump or motor installtions use variable or two-speed pumps.

Green Heating

Environmentally friendly heat pumps can save up to 80% on energy costs compared to traditional heaters. High efficency heaters and Solar water heating systems can be used to heat your pool in the winter and cool it in the hot Florida summer.

Automation

By automating and synchronizing equipment scheduling, control systems can optimize energy use and equipment performance, while preventing problems and waste when users rely on their memories or limited time clocks to operate or deactivate equipment.

LED Lighting

LED pool and spa lights are the most energy- efficient pool and spa lighting option available. Plus, they can last longer, minimizing replacement cost and disposal. Color changing options are also available.

Salt Water Chlorinator

Using only natural table salt, the salt water chlorinator creates pure chlorine in the pool and eliminates the need to buy, store, and add harsh chlorine products manually. In effect, fewer resources are used in the production, packaging and transportation of these
chemical compounds.

Pool Covers

Using a pool cover when the pool is not in use will help keep it in pristine condition. The cover will prevent water evaporation, heat loss and stop dirt and leaves entering the pool.
