Part 5 of 5 regarding some suggestions to help reduce costs and improve energy efficiency in specific areas of your home.

Our outdoor entertaining and relaxing spaces can often be unsuspecting users ofenergy! Heated pools and spas even if they are using solar, can also be spending more energy than necessary! 

 

Follow these simple steps to start reducing costs!

• Clean the pool and pool filters regularly so your filter pump isn’t overloaded.

• Consider reducing the pump running time, checking it does not affect the water quality.

• Use a pool cover - it helps keep the pool clean and reduces evaporation from the pool.

• Check your solar system is working well by noting the production regularly, for example, monthly. Address any issues as soon as possible.
