Dive into Summer: Eco-Friendly Tips for a Clean and Healthy Pool!

This summer, keep your pool sparkling—and the planet happy—by adopting eco-friendly cleaning practices. With a few simple swaps and mindful habits, you’ll reduce chemical use, conserve water, and enjoy healthier swim sessions all season long.


Why Go Green?

  • Healthier water: fewer harsh chemicals means gentler, skin-friendly water.

  • Lower bills: energy-efficient equipment and water conservation save money.

  • Eco impact: reduced chemical runoff protects local waterways and wildlife.


1. Optimize Your Filtration Schedule

  • Shorter, more frequent runs (6 hours/day) can be more efficient than one long cycle.

  • Variable-speed pumps use up to 70% less energy—consider upgrading for big savings.

2. Use Natural Pool Clarifiers

  • Enzyme-based products break down oils and organic waste without chlorine spikes.

  • Diatomaceous earth (DE) filters capture microscopic particles for clearer water with minimal chemicals.

3. Embrace Solar Heating & Sanitizing

  • Solar covers retain heat and reduce evaporation—save water and energy.

  • Saltwater chlorinators harness salt to produce chlorine gently and sustainably.

4. Practice Water-Smart Maintenance

  • Cover your pool when not in use to prevent debris and evaporation.

  • Spot-treat stains with eco-friendly cleaners instead of shocking the entire pool.

5. Reuse & Recycle

  • Backwash water: use it to irrigate ornamental gardens (avoid edible plants).

  • Filter media: choose recyclable DE grids or replaceable cartridge filters.
