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.
