Outdoor living with environmental mindfulness.
Whether you are building an outdoor living space, remodeling an old pool, or searching for reliable pool maintenance, the pros at Pacific Pool & Spa can help. Company president Clifton Crawford offers his notes for environmentally smart pool owners to consider.
Can a swimming pool be eco-friendly?
With rising concerns about water quality and resource management in Hawaii, pool owners are taking the lead in utilizing new technologies for more efficient operations, explains Crawford. These options can convert your existing pool into a more sustainable sanctuary.
Solar Bubble Covers for the Win
Keeping your pool at a comfy 85 degrees year-round can run up your energy bill. A solar bubble cover can raise the temperature of your pool naturally by 3-4 degrees. It also saves water by reducing evaporation.
Variable-Speed = Constant Savings
Older, inefficient single-speed pumps consume large amounts of energy. Upgrading to a newer, variable-speed pump could save you money in monthly utility costs. Check out rebate programs from HECO for additional savings.
Sustainable Sanitation Systems
Saline chlorination systems are environmentally friendlier options for pool disinfection. Through these systems, chlorine molecules are created via electrolysis of dissolved salt. UV rays from the sun naturally complete the purification cycle for an effective alternative to chemical additives.
