Follow these quick tips before you take a dip. Regular maintenance on your pool
will allow you to swim in savings.
-
Buy a pump that's the right size for your swimming pool.
An incorrectly-sized pump uses more electricity than necessary, which increases your costs. Consult your pool supply company for the pump specifications you need. - Use an automatic timer on your pool pump to control your electricity usage.
- Avoid running your pool pump 24/7. Calculate the most efficient daily run time for your pool pump to help control electricity usage. You can potentially save by running your pool pump during off-peak hours when you are on the Reliant e-Sense® Time-of-Use plan.
- Clean your pool filter regularly. A clogged filter makes your pool pump work harder and consume more electricity.
- Perform routine checkups of pool pump motors and other equipment. Scheduled maintenance can help ensure optimum electricity efficiency for your swimming pool.
- Wash your sand, D.E., or cartridge filters monthly for efficient electricity usage. They should also be dismantled and cleaned thoroughly once per year.
