3 Pool Supplies to Decrease Your Environmental Impact

Jun 26th 2018

There is nothing more fun than taking a dip in a swimming pool on a hot day. However, pool owners know there is some environmental impact that comes with owning a pool, namely high water usage, high energy usage, and harmful chemicals. So how do you become a “green” pool owner? There are ways that you can lower your footprint. Here are a few ideas to help you be more environmentally friendly this summer.

Pool Covers:

A properly fitted pool cover can help to keep water from evaporating, preventing the need to refill to meet the water line. A pool cover can also help to keep debris out, helping you conserve energy from your pump and pool vacuum.

If you’d like to take it a step further, you can also save energy by investing in a solar cover, decreasing the amount of energy you would normally use with a heating system.

EcoOne Pool Products:

One of the trends in the pool industry right now is creating a saltwater or natural pool. These are a great way to lower the environmental impact, but if converting an old pool into a saltwater pool is out of the budget for many pool owners. A cheaper option is to use more environmentally friendly pool products, such as EcoOne products. These products are easy to use and are free of dyes, perfumes and fragrances.

Solar Lights:

No one wants to stop having fun when the sun goes down, or spend a ton of money on lights and electricity. Solar powered lights are a great way to keep things bright enough poolside to keep the party going, while remaining eco-friendly.
