Designing an Energy-Saving Pool

A well-planned pool design can reduce your environmental footprint and cut utility bills without sacrificing comfort or style. Here’s how to make it happen.

1. Optimize Pool Size and Shape

• Smaller pools require less water, heating, and filtration.
• Curved or freeform shapes can reduce dead zones, improving circulation.

2. Install Energy-Efficient Equipment

• Variable-speed pumps use significantly less electricity.
• LED lighting consumes up to 80% less power than traditional bulbs.
• Efficient heaters like solar or heat pump systems reduce energy demand.

3. Harness Renewable Energy

Solar heating systems can maintain comfortable water temperatures at minimal cost.

Use solar covers to retain heat and reduce evaporation.

4. Smart Landscaping for Efficiency

Plant trees or shrubs strategically to provide natural windbreaks and shade.

Reduce debris by minimizing overhanging vegetation near the pool.

Pro tip: Automate filtration and heating schedules to run during off-peak hours and maintain optimal efficiency year-round.
