Handy Tips to Save on Pool Construction Expenses

• Install a solar powered heating system.
  
  
• Install solar lights around your pool.
  
  
• Always compare prices and services of several contractors before you begin.
  
  
• Ask your contractor for the latest products, and if they could be cost-effective for the future.
  
  
• When choosing a pool heater or lighting, be sure it works efficiently.
  
  
• Split your lighting systems on larger pools to reduce unnecessary lighting and costs.
  
  
• You can use a cover on your swimming pool to minimize evaporation and reduce heating costs.
  
  
• Create wind-breakers around your pool with trees, bushes and fencing to reduce the amount of water evaporation.
  
  
• To conserve energy, run your pool's filtration system only during off-peak hours.
  
  
• Keep the seasons in mind with your heating; perhaps you will find it is not necessary to use any heating during the summer.
  
  
• If you are going away for more than a week, turn off your pool heater.
  
  
• If you only use your pool at the weekend, reduce your heater thermostats settings by eight to ten degrees during the week.
  
  
• To obtain maximum filtration and energy efficiency, clean your filter regularly.
  
  
• Save energy and time by selecting a larger filter versus a standard filter size. A larger filter reduces backpressure buildup, which helps your pump. You also do not have to clean your filter as often, saving you valuable time.
