What Is the Most Popular Energy-Efficient Pool Upgrades?
At Millennium Pools & Spas, we specialize in many energy-efficient options for your pool. Our team will speak to you about the challenges you face operating your pool. Whether you’re concerned with water evaporation, overuse of chemicals, or operational costs, we can recommend the right upgrade for you. Our upgrades include:
- Winter Covers – Energy-efficient winter pool covers do more than decrease the evaporation from your pool. They also reduce energy usage and save you money on power and water. A cover keeps heat in your pool, preventing costs from rising during the winter.
- Automation Systems – Installing an environmentally friendly automation system in your pool with a much smaller footprint, such as a variable-speed pool pump, can significantly reduce energy costs. The cost of upgrading your automation system is well worth the savings.
- Ultraviolet (UV) and Ozone (Chlorine Alternatives) – Copious chemicals can irritate the skin and eyes. Instead, consider UV and Ozone. UV light can deactivate microorganisms that chlorine cannot, while ozone shocks your pool continuously. Combining both methods increases the formation of a powerful oxidizer known as hydroxyl radicals.
