10 Things Pool Owners Can Do For Our Environment

10 Things Pool Owners Can Do For Our Environment

1. Buy products that come in reusable or recyclable containers.
2. Take out of date chemicals and cleaning supplies to a hazardous waste recycling center.
3. Add a cover or solar heating system instead of using gas heat.
4. Don’t run the pump more hours per day than is needed to keep the pool clean.
5. Save water by keeping the cover on when the pool is not in use and b asking swimmers to avoid excess splashing of water out of the pool
6. Save water by checking for leaks every week (and repairing them promptly) by using a broom instead of a hose to clean pool decks
7. Keep leaves and other organic debris out of the pool, they destroy sanitizers and other pool chemicals, requiring you to buy and add more
8. Replace the net on your leaf rake instead of buying a new unit. Other service tools also have replaceable parts, so ask before you throw usable tools into the landfill.
9. Use your pool on hot days to cool off rather than using the air conditioner.
10. Buy an energy-efficient motor when replacing one on your pump
