1.2.2 Swimming Pool Energy Saving
Tips
Zodiac Pool Systems, Inc., offers the following
recommendations to help conserve fuel and minimize
the cost of operating your pool heater without
sacri¿ cing comfort.
1. The American Red Cross recommends a
maximum water temperature of 78°F (25°C).
Use an accurate pool thermometer. A difference
of 4F° (2°C) , between 78°F and 82°F (26°C and
28°C), will use as much as 40% more gas.
2. Carefully monitor the water temperature of your
pool in the summertime. You can reduce heater
usage due to warmer air temperatures.
3. Find the proper setting on the pool heater tem-
perature control and use the Set Point Lockout
feature to discourage further adjustments.
4. Set the pump time clock to start the pump no
earlier than 6:00 AM during the pool heating
season. This is the time when nightly heat loss
balances.
5. If the pool is only going to be used on weekends,
reduce the heater temperature control setting by
8 or 10 degrees during the week. Reset it to the
78°F (25°C) level a day or so before you plan to
use the pool.
6. During the winter or when on vacation for longer
than a week, shut down the heater by following
the shutdown instructions found on the inside of
the heater.
7. Where possible, shelter the pool from prevailing
winds with well-trimmed hedges or other land-
scaping, cabanas, or fencing.
8. Always use a pool cover when practical. Besides
providing a valuable safety feature, a pool cover
will reduce heat loss, conserve chemicals, and
reduce the load on ¿ lter systems.
