Pool maintenance involves more than keeping the water pristine and the general area clean: it’s also about energy efficiency, as failing to take certain measures is a sure path to sky-high energy bills. The expert team at M & M Pool Services in Honolulu, HI provides the high-quality pool repair, cleaning, and renovations you need to keep your pool functioning at optimal level. 

Check out the company's best efficiency tips, and avoid weeping when you receive your energy bill:

• Heat Loss: Reduce heat loss by using a pool cover. Add fencing, hedges, or other landscaping elements to protect your pool from prevailing winds—and subsequently additional heat loss.
• Pool Pumps: Purchase an energy-efficient pool pump if you haven’t already. Ensure it’s the right size, as one that’s too large or small wastes energy, and results in other annoying problems.
• Pool Heaters: Replace your pool heater if it’s over five years old in favor of a new, energy-efficient model. Set the temperature on a gas or propane heater to avoid overheating and increased energy costs. Also, make sure you turn the heater off if you're going away for a week or more.
• Filtration: Run your pool’s filtration system anytime between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m., as this is considered off-peak time. Install a control system so filtration occurs automatically during off-peak hours, as electricity demand is lower.
• Skimmer: Use a skimmer to remove surface leaves and debris, and a pool vacuum to clean the bottom to help the filtration system function at optimal levels.
