AUSTIN POOLS GOES GREEN

At Austin Pools Goes Green we believe owning a swimming pool is a wonderful right and privilege.  Many people are concerned about minimizing their "foot prints," and these same can easily be applied to our waterscapes.  With some pre-planning, there are easy, cost effective ways to minimize the impact our swimming pools have on our  environment overall and on other important resources like water and energy.   Austin Pools Goes Green would like to list some key points to consider in terms of "going green" with your swimming pool.  Of course, that's environmentally green, not algae green!

• Water evaporation - It's amazing to consider that the average swimming pool loses about 7,000 gallons of water a year to simple evaporation.  How many years of human life could that sustained with that many gallons of water?  Luckily, this is easy to remedy simply with a  pool cover.  There are lots of pool cover options on the market today and in all price ranges.  A pool cover is the simplest and easiest way to reduce water loss through evaporation.  Just remember that water loss is not always from evaporation.  A leak can cause a water loss of over 700 gallons a day.  So, if you are losing more than 1/4" of water within 24 hours (1/2" on a super hot day) than you might have a leak in your swimming pool, which should be addressed as quickly as possible.
• In floor cleaning systems - Consider an in floor cleaning system during the design process.  In floor systems increase and improve overall water circulation which  improves the loss of chemicals to evaporation and also saves money on heating your swimming pool. 
• Equipment considerations -  Consider a cartridge filter rather than a sand filer.  Cartridge filters require less water and clean just as efficiently as other types of filters.
• Chemical alternatives -  There are several alternatives to chlorine on the market today.  Several include salt systems, oxygen systems and copper ionization.
