Pool management can quickly become costly, whether in terms of water, energy or chemicals. In a context of environmental restrictions and inflation, here are five simple tips to reduce your expenses without compromising water quality.

Evaporation is one of the main causes of water and heat loss. By covering your pool when it's not in use, you not only save water, but also reduce your heating costs, since evaporation accounts for up to two-thirds of a pool's heat loss. Isothermal or bubble covers are ideal for this purpose.

Excessive addition of certain products, such as stabilizers or hardness enhancers, can lead to chemical overload in the water, necessitating partial replenishment. To avoid this, test the water regularly with your ioStrip strips and adjust your dosages precisely using the free ioStrip application. If properly managed, these products last a long time in water.

Chlorine remains essential for a healthy pool, but its effectiveness depends on the pH of the water. Before any treatment, check and adjust the pH to between 7.2 and 7.4 to maximize its action. Combine it with efficient filtration and regular brushing of the walls to reduce chlorine requirements and prevent the appearance of algae and biofilms.

A good filtration system reduces the amount of chemicals needed for water treatment. Clean your filter regularly to maintain its efficiency and, if possible, consider energy-efficient systems to limit power consumption.

In summer, more intensive filtration is required due to rising temperatures and increased swimming. In autumn and spring, on the other hand, you can reduce filtration times to 6-8 hours per day, thus reducing your energy costs.

With these simple practices, you'll not only save water, chemicals and energy, but you'll also contribute to a more ecological management of your pool. These gestures benefit both your wallet and the environment!
