Dive Into Energy Savings This Summer
If you own a pool, you're probably dishing out hundreds of dollars each year to operate it. According to ENERGY STAR, your pool pump could be your home's second largest energy user. What fun is having a pool if you're worried about the cost to run it? These tips can help you save on your electric bill while splashing in the sun.
如果你擁有游泳池，每年爲運行它支付數百美元的費用。根據能源之星的說法，你的泳池泵可能是家中第二大能源使用者。擔心運行費用有多少意思？以下提示可以幫助你在陽光下騰出空間的同時節省電費。
Maximize Your Pool Pump's Performance
最大化你的泳池泵的性能
Your pool pump could be costing you almost $300 in energy costs each year. The bigger the pump, the bigger the cost. To save money, utilize the smallest size pump possible for your pool. To save even more, switch to an ENERGY STAR certified pool pump. Certified in-ground pumps use 18% less energy and will pay for themselves in less than two years while certified above-ground pumps use 11% less energy and can save you $80 over their lifetime.
你的泳池泵每年的能源成本可能達到近300美元。泵越大，成本越高。要節省金錢，請使用最小尺寸的泳池泵。要更省錢，請切換到能源之星認證的泳池泵。地下認證泵使用的能源少18％，並在不到兩年的時間內回本，而地上認證泵使用的能源少11％，可以節省80美元的使用壽命。
You may also be running your pool pump longer than necessary. ENERGY STAR certified pumps operate with variable speed and multi-speed options, which can help cut energy costs and provide a provide a more efficient filtration process. Reducing your filtration to only six hours each day could help reduce your energy use by 75%. You can also schedule your pool's pumping schedule by installing a timer.
你也可能會長時間運行泳池泵。能源之星認證的泵具有可變速和多速選項，可以幫助削減能源成本並提供更有效的過濾過程。將過濾時間縮短至每天六個小時可以將能源使用降低75％。你也可以通過安裝計時器安排泳池的泵送時間表。
Manage Your Pool's Temperature
管理你的泳池溫度
It's a myth that it takes more energy to heat a pool back up than it does to the temperature or turning off the heater when it's not in use. Most pools are kept between 78°F and 82°F, according to the Department of Energy. Depending on where you live, increasing the pool temperature by even one degree could cost 10%-30% more in energy use. If the pool won't be used for a few days, turn down the temperature or turn the heater off to save on energy costs.
傳言說重新加熱泳池需要更多的能源，但事實並非如此，關閉加熱器時所需的能源更少。根據能源部的說法，大多數泳池的溫度保持在78°F至82°F之間。根據所在位置的不同，將泳池溫度提高一度甚至可能增加10％-30％的能源使用。如果泳池幾天內不使用，請降低溫度或關閉加熱器以節省能源成本。
Use a Pool Cover
使用泳池蓋
Speaking of pool temperature, you can reduce your heating costs by investing in a pool cover. Pools lose heat in many ways, but evaporation is one of the biggest reasons. Using a pool cover is the single most effective way of reducing pool heating costs and could save you 50%-70%.
說到泳池溫度，可以通過投資泳池蓋減少你的加熱費用。泳池會由多種原因而失去熱量，但蒸發是最大的原因之一。使用泳池蓋是減少泳池加熱成本的最有效方法，可以節省50％-70％的費用。
Conduct Regular Pool Maintenance
定期進行泳池維護
It's important to keep your pool clean. Sometimes leaves and other debris clog your pool's filter, drains and pump. When that happens, it causes your pump to work harder, using more energy to do its job. Keep your pool running efficiently by taking the time to clear debris by using a net or vacuum.
保持泳池清潔非常重要。有時，樹葉和其他雜物會堵塞你的泳池過濾器、排水口和泵。這導致泵工作更努力，使用更多能源來完成工作。通過使用網或吸塵器清除雜物，讓你的泳池運行更加高效。
