What is the electric cost to operate a Swimming Pool?

     Swimming Pool Electrical Cost                 

Ok, so you are considering a new swimming pool for your family in 2012. What is most important to consumers in the technology age? Electricity costs should be the First thing you think about!

In 2012 Pool and Spa Connection is committed to building all swimming pools in Greenville, and Spartanburg SC with the most energy efficient systems, and easy to take care for features installed on all their new pools constructed. Some company's choose to focus on making pools as inexpensive as possible, and in doing so are actually making the pools expensive to operate.

Once the newness of an inexpensive swimming pool wears off, and the reality of the cost and maintenance time required for up-keep of a swimming pool sets in, so will the reality check. Shoulda, coulda, woulda done a smarter job when building a swimming pool with the latest ease of use features and products is why you will be kicking yourself!

Starting with the energy usage of a typical swimming pool is where we can see that most swimming pools have older technology pumps that use gobs of electricity. In 2012 Pool and Spa Connection only uses the newest technology "Variable Speed" swimming pool pumps on all their pools which can reduce your electric bill by 90%*.

Rodney McCall from Pentair Water explains the Intelliflo Pool Pump.

With most homeowners concerned about energy and rising utility costs coming in the future, you have to be mindful of this huge cost saving measure. Swimming pool pumps can be responsible for 33%* or more of your total electric bill! Wow, that much money you ask?

A typical swimming pool pump currently being installed on a new swimming pool can use 2000 watts of electricity every hour! 2000 watts of electricity is equal to 2 Kilowatts of electricity. Kilowatts are how electric companies measure and charge for electricity. The cost in the Greenville/Spartanburg South Carolina can run roughly $.085* a kilowatt hour X 2 per hour = $.17* every hour.

If you run a swimming pool 24 hours a day then your cost at this rate ($.085 kWh x 2) would be 24 x $.17 = $4.08* a day. If you multiply that cost x 30 days it equals $122.40* a month. Wow!, they didn't tell me this when I bought the pool! Well they did not want to take the time and explain this?

You want to be smart when purchasing a swimming pool to break down all the components and really add the correct products for low energy cost right from the beginning.

 

Pool and Spa Connection uses a "New Technology" swimming pool pump from Pentair that typically only uses $.46* a day in electricity!

Are You Serious! You are telling me that by purchasing the right pump I can save $4.08 - $.46 = $3.62* a Day! That is equal to $108.60* a month! This is equal to $651.60* in just the first year!

Our Swimming Pool Pump System Saves roughly $651.00* (over a typical pool pump) in just the first 6 months of Pool Ownership!

Multiply this amount by 5 years and the savings are astounding - You save $3258.00*

$3258.00* in savings over 5 years!

Consider this when  building a typical "discount" swimming pool and then what is the difference in price to a Pool and Spa Connection Low Energy Pool!

Have us explain swimming pool pump technology for your new or older swimming pool and we can save you gobs of electricity and energy cost.

Pool and Spa Connection is dedicated to providing the best in swimming pool products for now and in the future!
