If you’re conscious of your energy consumption and looking for ways to cut electricity costs, it might be worth your while to take a look at our energy saving, environmentally friendly pool product range, Viron. The Viron range is engineered with energy and cost efficiency in mind. All the products in the Viron range are Climate Care Certified.
Pool pumps
Pool pumps can be expensive to run but our R&D team have worked hard to ensure that our AstralPool pumps move more water, using less power, in fewer hours of the day. This means less overall cost and better energy efficiency. If you’re looking for a pump to match this description, we suggest:
• Viron XT variable speed pumps
o Our first Climate Care Certified pool pump
o Compared to conventional single speed pumps, the Viron XT pump will save between $700 and $1,200 every year in operating costs
• BX Pump and CTX Pump
o Not Climate Care Certified, but just as powerful as our other pumps, using less energy in fewer hours of the day
• E-Series Pump
o This is a great little pump for small and mid-sized pools (8-11 metres)
Pool filters
It’s important for the health of your pool (and yours) to have a quality pump filter, but they can also be costly due to water use. The best way to curb high water use:
• Reduce your filtration running time to the safe minimum, generally six hours per day (You can find the recommended time for your pump in your AstralPool manual)
• Viron QL cartridge filter
o Climate Care Certified
o Saves up to 12,000 litres of water per year and reduced power consumption
• ZX pool and spa cartridge filter
o Climate Care Certified
o Saves thousands of litres of water every year
Heating
Maintaining heat in your pool is one of the best ways to stay energy and cost efficient. If you’re not ready to buy a pool heater just yet, we have a couple of options for you:
• ECOSAVR pool cover
o Prevents heat and water loss, as well as leaves and debris entering the pool, using no additional energy
o No additional time required in pool cleaning, or water use topping up your pool
o For pool owners, already running a pool heater, a pool cover can deliver up to 50% in energy savings
• HEATSAVR liquid
o For frequent pool users (covering and uncovering pool)
o Forms a barrier on the surface of your pool, prevents heat and water loss and saves up to 40% of energy costs
