Great article, an ozonator or UV system can also cut back on chemical use. Installing a smaller pool can help as well, less space, less water, less energy to heat, etc.

These are some great ideas both from the comments and article (Thanks guys!). Our family has bought a house with a rather dilapidated pool, and this will definitely be helpful when we renovate it. Does anyone have a basic idea of how much a salt system would be to install vs a UV light one? Both are attractive to me, I hate that chlorine smell. Thanks!

As a swimming pool company sales rep I can tell you that even though we started selling solar pool covers not that long ago – they became popular instantly. And it’s not just about making your home greener – you get to save on your heating costs, since those covers hold the heat in the water all night long.

A solar pool cover definitely offers a good amount of savings and a worthwhile investment. We have changed our way of maintaining our pool years ago, no chemicals and our solar cover really makes a difference in keeping the pool water warm and cleaner.

I like your list. I was wondering where you got your calculation of losing an inch of water a day? What size pool is that for?

Interesting stuff here. I’ve always wanted a pool, but have concerns about the eco-friendliness of having one.
