Why Most Pools Are Not Eco-Friendly

• Pools are of natural energy-absorber in the form
  of evaporation.
• Pool loses anywhere from ¼ to ½ every day due to
  evaporation.
• The factor which makes it from being
  environmentally friendly is the harmful chemicals
  we use to maintain them.
• Too much energy is being wasted in order to keep
  the water clean and safe, you have to run your
  pump every day.
• Also while using a heater, the energy usage is
  even higher.

Ways To MakeEco-Friendly Swimming Pools

Reduce the Use of Chemicals

• Chlorine is one of the common chemical that we
  use in our swimming pool in high quantity.
• All you can do is reduce the level of the amount
  of chlorine.
• Make sure you check your chlorine levels very
  frequently.

Pool Pump Timer

• Mostly we had to turn the pump on and run it for
  a certain number or hours a day.
• And if we forget to shut it off, it will run
  longer than the scheduled time. This is by no
  means bad for the water, but it does use more
  energy to run than necessary. 
• If we forget to shut it off, it does use more
  energy to run than necessary. This is by no means
  bad for the water, but its just a wastage of
  energy.
• A pool pump timer can be set up and run at
  intervals during the day, keeping it from running
  continuously.

6
Use Pool Covers

• Swimming pool water will loose its water due to
  evaporation.
• When you loose water you will have to replace it,
  which means using more resources. Again you will
  have to add more chemicals.
• The heat will escapes and hence you will have to
  run the pump harder and longer which is a wastage
  of energy too.
• Swimming pool covers can prevent evaporation and
  also cut down energy usage by keeping heat in the
  pool when its not in use.

Keep Your Pool Filled For Long

• Drain your pool only if you have a black algae
  problem that has gotten so far out of hand and
  you cant do anything about it.
• Draining a pool can do more harm causing dry and
  cracked liners and covers.
• Average pool capacities are about 10,000-25,000
  gallons and If you drain and refill it, its a
  wastage of huge gallons of water.

8
Place A Windbreak

• The process of evaporation can speed with the
  wind.
• Installing a windbreak can help cut down on that.
  
• Wind can also cool the water down, forcing your
  pool heater to work harder.
• We use a fence around the pool as a windbreak
• Also we can use screens, lattice, shrubs, or any
  other material that shields your pool from the
  wind to some extent.

Conclusion

• Make sure that of where you dispose of chemicals
  and always use a pool cover when its not in use.
