Scottsdale, AZ swimming pool service contractors discuss money & time-saving technologies
You absolutely love your swimming pool, but you don’t absolutely love the amount of time it takes to keep it clean and the water free of bacteria. It’s all right. You can admit it because the swimming pool contractors from SwimRight Pools understand how you feel and that’s why they are available to work with pool owners who want the fun without all of the work!
Truth be told, though, it makes sense to care for your swimming pool between service visits, especially if it is used frequently. There are technologies that your pool contractor can install that will take the work out of that in-between service visit work. Here are five technologies to talk with him about:
- Automatic pool chlorinators help regulate the water’s chlorine levels. What you do is drop several chlorine tablets into the device and they are released when needed. If you’re trying to find a way to move away from using chlorine, talk to your Scottsdale, Arizona swimming pool service contractor about installing a salt chlorine generator. With this device salt is turned into a form of chlorine and is used to clean the pool but
without many of the harsh after effects sometimes noted with traditional chlorine. - If you’ve ever seen an automatic vacuum cleaner in a home you know that at the push of a button the device proceeds to clean your home. There are automatic aka robotic cleaners you can use for your swimming pool as well and they operate on the same principle — turn it on and go, it does the work on its own.
- Why not put the power of the Arizona sunshine to work to skim your pool when the need arises. A solar skimmer uses the energy from the sun to move the skimmer around the surface of the pool to scoop up any fallen debris. It’s always best to skim off debris before it falls to the bottom of the pool because if it’s left unattended it could lead to algae growth.
- The beauty of technology has made its way to your swimming pool and because of that you can operate many aspects of your swimming pool or hot tub remotely. Imagine having the hot tub water heat turned up to your desired level and the jets turned on before you get home. You can operate the pool from a remote control, a computer or a smart phone app and can turn on the lights turn on or off the pumps and roll back the pool cover all from a remote location.
- If you haven’t already had your pool upgraded to have a variable speed pump installed, this is an item you should definitely talk with your pool contractor about sooner rather than later. Variable speed pumps use less energy and this will help cut down on your utility bills. These pumps run at a lower speed unless it senses a need to operate at a higher level for a thorough cleaning. These pumps, with automatic times will save money and time!
The next time your pool service contractor pays a visit, spend some time with him to determine which of these technologies make sense for you and your family.
