When modernizing your Las Vegas pool or spa, consider installing equipment that is energy efficient and eco-friendly. Using less electricity and water not only saves you money, but also helps conserve the environment.
The pool pump moves water through the components of the system, such as the filter, heater, water features and plumbing and should circulate the entire volume of water at least once a day. Older pumps are manufactured with preset speeds that cannot be adjusted.
Variable speed pumps are programmable allowing for customized settings at the desired flow rate to perform each function, thereby using the precise electricity needed. Higher speeds may be needed for specific tasks such as starting the equipment or when using a pool cleaner.
Running the pump at a slower speed for a longer period of time can save up to 80% on pool operating costs and 15,000 gallons of water annually. Moving the water slower and with less pressure reduces friction, making the pump run cooler, quieter and more efficient extending the life of the pump and other pool equipment.
High efficiency LEDs (light emitting diodes) are in great demand because of the many benefits over common incandescent lighting systems. The greatest advantage to using LED lights is they can save nearly 85% in energy consumption over typical lights. A 70 watt LED fixture produces approximately the same illumination as a 450 watt incandescent fixture. They generate up to 80% of light energy compared to just 20% from the incandescent bulb, which waste the majority of power on heat. LEDs produce very little heat, whether you leave your pool lights on for five minutes or five hours.
Extremely durable, LED lights last up to five times longer than traditional bulbs and are 100% maintenance free. The estimated life of an LED is 100,000 hours or up to 11 years. Some even come with a 15 year warranty. Manufacturers of LED pool lights now offer fixtures that change colors to create a unique atmosphere and further enhance your outdoor enjoyment and relaxation.
