Refurbishing your pool to make it more energy-efficient
Refurbishing a pool involves much more than simply giving it a new look. It is first and foremost a formidable opportunity to turn your pool into a less costly, more eco-friendly space that is easier to maintain.
Refurbishing a pool involves much more than simply giving it a new look. It is first and foremost a formidable opportunity to turn your pool into a less costly, more eco-friendly space that is easier to maintain. How? By optimising the filtration, automating certain tasks, and choosing long-lasting equipment. Here are a few tips to help you renovate your pool by reducing your energy, water and chemical consumption.
Optimise filtration to reduce your energy use
Pool filtration is a key area of energy use. Choosing a variable speed pump, for example, will allow you to adjust the filtration speed according to the requirement at a given time. Reducing the speed to clean water consumes less energy than full power filtration.
A solution such as the KS EVO VS pump by Kripsol®, with its programmable speeds and silent operation, perfectly illustrates this approach.
Result: clean water, equipment that lasts longer, and long-term savings.
Choice of speed: why does this count ?
Switching from a high speed for intensive cleaning to a low speed for slower circulation has many advantages. Slower filtration optimises the water quality, allowing impurities to be more easily retained by the filter, which guarantees crystal-clear water. This also limits wear to the equipment and reduces energy consumption.
By adjusting the speed to the actual requirement, it is possible to combine comfort and effectiveness: filtration adapted to the pool on a daily basis extends the lifetime of the installations whilst reducing maintenance and electricity costs. In all, well-designed management that benefits the pool as much as the user.
Improve the water quality whilst reducing costs
High-quality filtration is essential to limit the proliferation of algae and bacteria, which reduces the use of chemicals and the need for frequent cleaning. High-performance filters, such as the BK1 by Kripsol®, will keep the water crystal-clear for longer thanks to a design that optimises the flow of water and minimises the risk of residues building up. This technology helps to maintain water cleanliness whilst reducing the use of disinfecting products.
For those who wish to achieve even more effective filtration, the S1 filter by Kripsol®, made of fibre reinforced polyester, offers finer filtration which captures even the smallest particles. With the filtration media Vitrafil, the filtration quality can be improved even further. By preventing a biofilm from forming, it guarantees cleaner, healthier water whilst reducing the number of backwashes to just one per month on average, simplifying maintenance and saving water.
This filter is ideal for residential pools, providing effective and long-lasting filtration whilst reducing water and energy consumption. This equipment is easily integrated into the existing systems, offering a practical and effective solution to limit maintenance costs and ensure the longevity of your installation.
For both of these filters, with the filter media Vitrafil the number of backwashes can be reduced to an average of 1 per month.
Automate maintenance to simplify management
There is nothing like smart solutions to make pool maintenance easier and optimise energy costs. With a connected control system, it is possible to manage the filtration, lighting, and even chemical parameters from your smartphone.
The Kripsol® KLX salt chlorinator, for example, is equipped with remote control functions that you can use to adjust the parameters with just one click. Thanks to this automation, maintenance becomes simple and reliable, with key-in-hand savings.
By programming filtration cycles and water treatment, these connected systems enable you to not only save time, but also better manage energy and product consumption. No more constant manual adjustments: the pool is managed autonomously and remains in perfect condition, with a reduced environmental impact.
Invest in long-lasting and high-performance equipment
To ensure your refurbishment pays for itself in the long-term, it is essential to choose high-performance, long-lasting equipment. Variable speed pumps, high-performance filters and water treatment systems are designed to improve user comfort while limiting the use of resources. For example, by combining the KS EVO VS pump with a BK1 filter, it is possible to obtain crystal-clear water whilst optimising energy efficiency. These devices, in addition to reducing operating costs, also contribute to maintaining the quality of the installations in the long term, thus extending the lifetime of the pool. Automated treatment systems, such as the KLX salt chlorinator, also adapt the water parameters to outdoor conditions, thus minimising manual maintenance.
Do your bit for the environment
Lastly, refurbishing your pool is also an eco-friendly step to take. By reducing energy consumption and limiting the use of chemicals, it is possible to enjoy your pool whilst being environmentally-friendly. Systems such as Kripsol® salt chlorinators and variable speed pumps are designed to minimise their ecological impact whilst improving water quality.
Enjoy more eco-friendly bathing
Modern technologies optimise filtration and water treatment, thus reducing the environmental impact of a pool. By choosing efficient equipment that is easy to maintain and respectful of resources, you can create a pool which combines performance, comfort and the pleasure of bathing.
Conclusion
Refurbishing to reduce energy consumption is indeed possible, and is even one of the best decisions you can make to improve the efficiency of your pool. By selecting connected equipment, such as devices proposed by Kripsol®, you can enjoy a pool that is always clean, more eco-friendly and less costly to maintain. It’s time to give your pool a sustainable future!
