Eco Smart Pool Features That Reduce Running Costs by up to 60%

Modern families want pools that are warm, safe and enjoyable without high running costs.

Eco smart technology makes this much easier. By combining efficient heating, heat saving covers and lower energy filtration, many homeowners can reduce annual running costs by up to 60%.

Heating That Costs Less to Run

A high efficiency heat pump is often the best upgrade for cutting energy bills. Instead of generating heat like traditional systems, it pulls warmth from the air and transfers it into the pool water, which typically costs up to 70% cheaper to run.

For the best performance, look for a strong COP rating for good efficiency, inverter technology for smoother control and reduced energy use, and a durable weather resistant design that suits UK conditions.

Heat pumps also support a longer swimming season because they maintain a steady temperature more efficiently.

Covers That Keep Heat In and Maintenance Down

A smart pool cover is essential because most heat is lost from the water surface. Covering the pool when it is not in use helps retain up to 85% of warmth, cuts evaporation by up to 90% and keeps debris out, which reduces cleaning and can lower chemical demand.

Many families also choose covers for the added safety, particularly if children are around. Automatic slatted covers are popular for convenience and a neat finish, thermal safety covers offer strong insulation with safety benefits, and solar covers can be a budget friendly option for seasonal use.

Filtration That Uses Less Energy and Fewer Chemicals

Sustainable filtration improves water quality while reducing electricity use and ongoing treatment costs.

Variable speed pumps are a key feature because they adjust power to what is needed, rather than running at full speed all the time.

Glass filter media can be more efficient and longer lasting than traditional options, while cartridge filters typically operate at lower pressure for effective circulation. 

UV and ozone systems can reduce the amount of chlorine required, helping the water feel softer and making balance easier over time. 

When these features work together, they support cleaner water, simpler maintenance and meaningful long term savings. Families can save 40–60% on annual running costs.

These upgrades offer immediate comfort and long-term value, perfect for eco-conscious homes.
