Save energy with the help of your pool

There's no getting around it: energy prices continue to rise. Many pool owners are therefore dreading their energy bills at the end of the year. Fortunately, the Leisure Pools team has not been idle during the coronavirus crisis. We went in search of innovative solutions, and yes, we found them. In combination with a heat pump, solar panels, a smart meter, and our latest pool control system equipped with PLC control, your pool can function as a thermal battery on sunny days.

Your pool as a thermal buffer

On sunny days, you will soon be able to get the most out of your solar panels to avoid sky-high energy bills. But what if you are not at home and therefore only use a minimum of energy? Leisure Pools has the ideal solution for people with a swimming pool. If you have excess capacity from your solar panels, you can heat your pool water and your pool will serve as a thermal buffer. We resolutely opted for a frequency control with PLC control in our new technical installation. This PLC control allows the pool equipment to communicate with the smart meter. This means that the surplus energy is used to heat the pool water, so you use less energy and can still swim in pleasantly warm water!

Pool control 2.0

The Leisure Poos team has thus created a huge upgrade to the existing pool controls. By choosing high-end equipment, we can even monitor and manage the entire pool system remotely and intervene if necessary. Remote intervention is new in the pool world and is still in its infancy for many pool builders.

Want to save even more energy?

Check whether your pool control system has a frequency-controlled pump. With this investment, you will only use 1/3 of the electricity compared to a traditional pool pump. Solar slats also provide extra heat in the water and are therefore becoming an increasingly popular pool upgrade. And you? What do you do as a pool owner to save energy?
