How Technology Has Impacted Pool Maintenance
New pool maintenance technology makes keeping a pool in tip-top shape much easier, more efficient, and less time-consuming.
Maintaining a pool no longer involves so much manual labor and endless checking of pH levels as it once did. New pool maintenance technology makes keeping a pool in tip-top shape much easier, more efficient, and less time-consuming.
Here are some ways tech innovations have impacted pool upkeep:
Automated cleaning
Robotic cleaners have made pool cleaning so much easier and less of a hassle. These smart devices roam the pool floor, walls, and steps to vacuum debris and remove algae. Best of all, they need little to no human intervention.
Smart monitoring
Smart monitoring lets homeowners check their pools from anywhere. Removing the guesswork from chemistry allows users to check the water’s chemical makeup, temperature, filter status, and more by glancing at a smartphone or tablet. It also makes it easier to make informed adjustments.
Energy-efficient equipment
Newer pool pumps, heaters, filters, and cleaners are more energy-efficient. For example, variable-speed pumps adjust the task speed, massively decreasing energy use and costs. That’s great news for monthly energy bills and resources.
Saltwater systems
It might not seem like a typical tech trend, but saltwater chlorination systems have made major strides in pool sanitization and overall health. They convert salt into chlorine to keep the water clean and clear, reduce the demand for regular chlorine, and soften the water.
Ultraviolet (UV) and ozone systems
UV and ozone systems purify water better than traditional filters. They neutralize harmful pathogens and make the pool depend less on harsh chlorine. They’re an amazing way to get safer and more comfortable pool water.
Pool covers
There are now pool covers that do much more than keep debris out. Automated covers are safer, retain heat better, and reduce evaporation. Better yet, they do it all at the push of a button.
Heating innovations
Technology has also impacted how pools are heated. For example, solar heaters and heat pumps have made pool heating more sustainable. They use the infinite energy of the sun or extract heat from the air to warm up the pool in an eco-friendly way. Moreover, solar heaters potentially make pool use off-grid, which is something never seen before.
