At Reindesa we are aware of the importance of preserving the environment and that is why we are concerned about sustainability applied to the swimming pool.
If you’re like us and committed to the environment, here are some tips for equipping your pool in an eco-friendly way: the key is good resource optimization.
1. REDUCE WATER CONSUMPTION:
– COVER: Installing a cover reduces water loss due to evaporation by up to 65% and also decreases the consumption of chemicals and filter washings because the cover protects from external elements.
– AUTONOMOUS AUTOMATIC POOL CLEANERS: They allow you to save 20% of water consumption in filter washing.
We recommend the Vortex 1 pool cleaner as the most economical option, the Typhoon Smart pool cleaner as the most equipped and cost-effective option, and the Pulit E90 pool cleaner as the most comfortable and professional choice.
– FILTERS: Not all filters are designed in a sustainable way, we recommend two options that have been created to save water consumption.
Hydrospin pre-filter: reduces water consumption for backwashing the filtration system by 50%.
Activated glass filter media: Optimizes filtration frequency and time. Saves 25% of water during filter backwashing and drastically reduces chemical consumption while clarifying the water.
– WINTERIZATION: This process allows us to avoid replacing the entire volume of water and recycle it for the following season without having to perform a shock chlorination. Furthermore, we avoid the application of disinfectant chemicals and the use of energy for water maintenance and filtration during the winter season. Here you can find all the steps for proper pool winterization.
– AUTOMATED DISINFECTION: Allows optimization of disinfectant performance by preventing situations of overdose or lack of chemical product, as it optimally adjusts the application of disinfectant and the consumption of pH regulator, improving water and air quality.
A good option is disinfection by saline electrolysis, which uses two natural elements: water and salt. The salt is converted into an active disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite, which destroys algae, bacteria, and fungi, thus saving on chlorine consumption and avoiding its purchase, transportation costs, and handling.
Another noteworthy option is ultraviolet (UV) light disinfection equipment, which disinfects water and reduces chlorine application by 30%. It also reduces the presence of disinfection byproducts, resulting in higher quality water and savings of up to 50% on replacement water.
2. SAVE ENERGY:
– LED LIGHTING: We will save up to 92% on energy thanks to the greater energy efficiency of this technology. With the Lumiplus 1.11 submerged lamps, we will achieve high brightness with only 24W.
Another option is the Kokoon multicolor LED lamp, which is also floating and has a battery life of up to 26 hours.
– SOLAR SHOWER: Heats the water stored in its own column, which is made of an alloy of aluminum, magnesium, and resins with metallic particles. This allows the water to absorb the ambient temperature on hot, cloudy days. It’s not only an ecological but also an economical way to consume hot water.
The Solar Shower R 20L meets all the requirements, but if you are looking for a touch of distinction and design, the Eco Solar Shower is the best option.
– RECIRCULATION PUMP: In addition to contributing to a 75% reduction in noise pollution, it saves 60% of energy compared to single-speed pumps. It allows for nighttime filtration. The Dual Speed Pump is a good option and also has greater durability.
