Benefits of a Pool Time Clock

Between the your pool heater, lights and the pump itself, it takes a lot of power to keep things running smoothly with your pool. That kind of power consumption can quickly start to add up on your energy bills, while the carbon footprint of your household continues to grow. To lower the amount of energy you use to run your pool, you may consider having a pool time clock installed on your pool equipment. There are many types of pool time clocks available on the market, but in the most basic sense, each one functions in a similar manner. The time clock controls when the pool pump or other components like the pool heater or additional filtration systems are engaged. This added control will go a long way to reducing the power consumption of your pool systems, while helping to preserve the longevity of your pool equipment.

Streamlined Pool System Control
A pool time clock makes it easy for pool owners to maintain complete control of their pool system, with little complication. Without the control of a pool time clock, pool owners may find themselves having to manually engage their pumps, filtration and heater one at a time. This is not only inconvenient, but also inefficient, as each piece of pool equipment must also be manually shut down. With a pool time clock, pool owners can have their pump, heater and any other components activate and deactivate automatically by programming a round the clock schedule.

Save on Energy and Equipment Costs
By programming a preset schedule that regulates all components of your pool system, you can start to save on energy costs immediately. By turning off the pump at night, or even during peak usage hours during the day when the pool is not in use, you can drastically reduce the amount of energy your pool equipment consumes in the long term. In addition, keeping your pool pump and other pool equipment on an automated timer can also extend the life of the pump motor and other components. Like any machine or engine, a pool pump will require periodic breaks to remain functioning at its best. With help from a pool time clock, your pool pump can last much longer, meaning you won't need to replace it for years to come.
