Much Emphasis is being placed on the consumption of electrical appiances in the home. As we are all aware Escom is going to be increasing the electricity prices by 35% per annum over the next three years. This translates into a huge cost per household.
The product that has recieved the most attention has been hot water geysers and in particular solar energy.
I feel however that not enough emphasis has been placed on the swimming pool. Did you know that the biggest consumer of electricity in the home (Except and air conditioner) is your pool pump, yes thats right.Think about it, your pool pump consumes 1200W of energy to give you an output of 0.75W. The pump runs for about 12 hours a day, that is a whopping 14.4KW/h per day.
You will have heard from many Escom campains to run your pump for a shorter period every day. This is infact not the right thing to do. If you run your pump less, the water is not being turned over enough and the filtration system is unable to do what it is designed to do.
It is for this reason that we at Ridd's Aqua Centre advocate the installation of an Intelliflo pump. This revolutionary peice of equipment effectively saves 90% of this huge running cost by using a variable speed motor. Please go to www.riddsaqua.co.za and have a look at what the intelliflo can do for you.
