Save Big on Your Pool in 2026: Top Money-Saving Equipment Upgrades

2026 is here and we’d like to suggest a few money-saving upgrades for your pool.

One of the biggest ways to cut costs is by switching from a single-speed pump to a variable-speed pump. When programmed correctly by a technician, a variable-speed pump can reduce your pool’s electricity use by more than 50%—which typically means hundreds of dollars back in your pocket each year.

Another smart upgrade is an ozone system. Ozone works continuously to destroy bacteria and chloramines, which you’d normally control through super-chlorination, algaecides and other chemicals. Whether you use chlorine tablets or a salt system, ozone can reduce your chlorine demand by up to 50%.

The last upgrade to consider is a salt chlorination system. This system uses the salt already in your pool to generate chlorine. As the chlorine breaks down, it returns to salt, allowing the system to recycle it. Because it produces chlorine whenever the pump is running, your chlorine levels remain steady and consistent.

As always, we’re here to provide professional guidance and are happy to offer a free evaluation of your pool and equipment. Our goal is for you to enjoy your pool—not to sell you products—so our recommendations are always made with your best interest in mind.
