Outdoors
Cleaning the pool: Reduce your pool pump running time during cooler months of the year. Refer to your pool filtration manual for details or contact a pool specialist who can design a filtration regime to suit your pool.
Use a pool cover: Use pool and spa covers to reduce your energy consumption, filtration time and top-up water.
Outside lights: Install motion sensors or use solar garden lights. Use CFL spotlights or Light Emitting Diode (LED) lamps in your outdoor lights to save more energy.
Off-peak tariffs: Connect new pool and spa pumps to an off-peak tariff to save money on your electricity bills. Contact your electricity retailer for details. Appliances connected to off-peak tariffs need to be hard-wired by an electrician.
