How do you save heat and water for you pool?

One of the easiest and most cost effective ways to save heat and water in your pool is to use the Liquid Pool Cover by Flexible Solutions. They offer two version of their product.

The first is the Ecosavr. It comes in the shape of the fish and all you do is cut the fin and toss it in you pool. The biodegradable liquid inside will slowly release into the pool water, rising to the top, and forming a barrier between the water and the air. It has enough biodegradable liquid in it to cover a residential backyard pool of approximately 400 square feet of surface area or about 15,000 gallons for 25 - 30 days.

The second version is the Heatsavr. The biodegradable liquid is the same as what is inside the Ecosavr fish and works the same way. It comes on quart and gallon jugs and is added one of two ways, either manually each night or automatically at a predetermined time and a preset amount to be released.

Of the two, my favorite is the Heatsavr, because it can be set up to automatically dispense the correct amount, at the best time for you. And with the metered amounts, you always know there is no waste, and the correct amount is being applied for maximum efficiency.

Let's face it....A cover only works if you use it. If you have owned one of those solar covers which look like bubble wrap, you know how difficult they are to handle, but what you may not realize is how unsafe they can really be. Imagine if your pet, or heaven forbid a child gets caught up in that thing. Nothing but a scare and at worst a tragedy will occur.

How does Heatsavr work to save you money?

Reduce your evaporation and save water, heat, and chemicals

Saving water and heat in a swimming pool is this simple

Heatsavr is a biodegradable film which, when applied to your swimming pool, will cover the top of your pool, creating a barrier between the water and air. This barrier will greatly reduce the amount of evaporation in your pool as you can see in the picture above. The pictures were taken 15 minutes apart, after adding Heatsavr to the water.

Since Heatsavr is biodegradable, it will be added every day. The good news? It costs on average $10-12 per MONTH. It is an environmentally safe liquid, which breaks down within a 24 hour period. Even the EPA and FDA have labeled it safe for public use.

The wonderful thing about Heatsavr? It is so simple to use and as I said earlier, "A pool cover, no matter how thick, durable, or 'special' it is, does not work unless you use it."

You can choose to apply it manually, pouring it directly into the pool at about 1 fluid ounce for every 400 square feet of surface area. (A 20 x 40 rectangle pool is 800 square feet of surface area.) I recommend to do this each night, after you are through using the pool for the day; however, since the liquid is non-toxic and not harmful to people (FDA and EPA approved) you can add it at anytime, according to your convenience.

My preferred method, mostly because I like to "idiot proof" things, is to use the automated metering system. I like being able to set a timer, set the amount needed to be dispensed, and go about enjoying my pool. The set it and forget it theory does wonders in my home. (I am one of the husbands who carries a lot of "Round Tuit" buttons, but never uses them.... Sorry Honey)
