Watt Pandaâs Guide to Keeping Your Pool Cool Without Burning Through Cash
Texans love their poolsâand for good reason. When the summer heat hits triple digits, thereâs nothing like diving into a backyard oasis. But what most pool owners donât love? The electric bill that comes with it.
Your pool pump might be the most expensive thing running at your house (aside from that rogue teen who keeps âforgettingâ to turn off the lights).
So how do you keep your pool sparkling without getting soaked financially? Thatâs where Watt Panda steps in.
đ Your Pool Pump: The Silent Energy Sucker
Did you know your pool pump can use more electricity than your fridge, washer, dryer, and dishwasher combined?
Most people run their pump 8â12 hours a dayâwhether their pool needs it or not. And if itâs a single-speed pump?
Yep, youâre basically flushing money down the drain.
â Watt Pandaâs Pool Efficiency Tips:
1. Upgrade to a Variable-Speed Pump
If youâre still rocking a single-speed pump, itâs time for a breakup.
Variable-speed pumps run more efficiently, let you control the flow rate, and could cut your pump electricity use by up to 80%. Thatâs not a typo.
Bonus: Many utility providers offer rebates if you switch. Weâll even help you find them.
2. Run It Smarter, Not Longer
Running your pump all day isnât necessary. For most Texas pools, 6â8 hours a day is plentyâespecially if your water chemistry is balanced and you clean your filters regularly.
Pro move: Split your runtime between early morning and late evening (when rates can be lower). Watt Panda can match you to a plan that makes this timing work for you, not your REP.
3. Clean Those Filters, Wattling
Clogged filters make your pump work harder. Harder work = more energy = higher bills.
A clean filter can improve flow, reduce strain, and lower your run time. Donât let a few leaves boss you around.
4. Go Solar (If Youâre Fancy Like That)
Got the budget for a solar-powered pump? Theyâre quiet, energy-independent, and Texas sunshine wonât cost you a dime.
If not, no worriesâWatt Panda can still slash your electricity costs on a traditional setup.
⥠Donât Let a Pool Plan Wipe You Out
Your electricity rate matters. Especially when youâve got a pool pumping away daily.
The wrong plan = $$$.
The right plan = pool parties without panic.
đŒ Watt Panda helps pool owners all over Texas lock in better rates, cut their costs, and chill harder.
Let us swim through the fine print and do all the negotiatingâso you can float easy.
