Go Greener: Tips for “going green” in your backyard

Cover up –

covers prevent both water & chemical loss from evaporation

Reuse the water –

use drained pool/spa water to irrigate your lawn (just remember don’t add any chemicals 3 days prior to draining)

Go solar-

by going large scale (direct solar panels) or small scale (accent lights) the devices will pay off when it comes time to pay the electric bill

Make it recycled-

Thinking of revamping the backyard? Look into recycled products: cabinets, patio furniture, and fencing are just a few of the products you can get from recycled material. They are low maintenance and made to last for a while

Lower temperature, more saving -

by lowering the temperature of your spa 3 degrees while it not being used can save you 5-10% of your spa heating cost
