Verifying Savings Claims
Fortunately pools are fun, relaxing exciting and a whole lot of work. For the unsuspecting though they are also riddled with many false claims and the aquatics business more than most can have an over abundance amount of false claims such as:
“Save 70% in water usage”- “Save 40% in chemical costs”
- “Save 50% in labor costs”
Get the facts substantiated by third party professionals, not the person selling you something. Use quantifiable, real world case studies from multiple sites. Use the laws of physics, math, and always remember the local health codes need to be maintained.
Example: 75% of water usage in outdoor, arid, western states pools is due to evaporation, up to 1/4″ a day in many places, there is no getting around it, a particular choice of filter system won’t stop this natural event.
Trying new and innovative ideas are good for the pool industry, please just be a good consumer in the process.
