Comparing Electricity Cost Between A/C and Swimming Pools in the Florida Area

Owning a pool company isn’t always easy, especially when several customers are either shutting their swimming pool pumps off or running them only for a few hours a day. Here's our concern -- Insufficient pool circulation, meaning not running the pump long enough, leads to stagnant water, algae and bacteria growth, and potential health risks for swimmers.

We understand the cost of electricity and trying to save money. After some research on comparing the cost of electricity between A/C and swimming pools here in Florida during the Winter and Summer Months - I found this to be very interesting and wanted to share:

A/C Costs: Summer in Florida means increased usage due to the hot and humid climate which leads to higher electricity bills. The average kWh usage during the summer months ranges from 50 to 70 kWh (.14 to .16 cents per kilowatt-hour) per day due to the AC demand. It's normal for most A/C units in Florida to run for extended periods, sometimes all day, to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, particularly during peak heat. Winter in Florida is cooler and can reduce your A/C usage or you can even turn it off entirely, which lowers the electricity bill.

Swimming Pool Cost: Pool pump usage generally running 8 hours a day throughout the year for filtration and circulation can contribute to electricity cost depending on the pump type and size. Variable speed pump typically adds $20-$50 per month.
Single-speed pump can add $75-$150 per month.

For all those people wanting top notch work for pennies on the dollar. For all those people thinking licensing, insurance and knowledge isn’t valuable. Read this:

CUSTOMER: "How much will it cost to do this job?"
CONTRACTOR: "$2,800 Dollars."

CUSTOMER: "That's WAY too expensive for this job!!"
CONTRACTOR: "How much do YOU think it would cost?"

CUSTOMER: "No more than $800 Dollars - MAX!! It's a simple job!"
CONTRACTOR: "I can't prioritize my time for so little."

CUSTOMER: "People in your line of work are so greedy."
CONTRACTOR: "Sorry you feel that way. Why not do it yourself?"

CUSTOMER: "But... but... I don't know how to do any of this."
CONTRACTOR: "For $900 Dollars, I'll teach you EXACTLY how to get this job done. Then you can spend $800 to do the job and you'll still be saving $1,100 Dollars - PLUS... you'll get the knowledge and experience for the next time you want to do a job yourself."

CUSTOMER: "Deal!! Let's do it."
CONTRACTOR: To get started you'll need tools. So you'll have to buy a welder, a grinder, a chop saw, a drill press, a welding hood, gloves and a few other things."

CUSTOMER: "But I don't have all this equipment and I can't buy all of these for one job."
CONTRACTOR: "Well then for another $300 more I'll let you rent my tools... and you'll still be saving $800 Dollars."

CUSTOMER: "That's cutting into my savings. But I'll rent your tools."
CONTRACTOR: "Okay! I'll be back on Saturday and we can start."

CUSTOMER: "Wait. I can't on Saturday. I only have time today."
CONTRACTOR: "Sorry, I only give lessons on Saturday, because I have to prioritize my time and my tools have to be at other jobs with other customers all week long.

CUSTOMER: "Okay!! I'll sacrifice my family plans on Saturday."
CONTRACTOR: "Yeah... me too. Oh... and I forgot... to do your job yourself, you also have to pay for the materials. Everything is in high demand right now, so your best bet is to get your truck and load up at 6AM before everyone else gets there."

CUSTOMER: "SIX AM??? On a Saturday??? That's way to early for me. And also... I don't have a truck."
"CONTRACTOR: "I guess you'll have to rent one. Do you have a couple of strong men to help you load and unload everything?"

CUSTOMER: "Ummm... ya know... I've been thinking. It's probably best if YOU get this job done. I'd rather pay someone to get it done correctly than go through all the hassle.
CONTRACTOR: "Smart move, sign this and please get out of the way so I can work."

THE REALITY IS THIS...

When you pay for a job, especially handcrafted, you pay not only for the material used, but you are also paying for:

- Knowledge
- Experience
- Tools
- Services
- Time
- Punctuality
- Accountability
- Professionalism
- Accuracy
- Labor
- Sacrifices
- Safety and Security
- Payment of tax obligations

No one should denigrate a professional's work by judging prices - ESPECIALLY when they don't know all the elements or costs necessary for the production of such work.

This was just a remix of an old story I once heard and I am sharing this in support of craftsmen, specialists and entrepreneurs everywhere!

You can't haggle over a service that you don't actually have the skills or knowledge to do yourself. You can't get a high quality gourmet dinner party for the same price as a Happy Meal from McDonald's. And you can't be mad when skilled people actually KNOW their own worth.

Be smart. Trust a reputable professional. And never forget... that you ALWAYS get what you pay for.

Hurricane Preparation for Swimming Pools


As you all have probably heard, Hurricane Season is approaching and your swimming pool is probably the least of your worries right now, but we would like to pass some information on to all of our customers on how to prepare your pool in the event that we are hit by a hurricane. We’ve done some digging and the following link is the best collection of steps to take to prepare your pool for a storm.

Don’t drain water from pool
• Leave water level alone. Draining, so it won’t overflow, is pointless. If you drain it more than a few feet below normal and the ground gets saturated, the pool’s shell could pop out of the ground (even with concrete pools). Water provides weight to hold the sides and bottom in place.
• Turn off power to the pump motor, lights and other equipment at circuit box. Shut the gas valve off to the heater.
• Consider removing diving boards or slides if you fear they won’t be secure in high winds; if you decide to remove them, try to have a professional do it.
• If the motor is exposed and you live in a flood-prone area, remove the pump and store it indoors. Otherwise, try to wrap it up with a waterproof cover and tie securely.
• Remove automatic pool cleaners, pool blankets and covers, and take inside.
• Super-chlorinate or double chemicals you normally add to reduce contamination and infestation by insects.
• Stock up on chemicals to “shock” pool after storm.
• Don’t throw patio furniture in pool to keep out of the wind; pool chemicals will harm the furniture and can mar the pool finish.

After the ‘all clear’
• Remove debris from the pool with a net.
• Don’t reconnect electrical equipment until you’ve removed debris from the pool with a net and power has been restored. Make sure electrical equipment is dry.
• Don’t use your vacuum; debris will clog the line and/or the pump.
• Then, if the area around the pool is dry, start the pump. When draining the pool to proper level, remove cartridge filter or bypass the filter system. Super-chlorinate again.
• Make Sure the Debris is out of the pool before treating the water. Add 5 gallons of chlorine (based on a 15,000-gallon pool) and start pump after inspecting electrical equipment to be sure it’s dry. Reset timers, if necessary.
• Closely watch the pump system through complete cycles for any problems.
• Wait 24 hours to see whether water clears and turns blue. If it does, test water and follow instructions. If water is darker or black, pool may need to be drained, or partially drained, treated and refilled. Call a professional
• Balance pool chemicals and monitor a few days.


If there is anything at all that we can help you with, or any questions that we can answer, please don’t hesitate to call us and we will do our best to help. Before the storm, and once the storm has passed. Stay Safe everyone and God Bless!

To safeguard your pool equipment during freezing weather, consider the following tips:

Make sure the pool pump is running continuously when temperatures are below freezing. Install a freeze protection device that automatically turns the pump on when the temperature drops to around 34 degrees, maintaining pool operation in close-to-freezing conditions.

Keep the pool clean by regularly clearing skimmers and main drains of leaves and debris. A blocked system can prevent the pump from moving enough water to prevent freezing.

Maintain the proper water level to prevent skimmers from running dry and causing the pump to lose prime. In freezing conditions, low water levels can lead to frozen plumbing.
Remove the drain plug or open the hose bib on the backwash line to prevent water retention, freezing, and potential breakage.

Protecting Your Pool If You Lose Power
In the event of a power failure during a winter storm, your pool pump may cease operating unless you have a home generator as a backup. For an un-winterized pool, take immediate action by unscrewing the two drain plugs on your pump and heater, along with the single filter drain plug. Open the filter air bleeder and any closed pool line valves. Turn off the breaker to prevent the pump from starting without water. Once power is restored, replace the plugs, prime the pump, and restart it.

If, unfortunately, your pool equipment has already frozen solid due to a missed opportunity to take preventive measures, here’s a course of action. Firstly, shut off all power at the breaker. Cover the frozen equipment with heavy woolen blankets, creating a makeshift ‘tent.’ Safely position a small space heater inside the tent and monitor closely until thawed, inspecting for potential cracks. If repairs are necessary, drain the equipment until it can be properly fixed.

As this current winter storm unfolds, it is crucial for homeowners, especially pool owners, to be proactive and take these steps to ensure the safety and functionality of their pool equipment in the face of extreme weather conditions.

• Turn off power to the pump motor, lights and other equipment at circuit box. Disconnect gas from heater; if possible, have your gas supplier or pool service disconnect it to be safe.
• Consider removing diving boards or slides if you fear they won’t be secure in high winds; if you decide to remove them, try to have a professional do it.

What to do when it FREEZES --- Swimming Pools

It’s rare to see freezing temperatures in Central Florida. When the outdoor air temperature reaches 32 degrees or lower, the freeze can damage plumbing and/or pool equipment.

• Make sure the water level for the pool is in the middle of the skimmer (tile of the pool) and the skimmer is opened for water flow.
• Variable Speed Pumps and Automation Controller will turn on automatically and circulate the pool.
• If you do not have a Variable Speed Pump and/or Any Automation -- Make sure to turn the pump(s) on, including and additional pumps for water features.
• If you have a gas heater, shut the gas off as the heater may turn on when the automation controller rotates between the pool and spa every 15 minutes.
• Do not turn any pool heaters on – If you have a bypass valve for the heater make sure it is opened for water flow.
• Do not use any electrical heaters, blankets, portable gas heater and/or heat lamps around the pool equipment.

Stay safe and Happy Holidays

Hurricane Season Pool Preparation
Hurricane season takes place June 1st through November 30th in Florida.

There are many ways you should prepare for hurricane season – here are some helpful tips from the Florida Swimming Pool Association to protect your swimming pool, hot tub and patio area from the next hurricane or tropical storm.

Before:
—Do not drain your pool! Keep proper water levels in your pool, the weight of the water holds the sides and bottoms in place during the hurricane or tropical storm.
—Trim branches and remove potential threats to your swimming pool and patio
—Shock your pool – you may lose power for an extended amount of time, meaning your pool should be ‘super chlorinated’ – this will help your pool’s water chemistry.
—Turn off all power at the circuit breakers before a storm hits. Any exposed electrical equipment such as motors for the pumps should be tightly covered with plastic wrap. If flooding is expected, attempt to remove and place at higher ground.
—Remove any loose objects such as chairs, tables, pool equipment and even toys. These items can become projectiles in high wind storms.
—If you cannot store certain pool deck items inside for the storm, you can gently place them into your pool for safe keeping – do not throw any items into your pool. Throwing can items can create leaks or damage your pool
—Be especially weary if you have a vinyl or fiberglass pool
—Never put glass items into your pool, they must be taken inside

During:
—Do not use your pool directly before, during or after the hurricane or tropical storm – lightning, high winds and other dangers are unpredictable
—Do not go outside to check on or change anything during the storm – assess damage afte

After:
—Do not immediately turn your pumps back on after the storm has passed
—Remove debris from the pool with a net, skimmer or pool rake – do not use your regular pool vacuum equipment or pool pumps as they are likely to clog the plumbing
—Before touching any electrical equipment after the storm, be sure that everything is dry. Check circuit breakers to be sure they are off before attempting to reconnect electrical equipment such as pump motors. Inspect wiring for proper connections. If electric motors have been exposed to water, they should be checked by a professional.
—Shock your pool again, this will help begin the process of getting your pool back into balance

During hurricane season, remember to prepare yourself and your swimming pool for safety.

Just a few fact about Alligators from John Zawacki

If you’re in fresh or stagnant water (natural or man-made) in Florida, know that alligators could be anywhere. If you are near the waters edge be vigilant.

From April to June alligators become more active and aggressive as they search for the perfect partner to ensure their future survival as a species. They are also aggressive if they are guarding a nest or their babies.

In 2021, a total of 21 bite incidents were reported to the FWC and 9 were determined to involve an alligator and be unprovoked.”

Unprovoked bites are defined as bites on people by wild alligators, which were not provoked by handling or intentional harassment.

• Keep a safe distance if you see an alligator. If someone is concerned about an alligator, they should call FWC’s toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286), and they will dispatch a contracted nuisance alligator trapper to resolve the situation. If you live in a HOA call one of the board members or management company as FWC will usually request a call from them rather than Individual homeowners.

• Keep pets on a leash and away from the water’s edge. Pets often resemble alligators’ natural prey.

• Alligator diet includes prey that is easy to find and available often

• Adult alligators eat snakes, turtles, smaller mammals, small birds, large/rough fish

• Swim only in designated swimming areas during daylight hours and without your pet. Alligators are most active between dusk and dawn

• If an alligator hisses at you, it is like a dog growling a warning. Get away fast.

• Never feed an alligator. Feeding alligators is illegal and dangerous. When fed, alligators can lose their natural wariness people and instead learn to associate people with the availability of food

One final note:
Alligators will constantly move from pond to pond as temperature and sunlight levels change. They’ll also move whenever they either end up competing with other animals or have to compete with one another for food and other resources.
