Residential pools add value and comfort year-round, yet upkeep of this warm water can be costly both financially and energetically. Keeping its temperature constant can be costly; keeping up can increase energy bills significantly as well.
There are now some innovative products on the market designed to make pools more energy-efficient and sustainable, which we discussed with some industry experts from local pools in our region. We sat down and discussed which could best meet the needs of your home pool.
There are various solutions available to keep your swimming pool warm and sustainable, but installing an eco-friendly heating system is your best bet. A high-efficiency gas or solar heating system will save money in the long run while decreasing carbon emissions – plus they’re easy to set up with accessories designed specifically to complement your pool!
For more information about installing an eco-friendly pool, speak with a local pool contractor or shop. Make sure to review customer references and comments, meet potential contractors personally and confirm whether or not they are New South Wales Certified Service Professionals.
Sydney is famous for its sea baths, offering breathtaking scenic views and sandy beaches in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. However, when it comes to pools for leisurely swims or relaxation in general, nothing quite sets Sydney apart like Coogee Wylie’s Baths or Bondi Beach Pool on its northern beaches – truly iconic places with historic significance that set Sydney apart as a city.
Both structures were constructed during community improvement projects during the Great Depression to help unemployed locals earn an income and establish the city as a world-renowned swimming destination.
Sea pools may no longer be practical to build, but their legacy remains. You’re likely to come across them on “must-do” or “best outdoor pools” lists online; yet why haven’t any been built recently?
Bondi Beach pool project has been an exemplary example of how not to go about undertaking major infrastructure work. Wracked with internal council disputes, allegations of pork-barrelling and lack of transparency as well as heritage preservation issues and health concerns, its completion has now been postponed until 2025.
No matter the climate or our carbon footprint debates, many still enjoy swimming for exercise, relaxation or socialising with friends. Swimming’s benefits go well beyond exercise; whether that means exercise, relaxation or socialisation with friends; so making your swimming pool more eco-friendly should benefit both you and the planet – using equipment, knowhow and creative design solutions such as those provided by Australia’s premier pool designers and manufacturers are great ways of greening up an outdoor space – click through for their top tips!
