Pools, Hot Tubs, and Water Features

​Follow these tips to make them more efficient.

Pools & hot tubs

• Cover your pool or hot tub to prevent heat loss from the water.
• Use a cover to prevent evaporation from your pool or hot tub.
• Replace your hot tub motor with a newer, energy-efficient model.
• Regularly check pipes, hoses and connections for leaks.

Fountains & water features

• Adjust the direction and pressure of spraying water (such as in a fountain) to prevent splashing.
• Shut off your water features when it's rainy, windy or very hot.
• Pay close attention to the condition of your water features (ponds, fountains and waterfalls) to ensure they don't use more water than they should.
• Use a timer to cut back on extraneous use of fountains and other features that require electricity.
