5 ways to reduce water consumption in your Desjoyaux swimming pool

Choosing the Right Cover Equipment for Your Pool

The importance of covering your swimming pool

Pool covers provide essential protection during the swimming season and the wintering period. They protect the pool from external pollution and meet specific needs depending on the model chosen.

Coverage options

Desjoyaux offers a wide range of all-season and special winter safety covers, including flexible models such as bar covers, winter nets, and opaque covers. All of these products comply with the NF P 90308 safety standard. Bar covers, which can be used year-round, and nets and opaque covers, designed primarily for winter storage, are effective options for securing your pool.

Reduce evaporation and save water

In addition to limiting evaporation, these covers protect the pool from external pollution. They maintain good water quality and reduce chemical consumption, thus contributing to substantial savings.
Pool enclosures, in addition to securing your pool (compliant with NF P 90309), extend the swimming season and naturally heat the pool water thanks to the greenhouse effect they provide. They combine aesthetics, simplicity, and ease of use.

Choosing an effective filtration system

Saving water with Desjoyaux filtration systems

The Desjoyaux pipe-free concept, positioned on the structure or integrated into the structure (depending on the model selected), has the advantage of limiting heavy work involved in installing technical rooms and is water-efficient.
The risk of leaks is limited since the filtration unit includes all the pipes necessary for operation. Cleaning the filter media of a Desjoyaux filtration system consumes 1.1 m3 of water per year, which is almost 10 times less water than traditional filtration systems with backwashing.

Reducing long-term operating costs

The effectiveness of Desjoyaux filtration units is no longer in doubt: the absence of buried pipes limits pressure losses and makes it possible to filter all the water in a 40 m3 swimming pool in less than 3 hours.
The absence of pipes connecting a remote technical room to the pool avoids major work and therefore significant installation costs. Finally, a filtration unit operates with lower energy costs, offering substantial savings in the long term.

Adjust your pool size and temperature management

Impact of pool size on water consumption

Reducing the size and depth of swimming pools by 25% compared to those of the 1990s not only reduces maintenance costs but also reduces water consumption. This trend towards smaller pools, incorporating wellness features, addresses space constraints and rising land costs.

Water temperature management to limit evaporation

Managing pool water temperature is crucial to controlling evaporation. Reducing the heat pump temperature by 1 or 2 degrees can significantly reduce water loss while saving energy. Additionally, covering the pool during windy periods or when outdoor temperatures drop is essential to minimize nighttime evaporation.

Opt for energy-efficient solutions

Adopting energy-efficient technologies such as eco-certified heat pumps, which provide up to 80% of the heat for free, is an effective strategy for reducing both energy consumption and energy consumption. These systems allow you to enjoy pleasant pool water without incurring excessive costs or negatively impacting the environment.

Landscaping and strategic pool placement

Using hedges or walls as windbreaks can be essential for reducing evaporation from your pool. By blocking the wind, these structures reduce the amount of water lost. Regarding the influence of wind and sun on evaporation, it has been found that a thermal pool cover can minimize the effects of excessive evaporation caused by these elements.

Conclusion

For many years, pool professionals have been working to find ever-innovative solutions for water management that help limit water consumption. Owning a pool and being eco-responsible are compatible, as some filtration models consume very little water, and pool professionals are working to promote good water-saving practices and find ever-innovative solutions for water management.

It is essential to continue exploring and encouraging the search for innovative solutions for water management in the swimming pool sector, thus promoting a future where the balance between pleasure and environmental preservation is achieved. By adopting these strategies, we not only ensure we reduce our ecological impact, but we also work towards the long-term sustainability of our water resources.
