Many people are enjoying the last few days of summer in their backyard, grilling, cutting the grass, and lounging in the pool.
While reading earth911.com, I stumbled on a really neat article: 8 Ways to Green your Pool.
Some of the tips include: Switch your pool to a saltwater pool (to avoid the chemicals), use a solar pool cover, and planting shrubs and trees around your pool to fight water evaporation.
You can read the whole article, written by Lindsey Wilson of Earth911.com on their website and read other tips on GreenYour.com, or Discovery’s Planet Green.

Those are great tips. Another is that a geothermal heating and cooling system can be used to heat your pool also.
Here is another great solution. www.woodstovepools.com
This company has designed a pool heater that is the most cost effective way to heat your pool or hot tub that is on the market today. If you have a property that produces yard waste (wood) this is the best way to dispose of it while also heating your pool. If you burn wood to heat your home, order an extra bush cord per year to heat your pool. Depending on your climate, one bush cord is more then enough wood to heat your pool from May to October (Canadian Climate). By owning our direct fired pool heater “WSP Silverdome” you will have paid for your investment in one pool season just from the money you would have spent on propane or gas. www.woodstovepools.com
