Swim longer while saving on fuel cost! As summer draws to a close, we pool-owners tend to roll out the pool cover and run through our pool winterizing checklist. We leave our pools to hibernate and, often, it's the best excuse to abandon that fine morning work-out. For most of us, especially given the rising energy prices, it is unthinkable to keep our exercise regimen, our family-and-friends pool gatherings and relaxing therapeutic aquatic sessions going at the expense of higher pool heating bills. Think again. You can still enjoy your pool. Better yet, you can do that by heating your pool in an environmentally conscious manner – adding zero additional costs to your monthly utility bills.
