Everywhere you look more and more people are going green when it comes to their household purchases. A swimming pool remodeling company in Arizona named Aquavida Pools is attempting to take the green movement by storm with the introduction of "green" products for your swimming pool.

Single owner swimming pools use an alarmingly high amount of energy to run. With the cost of pools going down and more and more people jumping on board the single owner swimming pool bandwagon, going Green is really the only way to go.

According to Green Living Online, "With just over eight million pools in the U.S. and more than 600,000 in Canada, there is a growing awareness that single owner pools may not be the most environmentally friendly form of recreation." They use a lot of electricity and gas with pumps to circulate the water through filters and heaters, typically running 24 hours a day. This is unnecessary when the average pool owner only spends about an hour a day swimming.

Aquavida Pools aware of this and is in full swing with a variety of Alternative and Low Energy Efficient products for pool owners looking to "Go Green". According to their website this, "Arizona based swimming pool remodeling company encourages the use of environmentally responsible swimming pool products by incorporating healthy, resourceful, energy-efficient products, materials, and methods in the design and construction of swimming pools"

Going Green with your swimming pool is not just a hot trend, it will save you money. They offer products such as TightWatt Digital Pool Timer that will reduce costs by utilizing its self-adjusting pool filter run-times year-round. Pool Owners' can become less dependent on high output products using outdated technologies. They can upgrade to more environmentally friendly, cost saving, "Green" products.

According to the Aquavida website,"Almost every manufacturer has developed enhanced products with low Amperage or Solar pumps to decrease energy bills from homeowners and to increase the value of homes living green," says Thomas Lopez of Aquavida Pools.

Even if you don't live in Scottsdale Arizona you can check out their website for updated consumer information and Energy Saving tips for pool owners.
