How I can save money on my energy bills using the Jandy Lite2 LJ Heater?
The best way to save money on your energy bills with a swimming pool heater is to understand that it works just like a thermostat for your home heating needs. The higher you set the thermostat the harder the heater will work and the more energy you will use. The American Red Cross recommends that swimming pool heaters be set at about 78 degrees or less. If you set it any higher you are actually using about 40% more in gas. This will cost you money rather than save you. If you are planning a vacation, there is no reason for the heater to be on. Read the directions on the instruction manual on how to shut down the heater properly. This can also save you money by learning how the heater works. When the heater is on, try to protect the heater from winds and well-trimmed bushes; this will help reduce the cost of maintenance. A great way to keep the heat loss in is to use a solar blanket cover at night.
