Having a swimming pool necessitates some significant financial decisions. While some pool equipment upgrades can help you save money on your monthly bills, others can actually increase them substantially and for no good reason! Pool equipment, such as heat pumps and generators for salt water pools, typically take a year or two before they begin paying off on their initial investment. Here are five swimming pool equipment upgrades that every homeowner should know about because they add better value to owning and maintaining a pool.

Many homeowners worry if it's worth the time and money to upgrade to a variable-speed pump. The ability to simply turn down your pump reduces energy use, but there's more to it than that. Before you spend the money on a flashy new variable speed pool pump, find out how it can help you save money.

To keep your pool water clean, pool pumps don't have to run at max speed all of the time. In reality, when filtering water, your pump can operate at a far lower speed than when performing more demanding tasks, such as running a water feature.
