As Queensland heads into another hot summer, pool owners across North Lakes, Rothwell, Deception Bay and Narangba are feeling the pinch—not just from the sun, but from rising water and electricity bills 💸.

Thankfully, there are smart, sustainable ways to enjoy your pool without draining your wallet or the planet. At Atlantis Pool Services, we help locals upgrade their pool systems and habits to be more eco-friendly while still soaking up all the fun ☀️.

Here are our top tips for an energy-efficient, water-wise pool this summer.

1. Install a Variable Speed Pump ⚙️  

Traditional single-speed pumps operate at full power all the time, using excessive energy. A variable speed pump can be programmed to run more efficiently at different speeds depending on filtration needs.

“Many of our customers save hundreds of dollars each year just by making this one change,” says Kylie Rojahn, owner of Atlantis Pool Services. “It’s quieter, more durable, and pays for itself over time.”

We supply and install industry-leading variable speed pumps that are perfect for the South East Queensland climate.

2. Use a Pool Cover Consistently 🛡️  

A pool cover can reduce water evaporation by up to 90%. That’s thousands of litres saved every year—plus less top-up water and fewer chemicals required.

“Pool covers also keep leaves and insects out, reducing your cleaning time,” Kylie adds. “And solar covers even help heat the pool naturally.”

Australian-made pool covers that are easy to install and maintain.

3. Upgrade to a Mineral Pool System 🧖‍♀️  

Mineral pools are gentler on skin, eyes, and the environment. They use fewer chemicals and maintain water balance more easily, leading to lower long-term maintenance costs.

“Families love mineral systems because they feel better in the water,” Kylie says. “And they’re a great way to move towards a more sustainable lifestyle.”

We offer full conversions and hybrid mineral-chlorine options, plus ongoing support and product supply.

4. Fix Leaks Early 🚰  

A small pool leak can waste thousands of litres of water and strain your pump and filter. If you notice your water level dropping faster than normal, it’s time to act.

“We recommend the bucket test for detecting leaks,” Kylie says. “come in and oour friendly team will explain the process.”

5. Run Equipment During Off-Peak Hours ⏰  

In Queensland, running your pump and chlorinator between 6am and 6pm, leveraging the solar hours, can reduce energy bills and help the grid. If using a variable speed pump, you can run it longer at lower speeds to boost efficiency.

6. Regular Eco-Friendly Maintenance 🧑‍🔧  

Consistent professional servicing ensures your pool runs efficiently. We optimise filtration, water balance, and equipment use to lower your resource use.

“A well-maintained pool uses fewer chemicals and less power,” Kylie notes. “It also lasts longer, which means less waste in the long run.”
