Cut energy costs this winter by adjusting your pool pumps running time.

During the Spring and Summer months, BMR Pool and Patio recommends running your swimming pool pump for 10-12 hours. This run time ensures optimal chlorination and filtration, keeping algae and other dirt away!

However, during the winter months, the water in your swimming pool can drop below 40 degrees F. The cold temperature makes it very difficult for algae to grow. Therefore, it is not necessary to keep your swimming pool pump running for 10-12 hours like you would in the heat of the Spring or Summer. Instead, you can get away with running it for about half the time, roughly 4-6 hours.

So you might be wondering, how does running my swimming pool pump half the time save me money? Well running a pump requires an output of energy… less running time equates to less energy, and less energy equates to less money.

So, save money this winter and cut your costs in half by shortening the running time of your swimming pool pump. And hey, then you can use the money that would have been spent running your pump on something else you might enjoy, like an outdoor patio or grill!

Not sure how I can speak high enough of just how impressed we were with BMR with our Pool and Gable. From start to finish it was just an awesome experience. The level of communication and follow up was outstanding. Ky was the best to work with and the entire BMR team was amazing.

BMR is amazing. Professional, polite, timely, excellent work, fair price and they leave the workspace clean at the end of each day. Deliver what they promise without high pressure sales tactics. They stay engaged with the homeowner to ensure everything is done to specifications even if the homeowner requests changes. The before and after photos speak for themselves.

I highly recommend BMR! I just finished my fourth project with them over the last 20 years and 3 houses. This was a pool and patio extension which turned out beautifully. They are great at keeping you informed of every step in the process and moving things along quickly. Every person was easy to work with. Great team!

Fantastic experience with BMR. From design to finished pool, they were a solid company that stands by their word. We had a great project manager (Justin) and a highly engaged team to include personal involvement from company owners. And, they finished on time for our summer pool season.

My pool was finally finished last week. It seemed like a long time of construction and mud, but in this time of shortages and delivery issues, BMR did get it completed. Everyone at BMR beginning with Ryland, Heather, and Mike, and the ownership were considerate and efficient. They did exactly what they promised; they delivered a beautiful pool! I am extremely happy with my second BMR pool.

BMR just completed our second pool with them and it turned out beautiful again. Tyler M nailed our design request with a modern spin on a lagoon pool and Mason Thane was great to work with throughout the project as the project manager. I was most impressed with the quality and detail of the stone masons (Jose) on my retaining wall , grotto and outdoor kitchen. Very good experience and high quality result!

Just finished our pool and outdoor living with BMR. We couldn’t be more thrilled! It is challenging times right now to build a pool and Mason was great at communicating and keeping the project moving. Given Mason’s experience he offered great suggestions to make our pool design the best. Thank you BMR and Mason!!

We choose BMR Pool and Patio to design and build this pool and outdoor living area 4 years ago. If you are going to invest in a project of this type, go with one of the best in the area. From the time we walked in to discuss design, right on through project completion BMR was top shelf.
