Add a timer to your pool filter…

and you could save over $85 every year!

Your swimming pool water doesn't need to be filtered nonstop to stay clean. Just add a timer to your pool filter and program it as shown in the charts ­below for your type of pool, and you'll save.

Potential savings of over $85 a year*

* Actual savings depend on load factor, motor efficiency and amount of time your pool pump is off.
** The colder the water, the less it needs to be filtered.

Any other benefits?

A timer will put your mind at rest, because you won't have to worry about turning the filter on and off manually. But there are other advantages, too.

  • Maintain pool water quality
  • Reduce noise of filtration system at night
  • Help protect the environment

Plus, you'll recoup your investment in less than a year.
