Quick tips for reducing usage
- Heating tape should be put on a thermostat or timer. Unnecessary heating can otherwise add up quickly.
- If you are able to do so, put your dehumidifier on a timer and only use as needed.
- Only run pumps for as long as they are needed. If the pump is always in use, make sure that it cycles on and off and does
not run continuously.
- With swimming pool pumps, check the manufacturer’s recommendations or consult the dealer whom you bought the pump from to
determine how long/ often you should run your pump. This may vary by season and geographic region.
