Turn the night into money saving activities
You can save money at night by running your pool pump on off peak electricity. Just note whether your pump will disturb you or your neighbors sleep though. If need be, acquire a soundproof cover to ensure everyone gets a good night’s sleep, while your pool pump and filtration system does its thing.
So easy to set up and save you money. Start tonight.
Another approach is to look at a variable speed pump.
So instead of say operating your pump 6 hours in every 24 to turn over the pool water once, a variable speed pump runs longer, but at a slower speed and consumes less electricity. One example compared a normal pump of 2000 watts running 6.3 hrs per day and consuming 12.6 kWh, per 24 hours. A variable speed pump running 19 hours on 116 Watts consumed only 2.2 kWh’s per 24-hour period. A saving of 10.4 kWh. So, this may be another way to save, run longer but at a slower speed.
The variable speed pump will cost more initially but runs quieter and over a year will probably pay for itself. Go, check them out.
