This helps to keep the debris to a minimum and also keeps the water healthy. Many pumps have now been designed with the environment in mind, and offer energy saving technology to help keep the costs down. Unfortunately, the pump does tend to need to be on all day, which does use a lot of energy which is why it is a good idea to buy a pump that is eco-friendly.
