Water Saving Tips for Swimming Pools
Save water by implementing these tips to reduce losses of water and energy resources from your swimming pool.
Limit the frequency of pool refilling
Cover the pool
The average uncovered pool loses one inch of water per week
Covering the pool can save 95% of water lost to evaporation
Conserves heat (which can save money for heating costs)
Prevents accidents
Reduces cleaning
Lower the pool’s water to reduce losses from splashing
It’s recommended to keep the water level one inch above the bottom of the tile
Lower the pool temperature
Reducing the temperature reduces water loss to evaporation, and is particularly important when the pool is not being used
Backwash only when necessary
Check regularly for cracks and leaks
Keep the pool and filters clean to reduce frequency of filter backwashing
Run filter backwash onto lawns and shrubs or collect for reuse
Ensure that water is absorbed before it leaves your property and avoid allowing runoff to enter adjacent properties
If acid has been used to clean the pool, the water should be neutralized
