tips to prevent pool water from evaporation

Water evaporation
  • Evaporation occurs when the pool surface is
    exposed to air and wind.
  • The water molecules rise up from the top of the
    water, form into vapour, and escape into the
    atmosphere.
  • Evaporation also occurs on cool nights, when a
    heated pool loses water volume as the water forms
    into mist in the chilly air

3
  • Depending on weather conditions like heat, wind,
    sunlight, and humidity, your water level can drop
    a quarter of an inch each day.
  • Even after the sun goes down and the temperature
    drops, evaporation can occur.
  • Heated pools on cool nights experience
    evaporation more rapidly. This is also why heated
    pools lose most of their heat overnight.

Evaporation Prevention methods
  • Cover your pool.
  • First and foremost method is to use a pool cover.
  • Its the number-one tactic to conserve water.
  • Offer other benefits, such as they keep more
    heat inside, reducing energy demands on your
    pool equipment. They also keep your pool
    cleaner, and depending on the type of cover, keep
    it safer as well.

5
  • Turn off any water features.
  • Fountains, waterfalls, and laminar sprayers, as
    well pool slides with water flowing down their
    runways can add beauty, sound, and extra fun to
    your backyard resort.
  • All the above techniques increase the amount of
    water surface exposed to the air and sunlight
    and that extra exposure leads to extra
    evaporation.
  • Turn off these features to prevent needless
    evaporation

6
  • Reduce water temperature
  • Lowering the pool thermostat is a simple,
    effective way to slow evaporation.
  • Because the warmer water has faster-moving
    molecules that more easily vaporize, and float
    away.
  • Cold water is more resistant to evaporation.

7
  • Add windbreaks
  • Wind can speed up evaporation of pool water.
  • A barrier placed around the pool to curb the
    winds speed and has the ability to directly
    hit the water surface.
  • These barriers can take a couple of forms.
    Landscaping is one.

8
conclusion
  • Pool covers have been the most common means of
    preventing pool water evaporation.
  • They also keep your pool cleaner, and depending
    on the type of cover, keep it safer as well.
  • It reduces the chemical usage and reduces the
    amount of time you operate your pump and filter.

9
  • There are several different covers you can
    purchase for your swimming pool. To know more
