Pool

  1. #118

    Use a pool cover to help keep your pool clean, reduce chemical use and prevent water loss through evaporation.

  2. #119

    Make sure your swimming pools, fountains and ponds are equipped with recirculating pumps.

  3. #120

    If you have an automatic refilling device, check your pool periodically for leaks.

  4. #121

    When back-washing your pool, consider using the water on salt-tolerant plants in the landscape.

  5. #122

    Minimize or eliminate the use of waterfalls and sprays in your pool. Aeration increases evaporation.

  6. #123

    Don’t overfill the pool. Lower water levels will reduce water loss due to splashing.

  7. #124

    Keep water in the pool when playing, it will save water.

  8. #125

    Instead of building a private pool, join a community pool.

  9. #126

    Trickling or cascading fountains lose less water to evaporation than those that spray water into the air.

  10. #127

    Use a grease pencil to conduct a bucket test to check for pool leaks. An unnatural water level drop may indicate a leak.
