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.
