Water is an important natural resource. We use it everyday at home and at work in so many ways that we take it for granted. However, water is no longer the "sure thing" that it was in the past. We need to reassess our attitude about water and how to conserve it. Below is about pool water conservation and what we can do to reduce the water it uses.

Pool Water Conservation is Simple...

• Use a cover on your pool when it is not in use to reduce evaporation.
• The standard pool winterizing procedure in the past has been to drop the water level to an inch or two below the skimmer face place, to protect the skimmer housing from ice damage.
• This procedure is now unnecessary since the advent of ice compensating devices.
• Installation of such a device simply requires screwing into the skimmer throat.
• And saves you a few thousand gallons of water otherwise lost.
• Of the two types of winter pool covers, solid and mesh, the solid covers offers some extra water-saving advantages.
• The solid cover seals pool water and winter chemistry and seals out dirt and debris.
• On the other hand, a mesh cover allows rain and snow to go directly into the reservoir, your swimming pool.
• Position your downspouts so rain water runs onto the lawn or into the garden or into the swimming pool, not down the driveway.
• Purchase and use water-saving equipment.
• Have service professionals check for leaks in and around pools and spas to reduce water loss.
• When it does rain or snow, transfer the water that accumulates on cover to the pool.
• Set strict rules about splashing in pools to reduce water loss.
• Reduce improper care leading to excess draining, cleaning and backwashing by consulting a qualified pool professional on proper care of pool.
• When filling pools, avoid filling to the top to minimize waste.
• Reduce backwash cycles.
• Use Solar blankets to reduce evaporation and energy costs.
