10 Handy tips on reducing water consumption from your pool

10 Handy tips on reducing water consumption from your pool :

1. Be aware of the normal water loss per day from your swimming pool, request an expert to
provide details.
2. Check water consumption on a regular basis. One possible way is to install a separate
‘water meter’ to keep track of the water consumption for the swimming pool.
3. Incase water consumption is abnormal, request a professional to carry out a ‘leak test’
immediately.
4. Regularly check the pool plantroom for signs of any leakage from the plumbing, valves,
equipment etc.
5. Use pool covers, to limit evaporation losses and control pool water temperature. Dual
purpose pool covers are available in the market, these assist with keeping the water warm
during winter and cool during summer.
6. During winters if the pool is not being used regularly, avoid heating the pool water to save
electricity and limit evaporation losses.
7. Ensure that all valves are functioning efficiently and are maintained in the correct position
to avoid any water losses.
8. Considerable amount of water is lost during the backwash cycle of the pool filters, for large
pools a backwash water recovery system should be considered.
9. For pools with an ‘overflow system’, ensure that there is no leakage through the surge tank.
10. Ensure that the drains in the overflow channels are not clogged and are working efficiently
to avoid any water losses through flooding of these channels onto the deck.
