When a dry spell or a bona fide drought hits the area, it’s important to preserve as much water as possible. However, if you have above-ground or in ground pools, there's a chance you might be wasting some of this precious resource. The Pool Pro experts in Kihei, HI, have a few great ideas to help you conserve water for the environment and to help keep your own utility costs down. 

The following tips will help prevent your swimming pool from becoming a water waster:

  • Purchase A Pool Cover: Purchasing and installing a pool cover can help contain the water in your swimming pool and keep it from evaporating when the pool is not in use. A cover can also prevent strong winds from causing your pool water to spill over the edge.
  • swimming-poolsDrain Only When Necessary: While draining and refilling your pool may feel like a clean, fresh start, pool water that is properly maintained most likely needs to be changed far more infrequently than you might imagine. Keep up on your pool water treatment to avoid the need to drain and refill—the environment will thank you!
  • Shut Off Fountains & Waterfalls: If your swimming pool has gorgeous waterfalls and fountains, it might be time to turn them off for a while. While they definitely add a touch of style, they also lose a ton of water to evaporation. Use them only when you’re using the pool to cut down on waste.

As you can see, it isn't too hard to keep water in your in-ground pools. These tips are also applicable to above-ground pools, especially those used heavily on hot summer days.
