5 Pool Water Conservation Tips for Nashville Pool Owners

Having a swimming pool in the Nashville area does mean needing to use more water than the average non pool owner. But pool owners can be smart about how they preserve their water and significantly decrease their pool water loss by practicing these 5 pool water conservation tips:

1. Cover Your Pool – You will lose a lot of water during the hot summer months due to water evaporation. By covering your poolwhenever it is not in use, you can reduce this evaporation by as much as 97%. This means less pool refills, as well as better pool water heat retention and less debris in your water.

2. Routinely Check for Leaks – When performing your regular maintenance rounds, see if there is any pool water in places it shouldn’t be. A soggy lawn or inexplicable changes in water levels may indicate a pool leak. Check the pool and its components, and strongly consider calling a professional to investigate and repair your pool.

3. Refill Your Pool in Spring and Fall – Choosing to refill your pool in early spring and November rather than during the summer time will result in less water wasted due to evaporation. Another benefit is that since water isn’t in such high demand during these seasons, most can fill their pool in the spring or fall more inexpensively than if they do so during the summer.

4. Don’t Overfill – While on the topic of refilling the pool, make sure that you do not unnecessarily overfill your pool. Grab your hose and add only whatever inches are necessary on the day you are scheduled to water your lawn. Some may choose to use an auto-fill device, though a hose timer is usually more accurate.

5. Add Splash Troughs – Splashing during the summer months is usually the primary cause of losing significant amounts of pool water in a week. Pool owners can minimize their water loss by having splash troughs installed around the pool. These very shallow lanes are able to capture most water that has splashed or spilled out of the pool and then channel the water directly into your pool.
