Summer is a wonderful time to cool off and get the pool ready, but it is also a time of increased water consumption. That is why it is important to take measures to save water and be responsible in its use, as it is a very valuable and increasingly scarce resource.
From Espígul, we would like to offer you some simple and practical tips to save water in your pool this summer and above all, how to get your pool ready to enjoy moments with friends and family.
Proper maintenance:
Good maintenance of your pool is essential to avoid unnecessary water losses. Check regularly for leaks or drips in the filtering system - if so, don't wait any longer and find a solution!
It is also important to clean the filters on a regular basis to make sure they are working efficiently and avoid wasting water.
Cover the pool:
A simple and effective way to reduce water loss through evaporation is to cover the pool when it is not in use. This can be a floating cover or a thermal cover to help maintain the water temperature. This is a good solution to prevent excessive evaporation of water. It will also help to keep the water clean and reduce the need for frequent refills.
Monitor the water level:
Keep a regular eye on the water level in your pool. If you find it is too low, add only as much as necessary to reach the optimum level. Avoid filling the pool to overflowing, as this will only lead to misuse of the water and can also lead to fungus and deterioration of the materials around the pool.
Recycled water:
If you have a rainwater harvesting system or other source of recycled water, use it to fill your pool. This will save drinking water and reduce the impact on the water resources in your area.
Responsible use:
Encourage responsible use of pool water among your family members or guests. Remind them to be careful to avoid wasting water while swimming and not to play splashing games with others, as this is the most common case of water misuse. We know that the pool is a place for fun, but this summer you can still enjoy it and at the same time be more responsible with the use of water.
With the simple changes suggested above, you will be starting to manage your pool water more conscientiously. You will also find that you will have saved a significant amount of water over the summer.
These water saving tips will help you enjoy your pool while helping to preserve this vital resource. Do your best to be water conscious and encourage others to do the same.
Now you know all about how to tune your pool and save water.
