How to avoid or reduce evaporation of swimming pool water?
Posté leWater evaporation is a natural phenomenon that transforms water into water vapor. Evaporation therefore requires adding water to the pool to maintain a sufficient water level for the filtration system to function properly.
Exposure to the sun, wind, and outside air temperature are parameters that increase the evaporation of pool water during the season.
Although it is difficult to completely eliminate water evaporation in the swimming pool, it is possible to reduce it and thus limit water inputs during the season.
Simple actions that reduce water evaporation
Upstream of the swimming pool project
Since controlling elements like wind is impossible, it is advisable to take the presence of wind into account during the planning phase of your swimming pool project. Logically, the pool should not be installed in windy areas of your property, since it is important to prioritize bathing comfort and also to avoid increasing evaporation.
If the land does not offer any real opportunities to choose the location and the swimming pool is exposed to the wind, planting a hedge or building a wall can limit exposure to the wind.
Check the water temperature
An overheated pool will contribute to increased water loss, especially if it is not covered in the evening when the air temperature drops.
Also, when exposure to the sun is very high, especially during very hot weather, a few simple actions can help control the temperature of the pool water:
– Reducing the heat pump's set temperature by 1 or 2 degrees will not only save you energy but also water.
– Swimming pools covered with a shelter or other equipment promoting the greenhouse effect must be ventilated.
Cover your swimming pool
It is important to cover your pool in windy conditions or when outside temperatures drop below the water temperature.
Equip your swimming pool with a cover or shelter
Evaporation most often occurs in the evening or at night when the outside air temperature drops and comes into contact with the temperature of the warm pool water. This releases water vapor, which is evaporation, onto the surface of the water. It is therefore important to properly cover your pool to prevent this encounter between the outside air and the pool water.
Covering your pool at the end of the day is the only solution to limit evaporation.
Whether it's bubble covers, bar covers, roller shutters, or pool shelters, today's equipment is designed to improve bather comfort and protect the environment. This equipment allows you to save on your heating budget, limit your consumption of cleaning products, and also limit the amount of water added to your pool by reducing water evaporation.
The range of peripheral equipment is wide and prices vary depending on the specifics of the product.
