Water efficient pool behavior and maintenance
Some simple tips can keep your water in the pool and avoid water wasting refills and expensive chemical treatments.
Avoid overfilling your pool as this will prevent your filter from working effectively and will cause water to overflow. The water level should be about half way up the skimmer box opening for the filter to function properly. If you want to allow the water level of your pool to drop below this, you will need to buy a T-piece suction line which connects to the skimmer box allowing the filter to function normally.
Changing pool behaviour
Concentrate on keeping water in the pool. Try the following:
- Discourage pool users from bombing and continually getting out and jumping back into the pool.
- Drip dry on the top step so that water goes back into the pool.
Pool maintenance
Consider the following pool maintenance tips:
- Backwash only when necessary.
- Check regularly for cracks and leaks.
- Keep the pool and filters clean to reduce frequency of filter backwashing.
- If acid has been used to clean the pool, the water should be neutralised.
