In some areas of the country, water is at a real premium. A real water waster is that nighttime temperature drop. The evaporation that you steaming into the air at night and in the early morning hours is gallons of wasted water. So it makes sense to use a pool cover to save water. Prevent evaporation and you will not only save water, you will save money. The chart shows you just how many gallons of water you uncovered pool wastes each and every week through evaporation.
Directions: Measure your weekly water loss at the pool
tile line. Then read the 'Pool Size' line.
Example: 1" of evaporation per week from a 16' x 32' pool would equal a
loss of 320 gallons of water/wk.
