Many Newport Coast homeowners are concerned about the impact their pool might be making on the environment during the drought. It turns out that they don’t need to be concerned about their swimming pool’s water usage after all. Jared Benson, owner of Beachside Pool Service, a Newport Coast pool service company, explains:

 “Under normal circumstances, evaporation in a swimming pool is less than ¼” a day or less. That’s about the same amount of water loss from a grass lawn of the same size. Swimming pools don’t use more water than the equivalent amount of yard”

Jared has years of experience with pool service, so he speaks from experience. Water management agencies are learning what he has known all along. When Santa Margarita issued a ban on filling pools, they ended up walking it back when faced with scientific evidence. Their own water use analysis showed that it may take thousands of gallons to fill a pool but after that the usage drops to the level of regular landscape or less.

 Minimize Water Loss

Evaporation rates can be slowed by the use of solar blankets or covers. Also, spillways and waterfalls increase surface exposure and this increases evaporation. Talk to your pool service company about turning these features off. It may or not be possible, depending on the configuration of your pool. Creating windbreaks around the pool also reduce evaporation rates.

 How A Professional Pool Service Can Help

Using a professional pool service such as Beachside Pool Service can also help reduce your water usage.

When the water in your pool is perfectly balance and sanitized; you won’t waste water continually backwashing the filter to remove algae buildup. You won’t waste water draining the pool to reduce chemicals levels.

Beachside Pool Service can also detect and repair leaks. If you find you need to constantly add water to your pool, you might have a leak. Leaks can occur in many spots, whether it is the pool itself or the equipment.

Keeping your pool clean reduces the load on your sand filter. This reduced load means your filter will not need to be backwashed as often. This can save water.
