Pool Water Evaporation Rate

The pool water evaporation rate is the speed at which water naturally evaporates from a pool due to environmental factors.

Factors Affecting Pool Water Evaporation

  • High temperatures and direct sunlight.
  • Low humidity levels.
  • Strong winds causing increased surface exposure.

How to Reduce Pool Water Evaporation

  • Use a pool cover to minimize water loss.
  • Maintain proper water levels to ensure efficient filtration.
  • Install windbreaks such as fences or shrubs around the pool.

Related Terms

  • pH – A measure of how acidic or basic the pool water is.
  • Turnover Rate – The time required for all the water in a pool to pass through the filtration system once.
  • Calcium Hardness – The level of dissolved calcium in pool water.
