Pool Water Evaporation Basics
Ameri-Brand pool covers & domes
The average swimming pool can lose about a quarter inch of water nearly every day. Two main factors drive that loss:
- Evaporation: Water molecules continuously escape from the surface and turn into vapor. Air movement (wind and breeze) speeds up this process and causes more water loss.
- Temperature: Warmer water evaporates more readily than colder water.
Covering your pool saves water and money. With ongoing droughts and warming trends, water is becoming more valuable in many areas. By covering your pool, you conserve water and reduce the cost of refilling.
Ameri-Brand swimming pool domes and pool covers help you conserve water while also saving you on operating costs.
