Pool Heat & Evaporation Loss

Evaporation removes both water and heat from an uncovered pool. Warm water, dry air and wind can accelerate the process, which means reducing surface exposure can help lower water and heat loss.

What helps most?

A physical pool cover provides the strongest barrier because it directly separates the water surface from the air. A liquid solar cover can be another maintenance tool for some pool owners, but it is not a physical barrier and should not be treated as equivalent to one.

Other practical steps

• Repair leaks rather than assuming all water loss is evaporation.
• Use wind protection where appropriate.
• Avoid overheating the pool unnecessarily.
• Cover the pool when practical, especially during long periods of non-use.
