Pool Covers

To keep the water levels from going down too quickly, you can get a pool cover to help you. There are a lot of different types of pool covers you can use. Some are more expensive than others as well as more effective so make sure you understand what you are getting into when you buy your pool cover. Thermal covers help your pool’s water system stay warm but they aren’t exactly what you need during the summer months. If you want to give yourself ease of use, you can get a pool cover that is mechanical so you can easily cover and uncover your pool by touching a button.

Windbreaks

Adding a windbreak is a good way to maintain pool water levels. Windbreaks might be trees, shrubs or other plants that can break up the blowing of the wind and keep it from blowing over your pool’s surface at its full force. You can also look into fencing that will help with breaking the wind and the good news is either choice is going to make your pool area look even more beautiful and they are great for the function of your pool.

Chlorine

Keep your chlorine levels at the proper level since the sun is able to break down chlorine which leads to decreased chlorine levels. The chlorine in your pool slows water evaporation so make sure to keep a check on these levels to keep your pool operating properly.
