According to mathematical calculations, about 70% heat energy is wasted in a solar pool because this energy is used to evaporate water and change it to water vapour.  The water which evaporates uses a lot of energy.  A heating pool is remarkably energy efficient, only requiring 1 BTU of energy per 1 LB of water, which is not much at all.  But at 80 degrees Farenheit, each lb. evaporates removes over 1000 btus of heat from your pool.   The temperature of the pool is lowered a great extent due to the evaporation of water. 1800Pools

Have you ever wondered what causes evaporation of your pool water?

{1 The temperature of the pool water itself.}

{2 Air temperature.}

3) Humidity Level

4 Wind speed, higher wind speeds plus higher water temperature equals faster evaporation.

Tips to decrease evaporation of water from your pool.

If you live in a windy location, you can keep the wind away from your pool by planting trees, tall shrubs and bushes, installing or building a fence to keep the wind away from your pool.  When you do this make sure you allow the sunlight on your pool to allow natural heating of the water.  Preventing the sun from reaching your pool will decrease the temperature of the water, cause you to have to use more artificial heat from your unit, and use up MORE energy.  The whole idea we’re dealing with here is different ways of energy conservation.

Have you considered the advantages of an indoor pool?

With an indoor pool you don’t have to worry about wind or sun, a problem that you have to consider with outdoor pools.   Everyone should already know that you grow plant trees or construct fences inside.   Nevertheless, there is no change in the quantity of water lost due to evaporation.  A pool cover can fix these problems.

Why solar pool covers?

In addition to the math I gave you above, solar pool cover users experience a 30 percent to 50 percent reduction in the need to add water to their pools.

By using a solar cover can lessen chemicals that you need to put into your pool by 35 to 60 percent. And ofcourse think of the amount of time and energy you will save by not having to clean the pool if you keep it closed in the first place.  So when you’re not using your pool you’ll want it covered anyway.  If you don’t have energy, money or time to waste then covering your pool with a solar cover is really your only choice.
