The water level of your pool drops? It may be simply evaporation. A normal phenomenon … up to a certain point. How much water really evaporates? How to measure it, and above all, limit it? We tell you everything.
Do not panic, it is often evaporation. Under the effect of heat, wind or a temperature deviation between air and water, your pool can lose up to one centimeter per day. And the more we move, the more it evaporates: dives, games, splashes still accentuate the phenomenon.
If you do not want to get into complicated calculations, you can easily estimate how much‘Water evaporates every day in your pool. To do this, simply Draw a felt line on the water line and come back 24 hours later to note where the new line D is located‘water. The difference between the two levels will tell you what is the Quantity of daily evaporation from your pool.
As a reminder, the level‘your pool water must ideally be located half of the skimmersthese rectangular parts sealed with the walls of the basin, used to skim the impurities of the water. A line of water below the mouth of the skimmers can cause a defect in the basin skimmingA Deforming of filtrationand cause damage to your pool equipment.
The easiest way to limit the evaporation of the‘water from a swimming pool is to cover it by means of a Bâche. Less exposed to natural elements and temperature variationswater will better keep its heat and will be less likely to evaporate.
If necessary, equip yourself with a Level D regulator‘water. With a float tap connected to a water supply, this device is adjusted to cause the basin filling as soon as the water level of the pool decreases, and the stops once the desired level is obtained. The water level regulator therefore allows compensate for the evaporation phenomenon and always keep the same volume D‘water in the pool.
Evaporation or leakage of the swimming pool?
If you notice a significant drop in the level of the‘water From your pool, evaporation n‘is perhaps not the only origin of the problem. The drop in the level of the‘water can thus be due to a leak or to a defaulttangle of your pool. Remember in particular of checking your linerlayer D‘PVC plastic waterproofing to seal a swimming pool: this may have cracks Or micro-tear caused by wear over the seasons or the introduction ofsharp objects (pebbles, small gravel …) in the basin, damaging the coating and causing a liner cut. Your filtration equipment can also be damaged and allow to escape from the‘water.
