The average pool loses one-eighth of an inch of water every day. However, how much your pool will lose depends on various factors, such as water temperature, climate, and weather. Warm water will evaporate more quickly than cold water, and pools in low-humidity climates will experience faster evaporation. However, this doesn’t mean you’ll need to constantly refill your pool.

Installing a pool chiller can give you more control over the temperature of your pool, especially if you live in a climate with hot summers.

Regular maintenance is essential for keeping your pool clean and clear.
