POOL [OUTDOOR TIPS]

#118 Use a pool cover to help keep your pool clean, reduce chemical use and prevent water loss through            evaporation.
#119 Make sure your swimming pools, fountains and ponds are equipped with recirculating pumps.
#120 If you have an automatic refilling device, check your pool periodically for leaks.
#121 When back-washing your pool, consider using the water on salt-tolerant plants in the landscape.
#122 Minimize or eliminate the use of waterfalls and sprays in your pool. Aeration increases evaporation.
#123 Don't overfill the pool. Lower water levels will reduce water loss due to splashing.
#124 Keep water in the pool when playing, it will save water.
#125 Instead of building a private pool, join a community pool.
#126 Trickling or cascading fountains lose less water to evaporation than those that spray water into the        air.
#127 Use a grease pencil to conduct a bucket test to check for pool leaks. An unnatural water level drop may      indicate a leak
