Summer is heating up which means more time using the pool. With all of that water, it’s important to be using it as efficiently as possible. Here are some simple tips to help maintain an efficient pool while also saving water and money:
- Don’t overfill the pool. Lower water levels will help reduce losing water that splashes out
- For pools with automatic refilling devices, check the pool for leaks periodically as it can be hard to tell if you’re losing water when it’s automatically being filled
- Minimize the use of waterfalls in your pool as the aeration can increase evaporation
- Use a pool cover to help reduce evaporation when the pool is not in use
Elsinore Valley Municipal Water District wants to help customers save water with their pool by offering up to $50 for the purchase and installation of one new pool cover that helps decrease evaporation. The Pool Cover Rebate Program will be offered until June 30, 2020 so EVMWD encourages customers to apply before it’s too late. Funding is available on a first-come-first-serve basis.
