Saving water in your swimming pool is not only beneficial for your budget, but also for the environment and our planet. In this article, we will share tips for reducing your pool's water consumption, while maintaining water quality and preserving your equipment.
1. Use a pool cover
Using a pool cover is one of the most effective ways to save water.
By preventing excessive evaporation, a floating cover (such as a bubble cover) or a rigid cover (roller shutter) helps maintain water temperature and also limits water evaporation, which can be up to 2 cm per day during peak season.
This will reduce the need to compensate for water loss while saving on heating costs. Indeed, a bubble cover can help you gain 2 to 5 degrees.
2. Manage filtration duration and choose a variable speed pump
Adjust filtration duration according to the seasons. During the summer, frequent filtration is necessary to maintain water clarity. However, reduce this duration in autumn and spring to save electricity and water, while extending the life of your filtration system.
If you opt for a variable speed filtration pump, you can save energy by adjusting the speed according to the water temperature and your pool's usage.
3. Monitor the water level
Maintain your pool's water level at the optimal level. Too much water can cause overflows and unnecessary losses, while too low a level can damage your pump.
There are various level regulators that allow you to maintain an ideal level automatically. Here is our selection of level regulators to save your pool's water:
If you notice a significant drop in the water level, it is important to quickly check your installation to ensure there is no water leak.
4. Opt for energy-efficient and smart equipment
When purchasing your pool equipment, choose energy-efficient models. Modern pumps and filtration systems are designed to reduce water consumption while maintaining water quality.

5. Recycle pool water
Consider installing a pool water recycling system. These systems purify and reuse pool water, thus reducing your reliance on tap water and contributing to environmental preservation.
By following these best practices, you can not only save water, but also reduce your pool maintenance costs while minimizing your environmental impact.
Every small action counts in preserving this precious resource. Incorporate these tips into your pool maintenance routine to fully enjoy the summer while contributing to a more sustainable future.
