The cover can also reduce heating bills by preventing night heat loss and will save on chemicals too. Pool covers come in a wide range of types and costs, so consult your pool service company, builder or pool supply retail store. Caution swimmers to guard against splashing on decking and lawns. Plug the overflow line when the pool is in use. Re-evaluate the frequency of backwashing if your pool has no separation tank.
Most people backwash more frequently than necessary.
This wastes water. When cleaning around the pool use a broom, not a hose. Turn off the tile spray device on your automatic pool cleaning equipment. A good deal of that spray evaporates before it hits the tile. Scale formation on tile is reduced when the spray is turned off.
