Recommendations to optimize pool water in drought
Amid the growing concern for water scarcity, the responsible use of this precious resource is more crucial than ever. Drought is an environmental challenge that affects communities around the world, forcing us to rethink our consumption habits, also affecting the Maintenance of our pools.
It is imperative to understand that, although water is a fundamental component for leisure and recreation, it is also a limited and vulnerable resource. Therefore, in times of drought, we must adopt practices that minimize our impact In the water supply.
¿How can we do this? Remember that facing drought is not just about deprivations and restrictions, but about adopting a more conscious and sustainable approach towards the use of water in all areas of our lives, including routine maintenance of the pool.
Next, we present a series of practices that will help you take care of each drop.
Detect leaks in the pool
First, water conservation begins with the prevention of unnecessary losses. It is essential to ensure that our pools are well maintained, No leaks or leaks that waste water inadvertently. Performing regular inspections and timely repairs will be key to avoid waste.
Pool cover
By keeping the pool covered when it is not in use, evaporation is significantly reduced. By decreasing evaporation, the need to fill the pool is reduced so frequently. In addition, you will benefit from other advantages of having Pool cover, how to keep it clean for a longer time.
Efficient Pool Water Filtration System
A Pool filtration system efficient is essential not only to keep the Clean and crystalline water, but also to efficiently face drought challenges.
By eliminating impurities and maintaining adequate chemical balance, the Pool filter It helps maximize water life by reducing the need to drain and fill the pool with clean water.
In addition, by improving water quality, the amount of Chemicals necessary for your treatment.
Pool filter maintenance
Proper maintenance of the pool filter and its corresponding filter half It plays a fundamental role in water management always, not only during periods of drought.
A clean and good condition guarantees efficient elimination of impurities and water waste, thus reducing the need to make frequent changes of it. By minimizing the amount of water that is wasted in the cleaning and replacement process, filter maintenance contributes directly to water saving.
Alternatives to reuse pool water in the garden
- Pool: Before doing so, make sure the water is free of chlorine and other chemicals. To do this, let it spend a month since you used chemicals for the maintenance of the pool and let the sun act on the water to evaporate. However, before watering with it, it verifies that the pH levels are neutral and that the chlorine does not exceed 0.3 mg per liter of water to avoid damaging plants.
- Pool water for cleaning of the patio, the garden or exterior surfaces.
- A third option is to use pool water to Recharge the tank of the toilet.
Fill pools with seawater? The news of which everyone speaks
The option to use seawater to fill pools It arises as a possible response to the legal restrictions imposed during periods of water shortage in Andalusia and especially in Catalonia.
Although this alternative may seem innovative, the reality is that it is not. In Spain, pools with seawater have existed for decades, mainly in coastal areas. These are located near the sea and facilitate the spill of seawater without risk of environmental pollution or impact on the sewerage system. However, it is important to highlight that filling a pool with seawater requires legal and technical considerations Specific.
Legally, according to Catalan law, a pool full with sea water cannot be connected to the sewer. In addition, technically, the pool must be designed to support high salinity and corrosive power of seawater, which implies adequate planning by the builder or the pool maintainer.
While filling a pool with seawater can be a viable solution in certain circumstances, it is essential to carefully evaluate both legal and technical aspects before proceeding, thus guaranteeing the safe and efficient functioning of the pool.
