Pools and Spas

  • The average backyard pool can lose up to 50,000 litres of water a year through evaporation. Installing a cover on pools and spas reduces this water loss.
  • Ask your local nursery for advice on plants to screen the pool or spa and further reduce water loss.
  • Install a shade cloth over the area to reduce evaporation.
  • Consider replacing a sand filter with a cartridge filter, which requires less backwashing.
  • Install an automatic pool cleaner to further reduce the need to backwash.
