To add water to your pool when the level is low, follow these simple steps:
- Turn off the pool's filtration system. This prevents water from being pulled away as you fill.
- Use a garden hose to add water. Place the hose into the pool and begin filling until the water level reaches the desired point.
Maintaining Proper Water Level in Your Pool
Keeping your pool water at the right level is crucial for its proper functioning. Here's some information to help:
Why is Pool Water Level Important?
- Skimmer Functionality: The pool skimmer is designed to work best when water is at the right height. If the water level is too low, the skimmer might not be able to pull in debris. If it's too high, the skimmer won't work as effectively.
- Equipment Protection: Maintaining proper water level is also essential for protecting the pool's pump and other equipment. Low water levels can cause the pump to work harder and potentially damage it.
How to Check Your Pool Water Level
- Regular Visual Check: Regularly take a look at your pool's water level. The water level should usually be in the middle of the skimmer opening or follow your pool's manufacturer guidelines.
What to Do if Water Level Keeps Dropping
- Check for Leaks: If you notice that your pool's water level is consistently dropping, even when it is not in use, there might be a leak.
- Examine the Pool: Carefully inspect the pool lining, and around the filtration system for any signs of leaks. If found, repair immediately to prevent further water loss and potential damage.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Turn off the filter. |
| 2 | Add water with a hose. |
| 3 | Check for leaks if levels consistently drop. |
Adding water to your pool is a straightforward process, however, keep a close watch on your pool's water level and address any issues right away.
