A Daisy Pool Blanket provides a physical barrier to evaporation.
It covers the pool surface like putting a lid on a jar.
It can’t be totally watertight like a jar lid, but a properly fitted pool blanket is so effective that it stops 97% of evaporation.
All across Australia, water is a precious, scarce and costly commodity.A Daisy Pool Blanket can almost completely stop water loss through evaporation - but just how much water are we really talking about?
How much water does your pool hold?
Most people are surprised by what seem like enormous quantities of water that an average pool can lose through evaporation.
The main reason they are so surprised - and sometimes question the quantity evaporating - is that they don’t usually have much idea how much water their pool holds in the first place.
To put things into perspective, here are some of the sizes and capacities of pools that you would typically find in across Europe
Pool water capacity
Pool Length Pool Width Average Depth Water Capacity
8.0 metres 4.0 metres 1.3 metres 41,600 litres
9.2 metres 4.5 metres 1.3 metres 53,820 litres
10.0 metres 5.0 metres 1.3 metres 65,000 litres
Example evaporation throughout the summer for an uncovered pool
Pool Surface Total Average
Size Area Evaporation Evaporation
9.2mx4.5m 41.4m2 48,475 litres 8,079 litres
Perhaps measure your own pool roughly and do the sum.
According to the Swimming Pool and Spa Association NSW,
Australian domestic swimming pools generally hold between 22,000 and 60,000 litres of water, with the average being
between 40,000 and 50,000 litres.
How much are you really topping up your pool?
Here’s some more information that might also come as a surprise.
Do you know how much water flows from your garden hose per minute?
Of course it will vary with local water pressure, it can be around 17 litres a minute or more.
So, how often do you top up your pool in summer?
As an example, 10 minutes a day, every second day would use: 17 litres x 10 minutes x 15 days = 2,550 litres a month.
This is a very conservative estimate. In the middle of summer it is quite common that it would be more like:
17 litres x 30 minutes x 30 days = 15,300 litres a month.
Makes you think, doesn’t it.
Evaporation from swimming pools
The main factors that affect evaporation rates from domestic outdoor pools are:
1. Pool surface area
2. The temperature of the water and air
3. Humidity
4. Wind
1. The bigger the pool, the more surface area, therefore, a greater evaporation volume.
2. The highest evaporation rates occur when the differences between water and air temperatures are the greatest. This may not be in the middle of a hot day when the pool is in use. At this point the water and air temperatures may be quite close. Later at night the pool water may remain warm, but the air temperature has fallen substantially - that means a greater temperature difference between the air and water - and greater evaporation.
3. The drier the air is, the greater the evaporation rate. In very humid conditions less evaporation occurs.
4. The final and very significant factor for home pools is wind.A breeze of just a gentle 11 kilometres per hour can more than double the evaporation rate by removing the insulating layer of warm, moist air directly above the pool surface.
How to measure your pool for a Daisy Pool Blanket
1. Measuring your pool is simply a matter of measuring the maximum water level width and length of the main body of water.
.
This will give you Width: A and Length: B for the main body of your pool.
2. If you have any steps, then measure the step area separately as set out below.
3 .If you have a shaped pool, treat as rectangular as per the examples below:
Daisy will include extra material to allow for an upturn and shrinkage, so the exact water level measurements are all that are required.
