1/29/2020· Water evaporation rates vary based on water temperature, air temperature, wind speed, wind volatility, sun exposure, and humidity levels. The average pool water evaporation rate is about a quarter of an inch of water per day or more than two inches in a week, which on a 33′ x 18′ swimming pool (an average pool size) is more than 2500 liters or approximately 600 gallons a week; this may ...

1. Evaporation of pool water. 2. Outdoor make-up air. 3. People. The vapor pressure differences between pool water and air cause continuous evaporation, producing high humidity conditions in the pool room. The evaporation rate is a function of the activity of the pool. If water is calm, there is a known evaporation

The dry, cool, windy weather will see increased evaporation; the drier the air is, the greater the evaporation rate. In humid conditions less evaporation occurs. On average, swimming pools lose about 6mm of water each day. During the cooler months, when the pool is not being used as much, pool blankets are a great option.
