Above Ground Pool Water Evaporation Rate: Factors & Tips

The rate of evaporation of water from an above ground pool depends on several factors such as:

- Pool Size: The larger the pool, the more surface area is exposed, resulting in faster evaporation.

- Temperature: Higher temperatures increase the rate of evaporation.

- Humidity: Low humidity encourages faster evaporation.

- Wind Speed: Higher wind speeds promote faster evaporation.

- Pool Cover: Using a pool cover reduces evaporation.

Considering a moderate climate, here are the approximate evaporation rates per day for an uncovered pool:

- Small Pool: Up to 1/4 inch of water loss

- Medium Pool: Up to 1/2 inch of water loss

- Large Pool: Up to 1 inch of water loss
