    Keep Water and Heat Loss at Bay with Pool Covers

    Hot days are a pain, but they make for a great time to take a dip. A pool can beat the heat as long as the heat doesn't beat the pool first.

    Where there's water and heat, there's bound to be a drop in water levels; pools, reservoirs, you name it. Water loss from a pool depends on the pool size, humidity, temperature, and wind velocity. A 500 square-meter pool in 77-degree weather and 50 percent humidity may lose 49 ml of water a second. A minute later, it may lose as much as three liters.
