How much water evaporates from that swimming pool everyday? You don't wanna know this!
Like all our informative posts, we will jump start by giving you some hard facts about water evaporation from swimming pools in your neighbourhood. The next time you are splashing around in that Olympic sized pool that came attached with your apartment, please remember this;
Water evaporation rate for Olympic Sized Pools:
Dimensions = 50m x 25m
Total Surface Area = 1250 Sq M
Water evaporation per hour = 440 litres (Approximately)
Water evaporation per day = 10,560 litres!
Perspective:
Your average 10 minute shower every morning takes up 200 litres of water. (Yes!)
That water loss in the pool is equivalent to 53 showers with the water turned on at full lick!
Also;
On an average, you drink almost 3 litres of water everyday
That water loss in the pool everyday is equivalent to about 10 years of your drinking water supply!
Water evaporation rate for Small Pools:
Dimensions = 20m x 10m
Total Surface Area = 200 Sq M
Water evaporation per hour = 70 litres (Approximately)
Water evaporation per day = 1,680 litres!

We unearth this cool water evaporation rate calculator! |
The evaporation rate of water from surfaces depends on relative humidity (50% is standard), water temperature (25 degrees celsius is the norm), the size of the pool and the velocity of the air on the water surface (5 m/s standard).
All this via this water evaporation rate calculator @ Engineering Toolbox.
Now even with the smallest pools around, you and your housing society are collectively losing about 2000 litres of water everyday! And yeah, the more you and your kids splash around, the faster it vanishes.
Now that is what you truly call, turning your money into thin air. Or better still, giving one Mr. Sorcar a big run for his money!
Gulp!
This is a nice content.I like this one.This is an amazing.The written skill is so good.I am very impressed to this content.

dehumidification system should be carefully designed to make sure that air is not forced across the pool surface, which can speed up evaporation. Rather, air should be evenly distributed over the outside walls to prevent condensation. www.atlantispools.co/designgallery/index.cfm swimming pool builders.
