Regular Checks Check the water level regularly, especially after heavy rain or usage. The water level should be at a specific level to ensure proper circulation and filtration.

Add Water Strategically When adding water, do so gradually and strategically. This helps prevent sudden changes in water chemistry and reduces the amount of water needed to top off the pool.

Avoid Overfilling Overfilling the pool can lead to water waste and unnecessary evaporation. Ensure the water level is at the recommended mark to maximize water conservation.
