Rates of evaporation from swimming pools in active use.

Author(s) : SMITH C. C., LÖF G. O. G., JONES R. W.

Summary

The rates of water evaporation from indoor and outdoor swimming pools in active use have been measured and compared with evaporation rates from unoccupied pools and with calculated values by an empirical equation. In undisturbed pools, evaporation rates were measured and found to be 74% of the rates obtained by use of the equation. Rates of evaporation from pools in active use increase with the number of swimmers. Measurements of evaporation from a pool in use by 15 to 20 swimmers per 1,000 ft2 were found to average 26% higher than the rate calculated.
