Keeping an eye on your swimming pool water level is an important task for any pool owner (not as important as swimming, of course, but still very important.) With an in-ground pool, the water level can be too high, and it can also be too low, and each can mean different things. Watters Aquatech Pools of Las Vegas, NV is the Premier Las Vegas pool builder that has built hundreds of pools in the area.

If your pool water level is too high, it can affect the ability of your skimmer to collect debris from the pool and suck it into the filtration system. Things floating on the surface may float above the skimmer opening and hit the side of the pool. It’s important to keep the swimming pool water at the proper height in order for the system to function the right way.

If the water level is too low, it can actually cause damage to the system, in addition to resulting in a dirty pool. Air getting sucked into the system due to a low pool water level can actually, in some cases, cause the system’s motor to become burned out.

More importantly, when pool water level becomes lower over time or drops more than a quarter-inch a day can be a sign of a crack. This is something that you will want to fix immediately. Even though many Las Vegas pool builders do good work, cracks can be a fact of life with swimming pools, and can be easily fixed if dealt with quickly.

Watters Aquatech Pools can help you deal with these issues and many more as a great partner for ensuring a beautiful and high-functioning family pool.
