# How to Maintain the Water Level in a Pool
Maintaining a swimming pool can be a time-consuming task. There are many considerations that must go into having a safe and clean pool. One of those considerations is maintaining the proper water level. Water is constantly moving in and out of the pool through splashing, evaporation and rain. It is necessary to keep the water at a consistent level, both for aesthetics and for proper functioning of the filter system.

1
Identify the ideal water level for your pool. Generally, the most efficient water level is one-third to halfway up the opening of the filter skimmer. If the water is too low, the filter will not work properly. If it is too high, the filter will be sluggish. You can probably estimate the proper level, but ask a pool cleaner if you need help.
