# How to Keep Pool Water From Evaporating
Evaporation is a natural process that involves weather condition, mostly the sun, turning water into vapor. Factors such as increased wind, high temperatures and low humidity speed up the process. In average conditions, pool owners can lose up to 2 inches of water per week from the top of their pool. Pool owners have to tolerate evaporation unless they invest in solar covers, which will virtually eliminate pool evaporation.
