Thought i would start a new thread here, as most regarding Coverfree were pretty dated. Here in Ventura County CA we have new water restrictions that require covering your pool when not in use to prevent evaporation. This is not an option for me, so i bought the COVERFREE, going to see if it makes a difference. I have my Pool filler going for 4 min a day, and that seems to be keeping my pool topped off well. Hard to know how many gallons that is per day, but I figure if i control the time, that will tell me something. No accounting for variables regarding heat and evaporation, but its been pretty consistently in the 80’s recently here. I used 4 oz of the coverfree as directed. I reset my pool filler to 3 min per day, and will watch the water level now this week to see if I can reduce more for next week, or if it makes a difference at all. This year has been unusually windy in CA, and I know this disturbs the COVERFREE layer, but maybe it will help during calm times and when we are not using the pool? Just posting to see if anyone else in CA is trying this, and if you have any tips or results to share. Happy summer!
