After 3 years and many visits to the EPA and securing support from many Congressmen and Senators…the EPA collected enough data to issue a Letter of Intent to our group that they will be moving forward with discovery on our project to determine if we should get the WaterSense designation for Automatic Swimming Pool Covers we’ve so long sought.

Dear Bruce,

In September 2018, EPA issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) to develop a WaterSense^® specification for pool covers to help reduce water waste in swimming pools. When applied consistently and appropriately, pool covers can both reduce pool water evaporation and help the pool water retain heat, which together contribute to water, energy, and cost savings for pool owners. WaterSense estimates that, depending where it is located within the United States, a typical uncovered pool can lose between 12,000 and 31,000 gallons of pool water to evaporation every year. Using a pool cover can help owners reduce that waste significantly.
