The current drought conditions in California have not been friendly to swimming pool owners. Water restrictions have naturally restricted water usage that is not a necessity, like lawn irrigation and filling swimming pools. Some areas in California have actually banned homeowners from building swimming pools. If you already have a swimming pool, you have to be particularly careful about emptying and refilling it. If you live in California or another drought-ridden area, you need to take steps to lower your swimming pool's water usage.
