Find out how many gallons the pool cover is really saving, resident home near Sweetwater, TX.

The nightly cover habit at this home's pool is only as convincing as the number behind it, and without an actual measurement the household has no way to know whether skipping the cover on a busy night matters or not.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash. You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

photo of both marked reference points + the two deck buckets + before/after readings for the uncovered night and the covered night

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Steps

1. 1. Choose two similar warm, calm nights roughly a week apart, one with the pool left uncovered overnight and one with the cover deployed, and mark the water line on the skimmer opening or a strip of tape on the tile with a permanent marker each evening, done from the deck without touching the water.
2. 2. On the same trip, set two matched buckets of water side by side on a stable deck table or shelf well back from the coping, never at the water's edge; leave one open to the air and one loosely covered, as an evaporation reference for the night.
3. 3. The next morning, from the deck, read the drop against each mark with a tape measure or ruler held at the fixed reference point, and read the level change in both buckets.
4. 4. Record both nights' pool-level drop side by side with the bucket readings, and write the estimated evaporation-reduction percentage the cover is giving this household, feeding that number into the season's log.

What counts as done

• Written or recorded permission from the resident
• Photo of the water-line mark made on the skimmer opening or tile from the deck
• Photo of the two deck buckets placed away from the pool's edge
• Reading recorded for the uncovered night and for the covered night
• Confirmation that every reading was taken from the deck or a fixed mark, with feet on dry deck surface the whole time

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.

The standard this serves

Water Efficiency. Water efficiency is the quiet discipline of wasting nothing indoors. The EPA's WaterSense program sets the marks: how many gallons a minute a faucet should pass, how to find the leak that runs a toilet all night, how a household's water bill tells a story. Mastery looks like an auditor who can walk a home in an hour and find every hidden gallon. The skill is built one fixture at a time, which is exactly what this packet asks: measure one flow, find one leak, record one truth about where the water goes.
