California is experiencing one of the worst droughts in recent history. This has led to mandatory water restrictions being imposed across the state. The governor hopes that these restrictions will drop water usage by 25 percent. However, this has caused major drawbacks for the pool industry.
Backyard swimming pools are part of the lifestyle of California. However, droughts have left more and more empty pools across the parched landscape.

There are also bans on draining and refilling existing pools.
