Yes that's what I'm afraid of ... and ping pong balls?

Ah not con the air pad rita ... but difficult to put them in place ... (unlike ping pong balls or polystyrene balls) ...
Matt not possible: it would require a perfect seal at the walls ...

To keep the water level in the siphons of the condensate waters of the cold rooms and in the thermowells for the probes, we put 5mm of synthetic oil
in fact any non-vegetable or animal oil (rot-proof) will do the trick, but the dust tends to stick to it, which is not excessively annoying

otherwise, you put a bubble cover like on the swimming pools
it floats at least
Uh, back on your tampon, it's open and the water is in contact with the air? hello algae, oxidation and germs

Impossible for the same reason as given above: sealing on the walls but also, I had forgotten: you have to pass the innumerable (one minus ten) hoses at the surface ... so a complete tarpaulin can not not even ride it!
Attention it is not a fixed idea that I have: I am inquiring without having the objective of doing it because I have not noticed a lot of evaporation since I repaired the big holes!
By cons the idea of ping pong balls (or equivalent) pleases me enough because it would isolate (a little) the water from the upper concrete slab must still be a sacred thermal bridge!

There is about 10-15 cm of air ... not seen an algae develop (without light and without a deep algae strain I can't see how it could develop) ... The water is even very clear after 20 years as shown in the photos below.
Here are the photos when we moved in (low level = evaporation because house abandoned):
On the last photo, we can see the thickness (1/2 in fact) of the concrete slab of the "cover". This slab has been mineralized from below (most likely with the same product as the walls)
On the other hand look at the irritations, one would say that there was thus already a kind of "product" (or then it is a pollution resulting from? er the grease of the plumbing fittings for example?) ... it is this observation (that I hadn't noticed when I took the pictures) that made me create this subject!
ps: jonule maloche said NO prutréscible ... you're like me you tend to read a little too fast ...
