The Scoop on Automatic Pool Covers

Installing or using a pool cover is an easy and extremely effective way to maintain your swimming pool; specifically keeping it free from unwanted debris and bugs. Aside from this, a pool cover is essentially a necessary accessory for any pool because of several advantages it provides when your pool is not in regular use.

Let’s Take a Look at Some Key Benefits:

When it comes to regular maintenance for your swimming pool, a cover will definitely save you both time and money. Using a pool cover is one of the best methods in preventing your precious pool water from evaporating. Pool covers prevent water evaporation by up to 95 percent, so they are one of the best things you can do around the pool to conserve your pool water. By keeping your pool water clean, a pool cover significantly decreases the number of times your pool will need backwashing.

Keeping your pool covered also reduces the amount of chemical usage by stopping chemical evaporation into the atmosphere. Plus, a cover will also save you up to 50 percent on heating costs. This is because evaporation is the major source of heat loss for swimming pools, which occurs mainly at night when the air temperature drops below the temperature of the water in the pool. And for those of you without the luxury of pool heating, a pool cover actually helps extend your swimming season into the autumn and spring months, increasing the pool temperature by around 6 – 8˚C in pools that get the sun.

How do You Choose the Right Pool Cover?

There are several styles of pool covers on the market, such as bubble blankets, thermal blankets, leaf covers, and automatic covers. While bubble blankets are extremely common and easy to install they can wear quickly, and are not always 100% reliable in protecting your swimming pool.

These are the first real advances in solar pool cover design for years, made stronger to last longer with extended warranties to reflect this quality.
