Why Should I Buy a Swimming Pool Cover?
Owning a pool cover can significantly reduce your energy bill, potentially decreasing energy losses by 50% to 95%. At night, an uncovered pool may waste more energy than it gains during the day. Even if you only use a pool cover overnight, you could still save up to 40% on your annual heating bill, as about 80% of heat loss occurs through evaporation. By using a swimming pool cover, you not only save money but also extend your swimming season and conserve water.
Solar covers can generate heat from the sun during the day, helping to warm your pool water and provide additional savings while being more environmentally friendly. Reducing water evaporation allows you to retain more of the chemicals in the pool, which can lower your overall chemical costs. Furthermore, a pool cover prevents debris and rain from entering the pool, which can deplete chlorine levels. Less debris means reduced chemical use, shorter cleaning times, and easier maintenance.
Swimming pool covers can also block sunlight, which is especially beneficial if you plan to leave a pool unused for a while. By excluding sunlight, you can prevent algae and other plant life from growing in the water, which keeps it from turning green. Additionally, our safety swimming pool covers are highly effective in safeguarding your family against accidents, making them essential if you have young children in your home.
Here are a Few Benefits of Having a Swimming Pool Cover:
- Reduce your energy bill
- Reduce your pool’s carbon footprint
- Reduce your chemical bill
- Reduce pool cleaning time
- Conserve water
- Help heat your pool
- Prevent algae and plant growth
Types of Swimming Pool Covers – a Brief Overview:
Solar – Solar covers insulate your pool to reduce heat loss, and also allow sunlight through – which helps to warm the pool water. On a sunny day, you could see as much as an 8°C temperature rise. Our solar pool covers are available in transparent or opaque and in different colours and styles.
GeoBubble – Functioning similar to a solar cover, GeoBubble have a superior and patented design for exceptional performance and improved resistance to wear. GeoBubble covers are available in transparent or opaque and in different colours and styles.
Insulation – These covers insulate your heated pool and prevent unnecessary heat loss. Due to the huge energy-saving nature of this insulation cover, it is particularly beneficial for large indoor pools where a lot of energy is required to heat and maintain the pool temperature.
Debris – Protect your pool from falling debris and animals. We offer two types of covers for pools, summer pool covers for the warmer season and winter pool covers for the colder season. These summer pool covers prove to be highly effective at encapsulating and protecting your pool during the summer and preventing debris from falling into the pool. We also offer a debris cover that also excludes sunlight from your swimming area, preventing the growth of algae and other plant life that would otherwise turn your water green.
Slatted – These swimming pool covers are made from PVC or Polycarbonate and are formed from a series of ‘slats’ which connect together and are wound onto an automated reel system. Useful for most kinds of pools, such as indoor, outdoor, rectangular or shaped, these slatted covers will insulate the pool water by preventing evaporation, reducing chemical loss, preventing debris, and blocking sunlight.
Safety – Safety covers are an excellent choice if you have children or animals and would like an extra level of protection against water accidents. They can hold a great deal of weight, so should anyone fall onto the safety cover they will remain safe.
Hard Top Spa Covers – These covers are specifically designed for outdoor use with heated spas. They can insulate and protect your spa from the elements.
