Why Pool Covers Are a Total Game-Changer
Pool covers are a smart upgrade—they keep your pool cleaner, warmer, and safer while saving water, energy, and time on maintenance. We can give you 6 reasons why you should seriously consider adding a pool cover to your pool today!
1. Energy and Heating Cost Savings
Pool covers act as an insulating barrier that traps heat in the water and drastically reduces heat loss caused by evaporation. This means your pool heater doesn’t have to work as hard, cutting heating costs by 50-70%. This is a huge advantage for customers who want to extend their swimming season without incurring high energy bills.
2. Significant Water Conservation
Pools lose a tremendous amount of water through evaporation, especially in hot climates. A pool cover can reduce evaporation by up to 95-97%, saving tens of thousands of litres of water annually. For example, an average heated pool can lose around 45,000 litres per year without a cover. Using a cover means less frequent refilling, lower water bills and a reduced environmental impact.
3. Reduced Chemical Usage
Exposure to sunlight breaks down chlorine and other pool chemicals, requiring frequent rebalancing and additional chemical purchases. Pool covers reduce the amount of UV light reaching the water, preserving chlorine effectiveness and cutting chemical use by 35-60%. This not only saves money but also makes pool maintenance easier and healthier for swimmers.
4. Keeps Your Pool Cleaner
A cover prevents leaves, dirt, insects, and other debris from contaminating your pool water. This reduces cleaning time and effort, protects filtration systems from excess strain, and keeps the pool visually appealing and ready to use. Less debris also means fewer chemical imbalances and a more pleasant swimming experience.
6. Environmental Sustainability
By conserving water, reducing chemical use, and lowering energy consumption, pool covers contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle. This appeals to environmentally conscious customers and aligns with growing trends toward eco-friendly home management.
