It can be easy to dismiss the idea of using a swimming pool cover due to the hassle of having to cover and uncover your pool. But did you know that the benefits of using a pool cover far outweigh that minimal hassle? To put it simply, using a pool cover will help your pool stay warmer, fuller and cleaner. From diminishing water evaporation to reducing your energy bill, let’s take a closer look at the benefits of using a swimming pool cover.
Maintaining the temperature of your pool
Put simply, using a pool cover will help keep your pool warm all year round. Overnight, pool temperatures can decrease by 8-10 degrees. With a pool cover, they will only drop by 1-2 degrees. This means your heat pump doesn’t have to work as hard, therefore your energy bill is less and your pool will reach your desired temperature faster. Some pool covers also have thermal components that will actually help increase the temperature of your pool!
Conserve Water
Research tells us that when used correctly, using a pool cover will cut down evaporation by 97%! Depending on where you live, that will help you save between 50,000L – 72,000L a year. That’s enough to fill an average sized pool! A small investment of a pool cover will save you so much money in the long run on refilling you pool.
Less Chlorine Needed
Another benefit of using a swimming pool cover is that it reduces the amount of UV light hitting the pool water. Chlorine quality is reduced over time when exposed to UV light, so by using a swimming pool cover you will be able to maintain the chemical balance in your pool for longer.
Keeps the pool cleaner
Using a pool cover will lessen the amount of debris, leaves and foliage that fall into your pool. This will help keep the pool cleaner and reduce the time you spend cleaning it!
