Using Solar Pool Covers to Help Save Energy
 Investing in a solar swimming pool cover can save you money. How? First, since
it helps keep pool water clean, you’ll have to buy fewer chemicals. Second, it
helps keep in the heat and will help heat the pool so you will use less energy
keeping warm which means your heating equipment won’t have to run as often. In
addition, less water will be lost to evaporation and your pool will need less
makeup water. Your cleaning and maintenance costs will go down. In short, your
solar pool cover will pay for itself fairly quickly.
According to studies, swimming pools without a pool cover can lose up to 30
percent of their heat each day and more than 10,000 liters of water, including
the chemicals used to treat the water, from the natural process of evaporation.
And that's not using a solar swimming pool cover!
Solar pool covers cut cleaning time and reduce the amount you spend on
swimming pool cleaning supplies and maintenance of equipment. Pool covers keep
leaves, dirt, and debris out of your swimming pool water, leaving it crystal
clear for a long time. During the winter, a pool cover can protect your swimming
pool from harsh weather conditions. Your pool equipment will last longer if you
use a pool cover. With the heat kept in the pool water and the dirt kept out,
your pool equipment will last longer because it will have to work less.
