Why use a Pool Cover?

....because it will keep the pool warm enough to swim for 3 months longer every year!

Why Use A Pool CoverIt works like this; - all the time that the sun is shining on your pool, or the air temperature is higher than the water temperature, the pool-water is gaining heat.

However, evaporation from the pool surface takes place 24 hours a day. It takes one BTU to heat a pound of water 1 degree Fahrenheit, but 1048 BTUs to evaporate one pound of water. All of that heat comes from the pool-water, thus delaying the rate at which it warms during the Springtime and cooling it faster during the Autumn.

Up to 90% of heat lost from a swimming pool is due to evaporation of the pool-water. The remaining heat losses can be accounted for by conduction through the sides and bottom of the pool and heat lost when a backwash is carried out (and you top-up the pool with cold water from the mains or well).

Cut the evaporation to next-to-nothing and cut heat-losses to next-to-nothing - it's that simple!

When you have paid good money to heat a pool it makes good economic sense fit a pool cover to conserve the heat. Yet, if a pool is unheated it still makes good sense to fit a pool cover because the water will warm earlier in the year and remain warm longer into the autumn. A pool cover will give the pool-owner a longer swimming season.

• Reduces heat loss & water-loss by 90% or more, allowing you to swim earlier in the Spring and later into the Autumn.
• Reduces the amount of dirt, dust and debris that enters your pool, saving you time on cleaning and maintenance.
• Minimises the amount of chemicals required to sanitise the pool, thereby giving further savings.
