Having a Pool Cover

No one wants to rack up additional expenses if there aren’t good reasons to have them. Having a swimming pool might be an expenditure but there are ways to make it less expensive and a pool cover is one of the ways to help reduce costs.

#1 – Lower the cost of heating and extend your pool season with a pool cover. Your pool cover traps the heat of the water which cuts down on energy usage from warming your pool. By having a pool cover you are going to keep from losing heat in the pool as well as stopping unnecessary evaporation so you can save energy and still enjoy a warm pool.

#2 – A pool cover helps you conserve water. To give you an idea, a pool that is 16 x 36 foot and uncovered can lose as much as 180 gallons of water in any given week. When you stop evaporation, you will have to refill and reheat your pool less. Make sure to ask us about pool covers when you are working with us.

#3 – Reducing use of chemicals is another great benefit of having a pool cover. When water evaporates, your pool chemicals also evaporate. You may lose up to a gallon of chlorine when you have your pool uncovered and this is in two hours when you are experiencing a hot day. You can keep your pool covered which will keep your pool treated and balanced longer.

#4 – Less maintenance time and costs will make your life easier. You will reduce debris from your pool which will cut down on the maintenance that your pool’s filtration system needs.
