Pool Cover Benefits – Safety and Savings Together

Pool cover benefits are numerous and all pool owners across the country should consider purchasing a pool cover. There are several advantages to covering your pool or hot tub. The cover can act as a horizontal safety barrier to keep children out of the pool. The pool cover can also reduce the amount of water loss from evaporation and the amount of chlorine that evaporates from your pool. A covering on your pool also can act as a solar collector in the day time and a heat insulator at night providing benefits to you twenty four hours per day.

Above ground and in ground pools can lose a great deal of water from evaporation. Larger pools can lose up to 200 gallons of water each week from evaporation, which can be prevented by using a pool cover. The pool cover prevents the evaporation of water as well as chemicals from the water saving you money in reduced chemical use, water and heating requirements. The benefit from a pool cover can also extend the life of your pool liner, protecting it from the UV rays of the sun. Another benefit of using a cover is that they will stop the UV rays from hitting your pool liner and prematurely aging your liner. This perk can save you a great deal of money in a few years.

Many pool owners heat their pools with either solar heating systems or with gas heating systems. Another benefit of covering your pool is reduced heat loss during the evening. Insulating the pool with the pool cover keeps the heat in the water and reduces the amount of heat that needs to be added back during the day.
