Heating your pool is easy and cheap with solar pool covers. Find out how to purchase and use one on your pool all season to keep your swimming pool at the perfect temperature with or without a gas heater.
What are Solar Covers for pools?
Solar covers are also know as solar blankets or summer covers. During the year swimming pools are left exposed to nature’s elements and it’s temperature changes. Solar covers are lightweight covers that you can place over your swimming pool to keep your pool’s temperature warm. A bonus feature for solar covers is that they will help keep out unwanted debris that may fall in your pool during the day. But the main purpose is to keep your pool warm and help it to get there.
How Do Solar Blankets work?
Contrary to popular belief a solar cover does not heat your pool. It does however help attract sunlight due to their dark color but what they really do is stop heat loss from water evaporation. During the day the sun is hot and the air is warm and this contributes to your pool getting warmer, unfortunately at night (when it gets cooler) all that heat that your pool gained during the day is lost. A solar cover stops that heat from escaping your pool at night or on cold rainy days.
The Benefits of A Solar Swimming Pool Cover
Well as we talked about the best thing about a solar pool cover is the fact that it helps to keep heat in your pool. Some other benefits are the price. Solar covers are a very inexpensive way to control the temperature in your swimming pool. Another benefit is they are light and easy to take on and off your pool. If you pool is big you may want to invest in a swimming pool cover reel to make this process even easier.
Quick Tip: Even if you have a gas, electric or solar heater attached to your pool, using a solar pool cover is a great way to keep your utility cost down because it will allow you to maintain the heat you initially pump into your pool for a long time.
