Solar Pool Covers And Their Cost-Efficiency
More and more pool owners are choosing to make the best investment yet for their pools: solar pool covers. Heating pools with these solar covers are advantageous to an owner for a number of reasons. Though they’re perfect for any pool, they’re an absolute must-have for consumers who are heating their pools with gas heaters or heat pumps. This is the best way to enjoy high-class luxury at a fraction of the price.
Thousands of airtight bubbles in these covers capture the sun’s energy and warmth. Lying on top of the water, this energy is transferred to the pool water below. Meanwhile, any heat that was already present in the pool water is trapped, and therefore the temperature of the water is at its maximum potential. This is an incredible benefit especially for users with gas heaters because the heaters will have to work half as hard – heating costs can be cut in half or even more.
While doing all of this, the covers continue to work by sealing the water underneath. When not in use, water cannot be readily evaporated into the air. As a result, pool owners have to add water to their pools far less often. Additionally, fewer chemicals are also used. The cost of owning a pool becomes overall cheaper.
These covers come in standard, clear, and extra heavy. With proper care, each type of cover will last several years. The owner must simply be sure to remove the cover during heavy chlorination and keep in the shade when not in use. They can also be protected by using a reel. Overall, the extra-heavy type of cover is the thickest and will last the longest.
All the money-saving benefits of these covers leave a pool-owner with no excuse not to indulge. Solar pool covers can prevent 90% of heat evaporation in some cases and will greatly reduce the necessary amount of water and chemicals as well. These covers have far more advantages than the standard.
