During the beginning of the Spring and the end of Summer, when the temperatures get cooler, the warm pool you once had in the dead heat of summer is gone. Sometimes even on those cool summer nights you may wake up to a cold pool. And some people like a colder swimming pool to jump into but most people prefer with warmth of pool water which is why pool heaters are such a hot commodity, the pun was intended.
The one problem with pool heaters is that they are very expensive to buy and even more expensive over time to operate. You can also look into buying solar heater and heat pumps but both are expensive and costly to run. This is why getting a solar cover for your swimming pool is ideal. Because one, its cheap and most importantly it’s energy efficient.
Solar covers work in two ways. They attract sunlight to your pool because of their dark blue color and they also keep the heat in your pool. So for instance during the day when the sun is hot and beating down on your swimming pool its getting all warmed up then at night when it gets cooler you lose all that heat. So each day your pool starts over, temperature wise. A solar cover will prevent this from happening by keeping the heat your pool retains during the hot day. Also it helps attract more heat with the dark color.
Solar covers also work to save you money because if you do have a heater you can retain the heat much longer without ever having to run your heating again. It’s that simple.
