Blue/blue solar pool cover is the most widely used. Because of its production process is simple, the production cost is lower, at the same time, the heat insulation effect is obvious. Recently, green/green is selected by many swimming pool owner.
1、Heat your pool water with free solar energy
Sunlight is the compound light, including red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet. According to the order, the frequency of light waves in turn is more and more high, the energy and heat is also more and more, its penetration is also more and more strong, but the heat absorbed by water is less and less. In the sunlight, almost all low frequency red light is absorbed by pool water, is 100 times of blue light. When Sunlight into the water, pool water choose absorb red and yellow light, diffusion and reflective green, blue and violet light.
Due to the person’s eye is not sensitive to the purple light reflected by water, the opposite is more sensitive to blue light. Therefore, the water depth of more than 1.5 meters and a white pool bottom can make the water appears blue color.
Blue/blue solar pool cover can reflect high frequency blue light that is not absorbed by water, and absorb all other light. Green pool cover also is such. So blue and green don’t obstruct and reduction of water to absorb the sun’s light energy, instead increase the absorption of sunlight energy. Blue/blue takes into consideration the use function and aesthetics, is a great choice.
A solar pool cover heats slowly, in part because of the huge amount of water, maybe 2 degrees a day depending on your location, so it is vital you leave the pool covered when not in use. However, some sources report first day temperature rises in the spring to be 10 degrees. solar pool covers added heating may increase the efficiency of your solar panels or solar pool heater.
2、Extend your pool season by retaining heat when air temperatures are cooler or preventing heat when air temperatures and strong sunlight are more powerful
The air filled bubbles of a solar pool cover not only help to diffuse light from the sun spreading it over a wider area, they provide a bit of a buffer zone between the air and the pool water, giving added insulative properties for better heat retention than a traditional cover. These bubbles are pockets of air, and they look a lot like packing bubbles but the plastic is thicker and made with an UV inhibitor to prevent it from damage by the sun.
On a hot summer day, outdoor swimming pool is as if in an oven. Tens of thousands of bubbles can form an air thermal insulation layer, can isolate air temperature outside of swimming pool, avoid the water temperature to rise. No one likes swimming in scalding hot water.
3、Reduce the amount of chemicals required by reducing exposure to air
Chlorine and chlorine-based disinfectants are used worldwide to destroy germs in swimming pools. One of the reasons for the widespread use of chlorine disinfectants is that they provide a “residual” level of protection against waterborne pathogens.
Chlorine is added to water, quickly dissolved in pool water. Chlorine that dissolve in water is free, is a very easy to volatile. Solar pool cover is placed on the surface of swimming pool, can stop the chlorine in the water to evaporate into the air on the surface of pool water.
Through study the action spectrum of plants photosynthesis, we found that the red and blue is the most effective light in algae photosynthesis. Blue solar pool cover absorbs the low frequency of red light, reflecting the high frequency of blue light. Therefore, algae photosynthesis can be blocked, the growth of algae are suppressed. As a visor, solar pool cover can reduce use algaecide.
4、Eliminate Water Evaporation
Since swimming pools have a large surface area, the sun can quickly cause gallons of water to evaporate each day. When there is a solar cover on the pool the water that would normally evaporate up into the air is trapped in the pool by the solar cover. This can effectively save hundreds of gallons of water each year from being lost into the air. This can be a significant cost savings for pool owners in addition to saving them the manual labor of adding new water to the pool.
Swimming pool loses heat in three main ways:
- Losses to the ground account for 10% of heat loss
- Radiation to the sky accounts for 20% of heat loss
- Evaporation accounts for 70% of heat loss
Since evaporation accounts for a full 70% of heat loss and pool covers minimize evaporation, covering your pool is the single most effective means of reducing pool heating costs.
5、Keep pool cleaner by keeping dirt, leaves, insects and other debris out of the pool and pool filters
Debris such a leaves, dirt, insects and bird droppings are not only unsightly and cleanly in swimming pool but also provide nutrients for algae and bacteria to feed on. When swimming pool is covered these contaminants will be kept out of pool water, greatly improving the quality and appearance of the water.
6、Save Money
A solar pool cover will save money by reducing water, energy, cleaning and chemical costs. Solar pool cover will pay for itself in less than a year, will save any pool owner hundreds of dollars in the long run.
7、Availability and Ease of Use AS A-B-C
Solar pool covers are very easy to use and come in many different types. Most people like the basic type which is flexible and easy to put on and take off of swimming pool. These solar covers are very effective and durable so they will last for years. Taking them off and putting them on is as simple as pulling them out of the water while folding them up, or dragging them back onto the pool. Typically one person can do it by his or herself.
Solar pool cover is made to cover the entire pool, and is then cut to size to fit the shape of swimming pool with a pair of scissors so that the sides of solar cover are flush with the sides of swimming pool.
Please note that the solar pool cover is not a safety cover.
