Transparent/black, Blue/black and black/black solar pool cover is the most effective in absorbing solar energy in all colors.
As an opaque mask, it prevents the algae’s photosynthesis very thoroughly, and reduces use algaecide. More and more pool owner chooses to use them.
This color is not suitable for use in the area of strong sunlight, such as Australia, New Zealand, etc.
1、Heats your pool water with free solar energy
Sunlight is the compound light, including red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, blue and violet.
The object color depends on the color of light reflected by it. For example, the object appears red because it reflects red light, objects appear white because it does not absorb any light, and reflects the light of all colors.
Objects appear black because it doesn’t reflect any light, and fully absorb the light of all colors, so Transparent/black, blue/black and black/black solar pool cover can absorb all of the sun’s rays, to efficiently convert solar energy into heat and heat the pool water.
Transparent/black solar pool cover is the most effective structure in the absorption of solar energy. It floats on the surface of pool water. Transparent surface is up, black surface is down, and contact with pool water. All the sun’s rays pass through transparent surface, and are absorbed completely by black surface. Hot black surface heats the water on the surface of swimming pool. Pump drives constantly the water cycle between the surface and bottom of swimming pool, and makes the solar energy to transmit to the whole water in swimming pool.
Because of aesthetic, pool owners tend to choose blue/black solar pool cover.
This black color is not suitable for use in the area of strong sunlight, such as Australia, New Zealand, etc. Because, 26 degrees pool water feels most comfortable. Solar energy that is absorbed too much will make the water temperature more than 26 degrees. As with unpleasant cold water, high temperature water is uncomfortable.
Silver solar pool cover can reflect most sunlight, refused to excess heat, is the most suitable choice in strong sunlight area.
2、Extend your pool season by retaining heat when air is 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, and give 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, and avoid the water temperature to rise. No one likes swimming in 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.
Black solar pool covers are like a piece of opaque visor,blocking all of the Sun’s rays, preventing the algae’s photosynthesis, thus reducing 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、Keeps 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.
