Comment Retroussez une couverture solaire
While your standard swimming pool cover helps keep your pool free from debris, disallows unattended children and trespassers from entering your pool, and reduces overall maintenance and energy costs, solar swimming pool covers do all this and more. One of the biggest benefits of using a solar swimming pool cover is that it keeps water in your pool from evaporating.
This can cost you lots of money in refilling your pool and believe it or not will raise your pool chemicals bill as the loss of water upsets the chlorine balance. By using the solar pool cover you will keep the water level consistent and actually raise the temperature of the water so that you can extend your swimming season. You can start swimming earlier in the spring as well as later in the fall.
This built in heating system will save you hundreds of dollars in heating costs as the solar cells in the pool cover retain enough heat to raise the temperature up to 15 degrees. The cells make the cover look like a giant sheet of bubble wrap. All you do is pull it out over the water and let it do its job. With the cover in place the water cannot evaporate and the heat cannot escape. The sunlight is captured in the cells and keeps the water temperature nice and warm.
The downside to above ground swimming pool solar covers is storing them. Since they just float on top of the water in the pool there is not a convenient way to remove it and store it away. There are no anchors and it does not tie down at the corners or ends. For this reason many manufacturers call their covers solar blankets. If you are not experienced with removing it, your swimming pool solar cover may require another’s assistance. Once removed all you need to do is let it dry and then fold it up. Another option is swimming pool solar cover reels where you can simply wind the cover up on the reel and store it outdoors.
Keeping your pool covered has many benefits when it is not in use but with solar swimming pool covers the benefits extend to everyday use, no matter what the outdoor temperature may be.
