A swimming pool consumes a lot of energy and adds to your utility bills and using a pool cover can help save you money and energy. Water is lost from your pool in many ways, but the largest loss is through evaporation; a cover slows evaporation. If you heat your pool water and don’t use a pool cover you lose both heat and water.
