In the first scenario, if you don’t use a solar pool heater, during the day heat is absorbed by the pool water through Sun’s rays and so the water gets naturally heated. In the second scenario, you use a solar pool heater to heat up the water. Now without a pool cover put up, during the night, the sky takes up the heat from your pool and consequently water loses its warmth. Whether you use a solar pool heater or not (water gets naturally heated by the Sun’s rays) for heating your pool water, a pool cover will help to retain the water temperature during the night so that you don’t have to swim in freezing cold water in the morning.
Investing in a pool cover makes sense as it helps to retain the water temperature, and protect the water from evaporation and dirt. Listed here below are the advantages of investing in a pool cover.
Protects Water Loss and Aids in Preserving Water Temperature
Water is exposed to air as pools have a wide surface area to depth ratio. Your pool’s water level and temperature can be largely affected due to evaporation. During the night, heat is absorbed by the sky in the process of evaporation and this causes heat loss in your pool’s water. A pool cover can preserve the water temperature for which you have already paid and improve the efficiency of your solar pool heating system as well as avoid water loss.
Lesser Use of Chemical
You can save around fifty percent on your chemical usage as a pool cover will help you to keep your pool water clean and fresh. Along with it, you can also save money on the use of your filter. At a minimal cost, pool covers provide the best insulation as they are formed in such a way. Pool cover shields around ninety percent of heat loss in your swimming pool. Thus, it aids to keep your pool comfortable and it also pulls down the requirement and cost of pool heating.
How to Determine the Size of a Pool Cover that you need for Your Pool?
Whatever the shape of your pool, you need to consider measuring the full length and full width of your swimming pool because pool covers are available in rectangular pieces only. You just need half an hour and a pair of scissors to install the pool cover.
Undoubtedly, a pool cover is a cost-effective solution to boost the efficiency of your solar pool heating system. The savings that you gain on your chemical usage and the water temperature (heat) that is protected by the pool cover might pay up the cost of a pool cover in less than a year. A pool cover is a wise investment and anybody who uses a pool heating system must take benefit of a pool cover to increase the efficiency of their pool heater.
