Pool cover buying guide
Features and benefits
Pool covers use light, particularly sunlight, to heat the water in your pool. Outdoor, in-ground pools absorb up to 85% of direct sunlight from the surface of the water. During the day, heat retention is not a problem, however, when the pool is not in direct sunlight, it can lose a lot of its stored energy and heat.
A pool cover optimizes the absorption of solar energy significantly and conserves heat by keeping it in the water. It can raise the temperature up to 7 degrees in a week. According to the ENERGY STAR agency, covering a pool when not in use is the best way to save on heating costs.
Even a sheet of plastic can help capture direct sunlight in an outdoor pool, but solar covers have air pockets that magnify the collection before emitting it to the cooler water below. Solar covers are passive devices that capture energy when placed in direct sunlight. They then help to insulate the pool surface with air to minimize heat loss after sunset.
Instead of thinking of solar coverage as an additional cost, think of it as an investment. Its cost is recovered monetarily with all the chemicals saved and energetically keeping the heat in the water.
