How Solar Covers Save You Money While Maximizing The Use of Your Swimming Pool

When you’re getting ready for an impromptu pool party the last thing you want to worry about is balancing your chemicals or unexpected energy costs. That’s why a solar cover from Pool Supplies Canada is a perfect decision for your swimming pool and your wallet.

How Solar Covers Help You Save

Solar covers are famously great for savings. We’ll break down the key ways that these clever covers will reduce the resources it takes for you to enjoy your swimming pool.

Solar Covers Save on Heating Costs

Solar covers are designed to maintain your pool temperature using the power of the sun. This means they use renewable energy that’s free! When used properly, they can retain up to an extra 10 degrees of warmth. They work by using bubbles made of sophisticated, durable materials to trap heat and keep it in your pool.

So, there’s no need to worry about running your propane or electric heater and racking up energy costs! With three primary styles of solar covers available at Pool Supplies Canada, there’s an option for everyone. All you need to do is set it and forget it, your pool will be splash-ready when you are.

Solar Covers Reduce Evaporation and Chemical Use

Normal seasonal weather can cause your swimming pool to lose about two inches of water per week. Solar covers are a physical barrier between the sun and your swimming pool. That barrier can reduce the effects of evaporation on your swimming pool and maintain proper water levels. Some solar covers can reduce evaporation by as much as 95%!

One other key benefit of reduced evaporation is maintaining your water chemistry. Under the sun, you aren’t just losing inches of water - your pool chemicals will also evaporate. This means more frequent chemical top-ups and more money spent maintaining your water chemistry. Plus, combining water loss with incorrect chemical levels can cause expensive hiccups to fix down the road.

These two factors together are a huge benefit of using a solar cover. When you fill your pool and create that perfect water balance, you can have confidence that it will stay crystal clear and safe for swimmers for longer.

Solar Covers Save You Time by Keeping Water Clean

Like all reliable pool covers, solar covers keep your pool clean. While the cover is on and using the sun to trap heat, it’s also blocking your pool from debris. Critters, bugs, pollen, leaves and more are going to be stopped before they can enter the water.

Less mess is less stress. You won’t need to worry about cleaning your swimming pool as often with major debris blocked. Instead, you can use the time you would normally skim the top of the water with a mesh leaf net to actually jump in.

What Solar Covers Give You

While we love all kinds of savings, solar covers also give you new ways to use and enjoy your pool! One of the new benefits is the extra time you’ll get to swim.

Solar Covers Give You a Longer Pool Season

Properly using a solar cover all Summer can extend your pool season by keeping a perfect temperature for swimming longer. You could get as much as two extra weeks in Spring and Fall. That’s a whole extra month of swimming! You can continue to enjoy your swimming pool, exercise, laugh and relax while your neighbours are busy packing up at the end of Summer.

Solar Covers Give You Back Your Spontaneity

If the sun is out, your solar cover is hard at work keeping your pool heated. With clear weather and proper usage, you can be confident that your pool is going to be reliably heated. This means you can swim on a whim like you actually want to!

There’s no need to worry about turning on a heater in advance and waiting for it to start working, and there’s no need to do the math on whether the heating costs are worth it or not. If your family wants to jump in the water, they simply need to remove the cover and jump in!
