subject: Why Choose Solar Pool Covers [print this page] A swimming pool can be a haven for relaxation or can serve as a workout venue. Whatever the reason for a pool's use, it is important for the pool's water to be maintained at a comfortable temperature. Many pool owners opt to use solar, gas, or electric heathers to keep their pool water warm. However, in the cooler night pool water will evaporate and this will cause a decline in water temperature. In order to maintain comfortable pool water temperatures, pool owners may want to use a solar pool cover.
How Solar Pool Covers Work -
Solar pool covers, also known as solar blankets, are a type of cover that work in two distinct ways to keep pool water warm. Firstly, these pool blankets trap heat from the sun and transmit this heat to the water in the pool. Secondly, these covers trap the heat of the warmed pool water and prevent this heat from escaping due to water evaporation in the cooler night air. Due to our warm climate and the beautiful sunny weather, Brisbane is an ideal location for the use of solar pool blankets.
The covers are easy to use as they do not have to be tied-down or anchored. They simply float freely on top of the water in the pool. Storage is convenient as these light pool covers can be folded or rolled up and moved to a storage area. Solar covers can be used on both in-ground and above ground swimming pools.
Other Benefits -
One of the best things about solar pool covers is their cost. These covers are the least expensive type of pool cover that pool owners can purchase. In addition to heating your pool, these covers will also protect the pool from debris such as leaves. Because solar pool covers use a renewable heat energy source, the sun, they not only save pool owner's money but they are environmentally friendly as well. In addition to these great benefits, solar blankets can save pool owners money as they limit the loss chemicals that occurs though evaporation. Solar blankets can easily extend one's swimming season as the warmer water is far more appealing in the cooler months of the year.
