subject: The Benefits Of A Solar Pool Cover [print this page] The solar swimming pool cover is the next best thing to a pool heater. They are also great for the environment since they save energy and heat by reducing nighttime heat loss and evaporation. Solar swimming pool covers can also be used to help your pool heater.
The best way to reduce your swimming pool costs is with the solar swimming pool cover. Solar swimming pool covers act as a vapor barrier for outdoor and indoor swimming pools and dramatically reduce heat loss by evaporation. Not having a pool cover can be compared to heating your home with your doors and windows in the wintertime. This is absolutely a ridiculous concept since basically you are losing heat and throwing your money away. If you dont cover your swimming pool with the solar swimming pool cover, basically you are losing heat and throwing your money away. Most heating systems will work the best when they are used with the solar swimming pool cover.
An outdoor swimming pool gets their heat from the sun by absorbing about 75% to 85% of solar energy that hits the surface of the swimming pool.
An indoor swimming pool isnt as susceptible to weather that an outdoor swimming pool. An indoor swimming pool will cause a lot of humidity in the surrounding air and there is the presence of evaporation.
The standard pool swimming pool cover that is available is the thermal bubble swimming pool cover. A thermal bubble swimming pool cover is very light and designed to float on the swimming pools surface. They are usually only used in the fall and spring when the temperature in the pool and the temperature of the air are greatly different. The solar swimming pool cover will raise the temperature of the swimming pool approximately 20F degrees if it is used consistently for a week. Vinyl solar swimming pool covers are also available. A vinyl swimming pool cover has a longer shelf life than a bubble cover does and is made out of a heavier material. A vinyl swimming pool cover is also available with a thick layer of insulation that you can put in between the outer layers of the vinyl.
The solar swimming pool cover will provide a considerable amount of energy savings by reducing the amount of time that is spent cleaning debris and dirt from the swimming pool, reducing the amount of chemicals that are consumed, and by helping to conserve water reduction.
