Save water by covering your pool
Covering a swimming pool is an excellent way of limiting water evaporation, chemical consumption and dirt in the pool. Evaporation can lead to significant water loss, requiring frequent refilling of the pool. Evaporation can also lead to heat loss, making pool heating less efficient. Here are some pool cover options you can consider:
- Bubble tarpaulin: A bubble tarpaulin is a floating cover made of air-bubble polyethylene. It acts as an insulating barrier that reduces water evaporation and also limits heat loss. It’s easy to install and relatively affordable.
- Hard cover: A hard cover is generally made of polycarbonate or PVC. It offers better thermal insulation and greater weather resistance than bubble wrap. However, it can be more expensive and often requires a system of rails or rollers for ease of use.
- Automatic pool cover: secures the pool in the event of a fall and provides highly efficient, economical water heating with solar plycarbonate.
4. Pool enclosure: A pool enclosure is a permanent structure that completely covers the pool. It provides protection from the elements, reduces water evaporation and extends the bathing season. Pool enclosures can be made of glass, polycarbonate or similar materials. They also offer protection against leaves, debris and insects.
When choosing a cover for your pool, it’s important to consider your specific needs, your budget and the climatic conditions in your area. And be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installation and maintenance to maximize efficiency and extend the life of your cover.
