Swimming Pool Solar Covers
Anyone who has a swimming pool knows that it can cost a great deal of money to keep that pool heated, especially during extremely cold winter months. Heat is lost in a number of different ways, ranging from evaporation, air temperature, and humidity. While not all of these problems can be corrected, evaporation can be reduced with the use of a swimming pool solar cover.
Swimming pool solar covers can actually work to heat the water while in use, only by using energy from the sun. They can also keep the water inside the pool warm when the heater is in use, rather than letting the heat escape at the surface of the water when it is exposed.
Swimming pool solar covers come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, and don’t require any additional installation or wiring. They work with UV inhibitors which actually draw in sunlight, which in return give the energy from the sun to the water inside the swimming pool. They are sometimes referred to as bubble covers, since they look similar to bubble packing wrap but consist of a higher grade of plastic and also have UV panels installed.
Having a swimming pool solar cover is a great way to save money on electricity, since the need to use a pool heater will be decreased when using a cover. Not only will it keep the existing heat inside the pool generated from the heater, but additional heat from the sun will keep the pool warm even when the heater is not in use. Having a cover can also prevent one from having to use a filter or cleaning service, since it will protect the pool from unwanted debris such as bugs, leaves, and even dirt. Additional money can be saved on a water bill as well, since a swimming pool solar cover prevents evaporation from occurring, so the need to refill the pool will no longer be as necessary.
Typical swimming pool solar covers come in one of three sizes, based on the thickness of the cover rather than the length of it. The economy sizes are approximately 8 millimeters thick, and are ideal for pools located in weather that is not very extreme. The middle class, known as the deluxe, range around 10 to 12 millimeters, and work great for climates that experience some cold months. The premium covers, which are typically 15 or more millimeters thick, work best when used in climates that experience extremely cold temperatures for several months a year.
Having a swimming pool solar cover is a great idea, especially for those who like to keep their pool warm all year long. It can save electricity, water, and money, making it much easier to enjoy the many benefits pools have to offer. They are easy to install, simple to use, and can pay for themselves in only a short period of time.
