Pool covers

16/04/2025

A pool cover is one of the simplest ways to protect your pool and your investment. It drastically reduces evaporation, helping you save water and maintain balanced chemicals. By minimising heat loss, it keeps your pool warmer for longer—saving energy and lowering heating costs. It also adds a layer of safety, especially for households with children or pets. And by keeping out leaves and debris, it reduces cleaning time so you can enjoy your pool more and maintain it less.

Protect your pool, save resources, and swim smarter—with a quality pool cover.

Reduce evaporation of pool water

Ever wondered why you are constantly topping up your pool water? According to studies carried out, over 70% of pool water lost is due to evaporation. This does not just lead to water loss, it also leads to huge energy loss and the excessive consumption of pool chemicals. A quality pool cover can avoid evaporation 70-95%. How?

  • It reduces air circulation above the water

  • It limits or retains heat radiation (depending on the type)

  • It minimises direct exposure of the water surface to the air

Keep your pool clean

You can imagine how all sorts of dirt and debris can enter an open swimming pool. Pool covers are the perfect way to prevent this. Not only can you keep your pool clean and reduce the need for cleaning and backwashing of your filter, it will also reduce your chemical usage. So, save money and time by reducing cleaning and chemical costs.

Avoid heat loss or overheating

As water evaporates, so does the heat contained within the pool. Using an isolated cover for example, ensures 80% less heat loss. The cost of heating your pool can be your greatest expense and therefore losing heat can cost a significant amount. A pool cover is vital to allow your pool to retain as much heat as possible, keeping your pool at the perfect temperature and saving on heating bills. A pool cover could allow your swimming season to be extended for much longer.

In warmer climates, a slatted pool cover can also protect your pool from overheating in the burning sun. Slatted covers can also reflect the sun away from your pool which maintains your perfect pool temperature. It will also increase the lifespan of your pool as excessive water temperatures are damaging to pool lining and can fade the colour of your pool.

Safety

Swimming pools are there for the whole family to enjoy, including children and pets. You cannot always be on hand to watch over them so take precautions to keep the pool area safe at all times. Pool covers are designed to withstand significant weight and therefore remove the risk of falling into the pool when unsupervised.

Enable inside swimming

There are different types of pool covers. From simple solar covers to slatted covers and even complete enclosures. For every style of pool and swimming preferences there is a pool cover matching for your requirements.

Pool enclosures, for example, make it possible to transform your outdoor pool into the perfect indoor swimming area. which means you can swim all year round!
