Having a personal pool can provide many recreational and health benefits and can be an excellent refuge on a hot summer day. In order to optimize a pool's full potential it is necessary to regulate the pool's water temperature. Even on a hot summer day pool water that is too cold can be uncomfortable for any type of activity. In order to combat frigid water, many pool owners utilize equipment such as gas, electric, or solar heaters to warm the water in their pool. While these heaters can help increase water temperatures, much of the water's heat is lost through evaporation at night when the air is cooler. To reduce utility costs and help maintain warmer pool water temperatures, pool owners may want to consider using 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.
