How Effective are Solar Pool Covers?

Swimming pool covers can be invaluable when it comes to maintaining the health of your pool – and solar covers are lauded as doing more than just keep debris out of your water! Crucially, they can help prevent up to 98% of evaporation, ensuring far less chemical and heat loss.

Due to being made from translucent or transparent materials, solar covers also let the sun’s heat through, transmitting it into the water. With these properties that allow for solar gains and heat retention, using a solar cover during the swimming season should help you save money on heating as your heaters don’t have to work as hard, and you can rely on them less.
