                  Swimming Pool Covers Help You Save Money, Energy and Water

 

Have you put “get a pool cover” at the bottom of your to-do list? Maybe you should be moving it up on your list. There are many reasons to use a pool cover, About.com reports in its Pool & Patio section. Here are just a few ways:

Save Energy: Pool covers hold in the heat, so your heater uses less fuel to keep it warm. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, savings of 50 to 70% are possible.

Conserve Water: Pool covers reduce evaporation by 90 to 95%, so you use less water. According to the Las Vegas Valley Water District, an uncovered pool in their region could lose 50 to 70 gallons of water per square foot each year (that’s 10,000 – 14,000 gallons each year for a pool with a surface area of 200 feet).

Use Fewer Chemicals: Pool covers can reduce your chemical use by 35 to 60%.

The more you learn about pool covers, it becomes clear that they are arguably the most multi-faceted aspect of any poolscape. They keep debris out, water in, retain heat and can serve as a safety measure -- preventing people from falling into the water -- plus so much more.

With all the possibilities, it’s easy to see why a pool cover could be the next great investment you make in your pool.
