Do I Really Need a Cover on My Pool or Hot Tub?

Pool covers can be a great asset to your home pool for many reasons. Here are a few great ones for putting a cover over your personal pool!  

  • Slow Down/Stop Evaporation 
Yes the weather is perfectly sunny and very warm, so warm that diving into your pool sounds like the perfect thing to do. Though the weather is great for swimming it is also great for sucking the water out of the pool and into the air. A pool cover will limit the evaporation, in fact it will stop it as long as the pool is covered, cutting down on the need to add more water more often in the heat. 

  • Use Less Chemicals 
Using a pool cover can cut down on chemical consumption by 35% to 60% and using less chemicals means using less money.  

  • Keep the Heat 
If your pool is heated, covering it will reduce heat loss. It will keep the heat that you pay to put into the water, in the water.  

Pools that are not heated and rely on the sun to keep them warm also benefit from a cover at night, as the cover will trap the heat in the water from the day.  

So, in short pool covers trap in heat and keep the cool temperatures of the night from dropping the water temperature. The cover does not have to be a fancy expensive one for this to work.  

  • Keep Out the Gunk 
This is probably the most easily guessed reason to keep a cover on your pool. Stuff from your yard and garden/flower beds, the trees, insects that want to cool off, other animals needing to get out of the heat will all end up in an unattended pool. Spend much less time with that telescoping pole fishing out every little bit and piece making your water dirty. Use a cover to keep all of that stuff out of your pool while you are not using it.  

  • Saves Money 
This was referenced before but it is so beneficial that we thought it needed its own number on the list. Purchasing a pool cover pays for itself in the long run because you will be using less heat, less chemicals, and less water; which all mean spending less money. An added bonus to saving money is conserving energy and who doesn’t want to do something to help keep our planet healthy?  

  • Some of them Help with Safety 
A quality fiberglass mesh cover can prevent someone from falling into the water. As long as the cover is installed and attached properly it can hold up to 400 pounds per square foot. These are the heavy duty covers that require a manual or automatic track system, not a tarp or solar cover. We can all agree that any device that prevents little ones from falling in while parents are busy and not able to watch are worth the investment.
