As winter comes to a close and you start thinking about warmer days ahead, perhaps you are thinking about upgrades you'd like to make to your swimming pool this summer. But there is an upgrade you might even be able to make right now and it's one that will help you and your family all year round. A custom swimming pool cover can provide a number of key benefits for your pool and your family. Here's why you should talk to a local supplier of swimming pool equipment about swimming pool covers.
Less Evaporation
Do you love your swimming pool but hate the water bill during the warmer months of the year? When your pool water is exposed to the elements, it's easier for it to evaporate. Covering your pool can lower the amount of evaporation that occurs and reduce the amount of water you'll need to use to keep the pool filled. Keeping the pool cover on also helps keep the pool warmer and that can allow your pool heater to take a break, saving you additional money in energy costs.
Reduce Maintenance
When your pool is covered, there will be less debris that gets inside of it. That's less debris that you'll have to spend time scooping out with a net or other tools. You also might not have to put as many chemicals into the pool because algae will not grow as easily within a pool that is covered. Keep your pool covered even during the summer and you may be able to simply take the cover off and jump right in the next time you want to swim.
Protect From Weather
A pool cover can protect the sidewalls of your pool from damage due to the weather. This is true all year round and your pool will be shielded from hail, rain, or debris that is blown toward the pool by a strong wind. The elements can often have dirt and dust coming along with them and a pool cover will keep all of that gunk out of your pool.
Keep Your Family Safe
One of the best reasons to get a pool cover is that it can keep a family member like a child or your favorite pet from accidentally falling into the pool. You can let your dog or kid outside without having to keep a close watch because of the open pool. A pool cover will of course also stop any neighborhood kids from using your pool for a quick dip without your permission or supervision.
