The reasons for using a pool cover may vary but the numerous benefits are extraordinary.

Safety Benefits

A safety cover provides peace of mind for the pool owner. The PowerPlastics Safety Cover conforms to international safety requirements, enabling 2 adults and a child to walk on top of the cover.

Extending The Pool Season

By using thermal covers a massive 6 – 8° C is created within the pool water. The sun’s heat is transferred through the cover and heats the water below. This enables a good six weeks extra swimming time in spring and autumn as well as more enjoyable swimming in peak seasons.

Heat Retention

When the overnight temperature drops the pool's water temperature, a thermal cover will assist in retaining this heat. It can also assist in windy areas and, where pools are heated, less heat or a lower specification of heat pump is needed.

Water Evaporation Reduced

A pool cover will reduce water evaporation by as much as 90% when in use, thus saving a precious resource. While water evaporation on outdoor pools is wasteful, on indoor pools it creates an unfriendly odour that the pool cover minimises.

Energy Benefits

EnergyGuard prevents algae from growing in a pool thereby reducing the need for long hours of filtration - a large energy saving for the pool owner. Covers also prevent leaves and debris landing in the pool, again reducing the need for greater filtration.

Reduction in Chemical Usage

A covered pool requires less chemical intervention as the water stays cleaner for longer and requires less chemicals for sanitation purposes.

Reduces Debris Contamination

All covers prevent debris from entering the pool, some more than others, depending upon the type of cover. Less debris means less maintenance around the pool, less chemicals and less pump running time.

Pool Storage

During winter months when the pool is not in use, an appropriate choice of cover will allow the pool to be “winterized” with minimal pump use for water circulation and minimal chemical intervention. When swimming starts again, the water will be ready for swimming with minimal effort.

Financial Benefits

A thermal pool cover saves money by reducing the costs of heating, given its heat retention capabilities. A pool cover also keeps the pool clean so less filtration is required, providing further savings in electricity and in chemical usage. The algae-inhibiting EnergyGuard Cover saves up to 50% in both energy and electricity, so the cover pays for itself in just over one year.

Aesthetics

Pool covers accessorise the pool area in a visually attractive manner. Our fully automatic covers offer the optimum in visual appeal.
