Cover Pools

A Cover-Pools pool cover
reduces heat, water and
chemical loss.

The U.S. Department of Energy has stated that a cover is the single best way to reduce heat loss on a pool. A covered pool also helps prevent the evaporation of both water and expensive chemicals. It even acts as a passive solar heater by capturing the sun's radiant heat and it extends your swimming season. When a pool is covered, there can be a solar heat gain up to 10 to 15 degrees, making it less expensive to heat the pool. A pool cover prevents heat evaporation, keeping the pool warm when the air temperature cools off at night. This dramatically cuts down on heating costs.

Saves energy and adds heat.

By sealing off the pool and reducing heat loss, the Save-T pool cover dramatically cuts down on heating costs. To see how much you could potentially save annually in your area, refer to this chart from the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy at the U.S. Department of Energy

Saves water.

Water conservation is essential in many parts of the country. Pools lose water to evaporation in varying degrees depending on many factors, including air, heat, shade in the pool area, wind and water temperature. An uncovered, 16-by-36 foot pool can lose as much as 180 gallons of water a week or 720 gallons of water a month to evaporation.

On indoor pools, your cover prevents evaporation, and in most cases can eliminate the need for expensive dehumidification systems.


Saves chemicals.

By reducing evaporation, your Save-T pool cover reduces the use of chemicals. One gallon of chlorine will evaporate in two hours on a hot day in an uncovered pool, whereas it can last up to several weeks in a covered pool. You can save a substantial amount of money by using pool covers.
