If you’re lucky enough to have a swimming pool at home, it’s in your best interests to look for economically and environmentally responsible ways to maintain it. Investing in a quality pool blanket is a great way to minimise your pool maintenance costs and the time you spend keeping it clean and looking inviting. We believe that pool covers are essential pool accessories that deliver a wealth of benefits to all swimming pool owners. Here are some of the most important benefits associated with covering your pool with a pool blanket.
Keep your pool clean
All kinds of algae and bacteria can infest a swimming pool if it isn’t kept clean and free of dirt and debris, which is a great reason to cover your pool with a quality pool blanket. Not only does this help to safeguard your family’s health and wellbeing, as it also makes cleaning and maintaining your pool easier and less time-consuming. If you’re fed up with scooping leaves and sticks from your pool, you’ll love having a pool blanket!
Minimise evaporation
All pools, even indoor pools, are affected by evaporation. Due to the large surface and exposure to the elements, including the wind as well as the sun, swimming pools are affected by a high rate of evaporation. This is especially true of heated swimming pools, as the warm water combined with exposure to the elements speeds up the rate of evaporation, resulting in water loss that costs money to replace. Covering your pool with a pool blanket minimises evaporation, saves you money and is beneficial for the environment as you’re using less water. That’s economically and environmentally responsible.
Reduce chemical usage
Because swimming pool blankets help to keep pools clean and free of debris, covered pools require less chlorine and chemicals. This isn’t only beneficial from a financial perspective, it’s also beneficial from a health perspective as you’ll reduce your exposure to chlorine. And if you’re using minerals instead of saltwater or chlorine, you’ll use less and save money.
Minimise pool maintenance costs
Following on from the previous point, as your pool is cleaner because it’s covered with a pool blanket that keeps out dirt and debris, it puts less strain on your pool filter and pump, and reduces your overall pool maintenance costs. As we all know well, pools can be quite an expense at times, so it’s wise to look for ways to minimise the cost of pool maintenance and investing in a quality pool cover is a great way to achieve this.
