Are you considering buying a solar cover for
your swimming pool? Maybe you’ve heard all the hype about them and want to know
if they’re really as good as they seem. Or, perhaps you’ve spotted them at
stores and wondered if they were worth investing in. Ultimately, only you can
make the decision of whether or not to buy one, but, before you do, at least
take a moment to educate yourself on the basics of these covers.
What
Are They?
You can think of a solar cover as a sort of
“blanket’ for your swimming pool. They’re designed to offer all of the
protection of a traditional cover while also trapping in heat and keeping your
pool warm and comfortable for longer.
Most solar covers are made of simple but
sturdy plastic, and they’re available in a wide range of colors and styles.
Are
They Worth It?
Solar covers can vary greatly in terms of
price, but most of them are fairly expensive. Thus, you may be wondering
whether or not they’re worth the investment.
Again, that’s up to you to decide, but they do
work quite well. They can often warm a pool as much as 8 degrees from just one
day’s use. This can make your pool much more comfortable and can keep you from
having to use a pool heater, which has its own expenses.
Ultimately, in order to keep your pool free
from debris, you really should have some kind of pool cover. Whether or not
that’s a solar pool cover is your decision. If you do, however, want a pool
that stays as warm and comfortable as possible, a solar cover may be a wise
investment. Just make sure you put as much research and effort into finding the
right one as you do into deciding whether or not you need one in the first
place.
