Swimming pool covers are designed to cover pools when they are not in use to protect them from debris, pests, and trespassers. While many types of covers are available, including automatic and manual versions, they all offer numerous advantages to owners. 

Why You Should Invest in a Pool Cover

1. Improved Safety

For safety reasons, swimming pool covers are recommended for families with small children and pets. Covers help reduce the risk of accidental drownings, especially if unauthorized people gain access to your pool. Safety covers are typically made of woven mesh or solid vinyl and are secured with straps to anchors attached to the pool deck. 

2. Easier Maintenance

Pool covers made from solid vinyl are excellent at keeping natural debris and pests out of your swimming pool. This helps you save time and money on maintenance.

With fewer leaves in the pool, you won’t need to vacuum and skim as often to remove contaminants. There is also less chance of bacteria entering your pool, which would require special chemicals and additional water treatments. 

3. Energy Savings

Evaporation is a significant source of energy loss for swimming pools, and covers help minimize evaporation. Heating costs are reduced when pools are covered and not in use. In fact, homeowners can save up to 70% on pool energy costs by using a pool cover.
