Swimming Pool Covers

Swimming pool covers reduce pool heating costs by retaining pool heat, thereby reducing the energy required to reheat the pool to its ideal warmth and swimming temperatures. They help reduce pool water loss through evaporation and minimizing water evaporation helps reduce water utility expenses due to adding extra pool water to offset pool water loss due to high evaporation rates. Most swimming pool covers currently manufactured are made from UV-resistant materials, so they last longer and are much durable against environmental damage and deterioration. There pool cover types that are automatic or manual roller-mounted swimming pool covers that make extending and retracting the swimming pool cover much easier for the pool owner. Automatic-type swimming pool covers have electric motors mounted on rollers that help in the reeling and unreeling of the swimming pool covers. Automatic roller-mounted swimming pool covers may be more expensive but they are also the most convenient and the easiest to use. Manually-operated swimming pool covers are also mounted in rollers but are reeled and unreeled by using a manually operated hand-crank. All swimming pool covers come in a variety of styles and sizes. Thermal pool covers, winter pool covers, and security swimming pool covers are considered as the general types of pool covers commonly used by pool owners. All Sydney swimming pool covers are manufactures are suitable for all indoor and outdoor pools.

There are security-type Sydney swimming pool covers, these pool covers are great at keeping small children and pets safe from drowning accidents and are also superior in keeping heavier debris from entering the pool and contaminating the swimming pool water. The use of security swimming pool covers is now commonly required by law to be installed and used by swimming pool owners for public and private pool safety. The security swimming pool covers reduce a pool owner’s legal liability exposure from pool accidents by showing to authorities a pool owner’s safety consciousness and compliance to law requirements. Security swimming pool covers also come with child-proof locks so a child will not be able to unlock the pool cover anchors thereby greatly reducing accidental drowning incidents. Security swimming pool covers are generally designed to be able to carry heavier weights that can accidentally fall on the cover. Security pool covers are usually attached to heavy-duty pool deck anchors rather than on rollers to prevent it from collapsing when something heavy such as children and pets falls on it when the swimming pool is not in use.

The advantages of a swimming pool cover are that they reduce the instances of pool drain blockages because of outside debris and contamination that land on the pool cover rather than on the water which means that the pool skimmer will not get clogged when the leaves are removed. They keep dirt and debris out of the pool and keeps sunlight out which aids in reducing water evaporation in warmer temperatures and reduce the incidence of uncontrolled algae growth. They reduce algae growth by reducing the amount of sunlight and contamination from entering the pool. Sydney swimming pool covers also help reduce pool chemical expenses by protecting the pool from debris and dirt contamination and all swimming pool covers reduce the consumption of chlorine and other pool chemicals since it reduces the number of UV rays that affect the quality of swimming pool water.
