Pool covers

A swimming pool cover is an essential accessory for maintaining the overall health and longevity of a pool. Here are a few reasons why a swimming pool needs a cover:
 
Safety: One of the primary reasons for having a pool cover is to ensure the safety of individuals, especially children and pets. A securely fitted cover acts as a barrier, preventing accidental falls into the pool, which can potentially lead to drowning incidents.
 
Evaporation reduction: Pool covers help reduce water evaporation, which is beneficial in multiple ways. First, it conserves water, saving you from constantly topping up the pool. Secondly, it reduces the need to refill chemicals, ultimately saving you money and effort. Additionally, lower evaporation rates help maintain the pool’s water balance and reduce heat loss. 
 
Temperature regulation: A pool cover acts as an insulating layer, helping to retain heat within the pool. This is particularly useful in cooler climates or during the night when temperatures drop. By preventing heat loss, a cover can help maintain comfortable swimming temperatures, extending the swimming season and reducing the need for excessive heating.
 
Debris and dirt prevention: Pool covers act as a physical barrier, preventing leaves, twigs, insects, and other debris from entering the pool. This significantly reduces the amount of time and effort required for pool maintenance, such as skimming and cleaning, allowing you to spend more time enjoying the pool.
 
Chemical reduction: With a pool cover in place, there is less exposure to sunlight, which means fewer harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays penetrating the water. This UV reduction helps to minimize the breakdown of chlorine and other pool chemicals, leading to less chemical consumption and cost savings.
 
Energy efficiency: By reducing heat loss and minimizing the need for additional heating, a pool cover can contribute to energy efficiency. This is particularly important if your pool has a heating system, as it helps to retain the heat generated, reducing energy consumption and lowering utility bills.

Pool cover types

• Slatted pool covers
Slatted pool covers are a popular and innovative type of swimming pool cover. They consist of interlocking slats made of durable materials such as PVC or polycarbonate. 
 
Slatted pool covers are designed to be automated, providing ease of use and convenience. The cover is operated by a motorized system that rolls or unrolls the slats, allowing you to effortlessly open or close the pool with the push of a button. This automation eliminates the need for manual labor and makes it quick and simple to cover or uncover the pool as desired. Of course we offer manually opened ones as well. 
 
The slats used in these covers are available in different colours and translucent as well, allowing sunlight to penetrate through to the pool water. This helps to naturally heat the pool during the day, reducing the need for additional heating and extending the swimming season. The slats also act as a barrier against evaporation, preventing water loss and reducing the need for frequent refilling.
 
One of the key benefits of slatted pool covers is their ability to prevent debris from entering the pool. When the cover is closed, the interlocking slats create a solid surface that keeps leaves, dirt, and other debris out of the pool. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for pool maintenance, as there is less skimming and cleaning necessary.
 
The slatted cover also ensures safety for children and pets, as this slatted cover is strong enough to hold around 100kg of weight on itself.
• Pool roofs
Swimming pool roofs are typically made of lightweight and durable materials such as aluminum or polycarbonate. They are designed to cover the entire pool area, creating an enclosed space that offers a range of advantages.
 
In summary, swimming pool roofs provide protection from the elements, extend the swimming season, offer privacy, reduce debris, enhance safety, and add aesthetic appeal. They are a valuable addition to any pool area, providing a comfortable and versatile space that can be enjoyed throughout the year.
• Above ground covers
Swimming pool above ground covers are specifically designed to provide protection and maintenance benefits. 
 
Above ground pool covers are typically made of durable materials such as vinyl or polyethylene. They are custom-fit to cover the entire surface area of the above-ground pool, including the top rails and sides.
 
At the moment, there are many different types of pool covers available on the market, designed for covering pool water in different seasons, different cover fastening solutions, both manually rolled-up covers and automatically rolled-up covers are available.
