Water, Chemical & Energy Savings

The U.S. Department of Energy has established that 60% to 80% of the cost of pool heating can be saved by covering the pool when not in use.

Evaporation can make up 90% of a pools energy loss.

On a hot day, a gallon of chlorine will evaporate in just two hours.  That same gallon of chlorine can last as long as two weeks in a covered pool.

Less chlorine means fewer calcium and mineral deposits, which translates into less frequent acid washing and re-plastering of Gunite pools and longer life for vinyl pools.

Pumps and filters may last up to four times longer because you can significantly reduce filtering time with a  covered pool.

With a covered pool, daytime water temperature increases 10 to 15 degrees and nighttime heat loss is reduced by 70%.

Water Savings

3 to 6 Thousand Gallons This Summer

You will save thousands of gallons of water this summer with a pool cover.

If the pool is heated, the heating cost will be reduced 50% or more.

BASIC POOL EVAPORATION CHART

Example: A 16’ X 36’ pool with a weekly evaporation rate of ½”

will lose 180 gallons a week, or 771 gallons in a month.

Pools differ in evaporation rates due to Air Heat, Shade, Water Temperature, etc.
