What's New in Pool Covers

More pool owners are coming to appreciate the value of a pool cover and its various benefits. 

The resulting lack of evaporation saves water. The pool remains cleaner, not just by preventing debris from blowing in, but also by intercepting insects and wildlife to avoid drowning in the pool water. This, in turn, results in needing far fewer chemicals and less backwashing. So, pool covers can avert or delay many aspects of pool maintenance. 

There are other reasons a pool owner might consider a good-quality pool cover.; for one thing, they are a lot cooler than their older counterparts.  Here are four exciting types on the market and why a homeowner might consider them worth the investment:

Telescopic Pool Covers 

Telescopic pool covers offer the safety of a sturdy pool cover as well as their ability to keep the pool water passively warmer thanks to the greenhouse effect they create. This effect can raise the water temperature by 5-10 degrees, prolonging the number of hours a person can swim each day and lengthens the swimming season. Another type of heater becomes unnecessary. Telescopic covers are popular among owners who prefer long days in the pool and even longer pool seasons. Their shield shape (low, medium, or high) acts as an enclosure and allows the swimmer access.

Telescopic platforms

These pool covers are a wonderfully innovative way to increase the utility of the pool area. The platform covers and hides the pool completely. When covered, the pool area space can be employed for other purposes. 

The clip-on assembly is easy to put as it doesn't require fastening of screws and drilling holes. Because they are aesthetically pleasing and technically convenient, pool owners are eagerly installing telescopic platforms. 

Above-ground pool covers

These pool covers are anchored to the pool's edges and have a stunning roller mechanism located outside the pool. Above-ground pool covers are excellent for pool owners who missed factoring them into the pool construction or purchased a home that already had a pool. Installing them is easy with the help of professional pool service providers. 

In-ground pool covers

For new pools, in-ground pool covers are the best alternative as a separate compartment built-in to the ground for the roller mechanism accessories along the pool deck seamlessly. The cover section is divided from the pool using bricks or PVC panels for an attractive finish

Though some covers are easy to install and uninstall, a professional pool maintenance team can provide expertise and save the homeowner time and effort. If you're considering a pool cover, buying one during the summer season will prolong your pool use and is one of the ways to help keep your pool sparkling clean.
