Swimming pool covers are an interesting accessory for your swimming pool. There are some mixed opinions around the humble pool cover though there are plenty of benefits to them.

Installing or using a pool cover is a simple and highly effective way of keeping your pool free of garden debris and bugs. By keeping your pool water clean, a pool cover drastically decreases the number of times your pool will need washing.

Pool covers are an essential accessory for any pool and will save you both time and money when it comes to pool maintenance. Using a pool cover is one of the best ways of preventing your pool water from evaporating. Pool covers prevent water evaporation by up to 95% so they are one of the best things you can do around the pool to preserve your pool water.

Keeping your pool covered reduces the amount of chemical usage by stopping chemical evaporation into the atmosphere.

A cover will also save you up to 50% on heating costs. This is because evaporation is the major source of heat loss for swimming pools, which occurs mainly at night when the air temperature drops below the temperature of the water in the pool. For those of you without pool heating, a pool cover actually helps extend your swimming season by increasing the pool temperature considerably.

So in summary here are 5 Benefits of a Pool Cover:

1. Stops debris from entering your pool, lowering cleaning amount

2. Prevents pool water evaporation by up to 95%

3. Reduces chemical usage need
