Solar Pool Blankets Offers Many Benefits.

Pool owners who have installed solar pool blankets often will tell you about the wisdom of their decision. Here are some of the benefits of solar pool blankets they will mention.

Your have a warmer pool… and a longer swimming season!

One of the initial comments you will hear is around how these blankets will allow sunlight to pass through the cover to heat your pool.  You can think of this as basic type of magnifying glass. Water temperatures can increase by up to 7 degrees celcius. This can provide longer swimming season and lower energy cost if you have other pool heating systems. However they also act as a thermal blanket and will retain the heat inside your pool.

The swimming pool is cleaner

Okay so we know there is a heating benefit about another benefit is keeping the pool cleaner. Pool solar blankets keep the majority of dirt and leaves out of your pool. This makes it easier to keep sparkling clean all year round.

The flow on benefit from this is that you will be have more spare time as you are not spending time cleaning your pool!

You will also save on pool maintenance costs. Cleaner pools need less maintenance and therefore fewer chemicals treatments to keep it clean. Not only is that good for your hip pocket but also the environment.

By keeping your pool cleaner pool solar blankets also mean you will save hours and hours of time that you would have spent previously cleaning your pool.

Lower heating costs

Now we all know about the rising cost of energy. Another benefit you will hear is how heating costs can be lowered. These can be significant in some areas as the solar pool blanket acts like a magnifying glass and then traps that heat in. Thus making it affordable. Now, while they may need replacing regularly, you will find that the saving out weigh the cost. Like always there are different price points and generally speaking the higher the price the better the quality.

Reduce the amount of evaporation

The pool solar blanket is an effective barrier between the air and water in the pool. As such it can reduce evaporation which can account for up to 70% of pool heat loss. Once again, savings on water and energy follow.
