Thermal pool covers, winter pool covers, and security swimming pool covers Adelaide are the most commonly used types of swimming pool covers used by pool owners. They come in a variety of styles and sizes and are suitable for use on all indoor and outdoor pools. Swimming pool covers help reduce pool heating costs by retaining pool heat, thereby reducing the energy required to reheat the pool to its ideal warmth and swimming temperatures. Swimming pool covers also help reduce pool water loss through evaporation, and by minimizing water evaporation they also help to reduce water utility expenses from adding pool water to offset pool water loss due to high evaporation rates.
Swimming pool covers currently are made from UV-resistant materials, to make them durable and last longer against environmental damage and deterioration. They are either mounted on automatic or manually operated rollers that make reeling and unreeling swimming pool covers Adelaide much easier for pool owners. Manually operated swimming pool covers are relatively inexpensive and use a manually operated hand-crank to cover or uncover a pool. Automatic roller-mounted swimming pool covers use electric motors mounted on rollers to aid in reeling and unreeling swimming pool covers and are more expensive but more convenient and easier to use.
Swimming pool covers help reduce pool maintenance expenses by reducing chlorine consumption and the use of other pool chemicals to control algae growth by reducing the amount of sunlight and pool water contamination by covering the pool when it is not in use. Chemical expenses are vastly reduced by protecting the pool from debris and dirt contamination when a swimming pool cover is used and protects the pool water from harmful UV rays and uncontrolled algae growth that affect the quality of swimming pool water. Swimming pool covers Adelaide also help keep dirt and debris out of the pool water and reduce the instances of pool drain blockages and unscheduled pool skimming and cleaning expenses. Swimming pool covers also keep direct sunlight out which aids in reducing water evaporation in warmer temperatures and adds extra savings by reducing pool water consumption to replace any evaporated pool water.
Swimming pool covers also add a layer of security from drowning accidents and is now mandated by law to be installed and used by all swimming pool owners for public and private pool safety. Swimming pool covers are great at keeping small children and pets safe from drowning accidents and are also superior in keeping heavy debris from entering the pool and contaminating the water. Security swimming pool covers are generally designed to carry heavy weights that fall on the safety cover and for added security and safety, security swimming pool covers are usually attached to pool deck anchors rather than on rollers to prevent it from collapsing when children, pets, or heavy items fall on it when the swimming pool is not in use.
The majority of swimming pool covers come with child-proof locks so a child will be unable to unlock the pool cover anchors and significantly reducing the risks of an accidental drowning. Security swimming pool covers reduce a pool owner’s legal liability exposure from pool accidents by presenting an insistence on safety and compliance to mandatory law requirements.
