Pool covers help reduce the cost of pool maintenance chemicals and chlorine that is required to maintain clean pool water quality by protecting the swimming pool water from direct sunlight to reduce the possibility of uncontrolled algae growth when the swimming pool is left unattended or unused for extended periods.
