Types of Pool Covers

Category:

Pool covers serve multiple purposes: they protect the water from debris, slow down the breakdown of water treatment chemicals, help retain water temperature, and reduce evaporation—especially important for indoor pools. Here are the different types of pool covers and their benefits:

Isothermal Covers

Made from specialized foil, isothermal covers float directly on the pool’s surface. These covers help reduce maintenance costs by conserving heat and chemicals and minimizing water evaporation. They are easy to put on and remove, making them a convenient choice for day-to-day use.

Automatic Slatted Covers

The most efficient pool cover for summer, automatic slatted covers consist of interconnected hollow PVC slats that float on the pool’s surface. They offer safety features to prevent accidental drowning, protect against dirt and UV rays, and preserve the pool’s lining. These covers are ideal for pools with regular shapes and provide excellent durability.

Pool Enclosures

Pool enclosures extend your swimming season by combining the benefits of indoor and outdoor pools. They protect the water from external contaminants and help stabilize water temperature. Enclosures also provide a high level of safety by preventing accidents involving children or pets. These structures are available in various designs, from low and high enclosures to sliding or detachable systems, with or without rails.

Winter Covers

Winter covers protect your pool from dirt and debris during the colder months, while also reducing the risk of accidents with pets and children. Although more labor-intensive to install and remove, winter covers offer reliable protection and ensure your pool is safe and clean throughout the off-season.
