Why Investing in a Quality Pool Cover is Important Buying Guides Why Investing in a Quality Pool Cover is Important A pool cover is an essential asset for any pool owner, especially in Australia’s sunny climate, where water conservation is crucial. However, it’s not enough to just have any cover; investing in a high-quality pool cover is paramount to saving both time and money on pool maintenance. When it comes to pool covers or blankets, not all are created equal. One popular option is the solar cover, often referred to as bubble blankets or bubble wrap covers. These covers serve a dual purpose – they act as a barrier against evaporation, reduce water loss, and help maintain the water temperature. This feature is particularly vital in Australia, where hot and dry conditions can lead to rapid water evaporation. Aside from solar covers, there are other types to consider, such as winter leaf covers for keeping debris out during the colder months as well as non-heating solar pool covers for areas with consistently warm weather, and thermal covers that excel at heat retention. It’s crucial to select the right cover that aligns with your specific needs and climate. Furthermore, the micron thickness of the cover and its proper installation also play pivotal roles in determining its efficiency and longevity. Thicker covers tend to provide better insulation and durability. Ensuring your pool cover is installed correctly will maximise its effectiveness in preventing evaporation and conserving water.

How to Fix A Green Pool After Rain Expert Advice How to Fix A Green Pool After Rain After a heavy rainfall, your pool’s chemical balance can be disrupted, leading to altered pH levels, diluted chlorine, salt, and minerals. Moreover, leaves, dirt, and algae spores are carried into the water, which then decompose and deposit phosphates. These conditions, coupled with sunlight, create the ideal environment for algae and contaminants to thrive. The result? An overnight transformation of your pool into a murky green mess. If your pool has turned green following a rainstorm, it’s likely due to algae growth in the water. To address this issue, we recommend visiting your local Poolwerx for a complimentary water test and obtaining Vitalyse Poly Plus Algaecide. If you prefer professional assistance, our Green to Clean Pool Service is also available. Read More
