Pool Blankets and Solar Pool Covers: Why They Are Important

In the scorching Australian heat, your pool can lose a significant amount of water through evaporation. This is where pool covers and blankets step in as a crucial piece of pool equipment.

Pool covers and blankets serve as effective barriers and can significantly help in reducing water loss due to evaporation. With El Niño weather patterns looming, it’s more crucial than ever to conserve water. By investing in a high-quality pool cover or blanket, you not only slash your water bills but also contribute to the conservation efforts vital for our arid climate.

But the benefits don’t stop there. These covers act as a shield, preventing debris and leaves from tarnishing or staining your pool floor and lining. This means less time spent on cleaning and more time enjoying your pool. Additionally, by reducing the exposure of your pool water to direct sunlight, these covers inhibit algae growth, minimising the need for excessive chemical treatments. This not only saves you money on chemicals but also promotes a healthier, eco-friendly approach to pool maintenance.
