What are the advantages of a pool cover?
A pool enclosure is much more than a practical accessory—it combines protection, comfort, and efficiency all in one. Whether you want to keep your pool clean, save energy, or extend the swimming season, a pool enclosure offers numerous advantages that make your everyday life easier and use of your pool even more enjoyable. Here are the most important benefits at a glance:
- Protection
A pool cover not only provides protection for children and animals (safety cover), it also keeps debris such as leaves, dust, and bird droppings, etc., away from the pool. The pool hardly needs to be cleaned anymore. No leaves, dust, or small animals fall into the water.
The reduced amount of debris also reduces the need for water treatment products. - Energy Saving
A pool cover is very energy-efficient. First, it insulates the pool by keeping a volume of air above the pool, which reduces the water’s cooling. Second, it acts like a solar panel, capturing the sun’s heat and thus warming the water by up to 5°C per day. This extends the swimming season considerably. - Preventing Water Loss
Furthermore, the cover reduces water loss through evaporation. The evaporated water cannot be directly carried away by the wind. The vapor condenses on the inside of the roof surface in the evening and can then drip back into the pool. Water loss is thus reduced to a minimum. - Benefits
With the retractable versions, the roof elements can be moved independently of each other. This allows the roof to be opened partially or completely, depending on the weather. The “indoor pool” becomes an “outdoor pool” in no time.
In general, the elements are “child’s play” to move by hand.
We only recommend motorization for very shallow and XXL pools, or when mounted on walls (“overhead”).
If there is enough space on the property, the entire roof can be pushed behind the bathroom using a rail extension.
In summary:
- Effective use of solar energy
- At the start of the bathing season, the water temperature rises by up to 5°C daily
- Bathing fun even in changeable weather
- You can even swim under a closed roof
- Minimal cooling of the water at night thanks to excellent insulation properties
- Extension of the bathing season without heating
- Optimal accident protection for children and pets (tested by LNE)
- Protection against contamination of the bathing water by leaves, pollen, and vermin
- Weekly vacuuming the floor is reduced to 2 to 3 times a year
- Significant cost reduction due to lower demand for water treatment products
- No expensive cleaning equipment required
- Reduction in running costs
