Decatur & Champaign, IL pool contractors from Imperial Pools, Inc. share benefits of pool covers
Chances are your swimming pool contractor will tell you that a cover for your pool shouldn’t be considered an option but should be thought of as a necessity. Why? A pool cover provides myriad benefits including
- Keeping the pool free from airborne contaminants
- Acting as an additional layer of safety to keep children and pets from falling into the waterÂ
- Traps in any heat
- Slows the rate of evaporation which may mean you can use fewer chemicals to keep the water clean
- Keeps dirt and debris from the water and from being trapped in the filter
When your pool contractor from Imperial Pools, Inc. tells you that you might want to invest in a swimming pool cover, it is advice that you should need, especially when you consider that the money you spend on the cover will be realized in returns when you save money on heating and chemical and pool refilling costs.
Before you purchase a swimming pool cover you need to decide what kind and whether you want it to be a simple cover, a solar cover or a safety cover. You may also — depending on the size of your pool — want to have an electric pool cover mechanism installed as it makes it easier to take the cover on and off which will make it more likely you will use the cover diligently.
