You have invested time and money into filling up your pool and getting it to the perfect temperature. Now what? A solar pool blanket is an essential accessory to ensure the maintenance of your pool. It minimises the debris and rain entering your pool whilst reducing evaporation. This will save you money on your water bills!
Solar pool heating is the most effective and cost-effective way to warm your pool. However, in the same way that the sun provides warmth to your pool water, other factors also reduce the temperature. This may include wind or evaporation; this is where a solar pool blanket comes in! The pool blanket will create a layer on top of the pool and protect the pool’s temperature. Thus, obtaining the current temperature and reducing the expenses associated with reheating your pool.
How Does it increase the heat?
The pool blankets are covered with bubbles that are rapidly heated by the sun which is then transferred into the pool. Sunlover Heating Queensland’s pool blankets have 11500 bubbles per square metre, approximately 40% more than regular pool heating blankets. This means your pool will work harder to retain the heat and keep your pool warm.
How much money will it save me?
As mentioned above, your pool blanket is going to prevent water evaporation. But how much money will this save on your water bill? Without the pool cover your pool will lose approximately 100 litres of water per day. This means you will consistently require to top up not only your water but also the chemicals in your pool.
