Solar Pool Covers For Above Ground
How do our Solar blankets work and keep your pool warm
Solar radiation is the key to heating a pool naturally. When the sun beats down on the pool our semi translucent cover allows solar radiation to enter the water, thus heating the pool, as though the cover was absent.The
other thing a solar blanket does is trap heat in the pool water. At night when
it gets cool the pool water will begin to condense out of the pool, this draws
the heat out of the water. Our solar blanket blocks this from happening
so all that heat you built up will stay in the pool.
So
you get the heating during the day (the solar part of the equation) and you get
the thermal protection at night (the blanket part of the equation).
If
you don’t get much sun on the pool the blanket will not heat the pool. So the
bottom line is no sun on the pool no heating effect from the blanket.
If
you have a heater for the pool, regardless of they type of heater, you will
want a blanket to trap the heat in the pool. If you are using gas or electric
heat the blanket should cut your heating cost in half. If you are using a solar
panel you will need it to trap the heat in otherwise you may not be able to
maintain the temperature when it gets cold.
How a solar blankets just simply save you money?
Simultaneously
a solar cover will nearly eliminate evaporation, reduce your energy and
chemical consumption, and act as a barrier against leaves and debris. These
benefits will save you both money and time for years to come.
What, exactly, is a micron and why do they matter?
It is just a unit of measurement that’s equal to one-millionth of a metre. In
reference to pool covers this is a measurement of the thickness of the bonded
material layers between the bubbles and is NOT referring to the size of the
bubble.
Will salt water damage
our pool cover?
No, salt water in swimming pools will not damage our cover material. We suggest
to keep your salt application at a recommended dose and avoid adding too much
to prevent corrosive effects to other parts of your pool and equipment. Shop high quality Solar Blanket
Covers
What damage can high levels of chlorine and unbalanced
water do?
High levels of chlorine can increase the deterioration process of the cover
material and will reduce the life time of your cover and it will void your
warranty. Please ensure your pool water is always balanced to the correct and
recommended levels such as ph, alkalinity, chlorine, calcium hardness.
Incorrect chemical levels can lead to severe corrosion problems and scaling of
your pool and pool equipment.
How long will the covers last?
High levels of chlorine can increase the deterioration process of the
cover material and will reduce the life time of your cover and it will void
your warranty. A swimming pool with a high volume of chlorine/unbalanced
water will reduce the lifespan of a bubble cover and speed up the process of
degradation. With UV radiation and pool chemicals such as chlorine are
constantly attacking it, a pool cover is subjected to a very harsh environment.
Heat will also play its part in accelerating the effects of the chlorine and UV
radiation. Bubble covers have a limited life and will only last around 50
– 120% of their lifespan, largely dependent on the amount of correct cover
care.
Guide only:
500 micron 6 -8 years
600 micron 10 – 12 years
How
to Measure Your Pool
1. Measure your pool’s
length and width at the maximum water level and we will deliver to your
doorstep.
2. If your pool has steps
or a swim out area, measure that separately and you will combine your
dimensions or you can choose to leave that area open to save buying a large
cover.
3. If your pool is not
rectangular then simply form the smallest rectangle possible around your pool
with a length of rope, tape measure, or something similar and we will use those
dimensions to custom make you an appropriately sized cover.
4. If possible send
photos if your pool is an unusual shape.
5. We will deliver the
cover in a rectangular shape with enough overhang to each side of the pool
above the dimension you provided and it will require cutting to the shape of
your pool. Call is for tips on doing this.
