Having your own pool has many benefits for fun and for your health.
On a hot Summer's day being able to take a dip is a great way to cool off and splash around with your friends and family.
It is also a great way to get regular exercise and to teach your children to swim.
However owning your own pool requires regular maintenance as well as coming with potential safety risks.
This is why swimming pool covers can save you a lot of time as well as helping to keep your children and pets safe.
When you're not using your swimming pool it is a good idea to cover it to stop any debris from falling in it.
Getting leaves and other debris out of a pool can be a time consuming process as well as possibly causing blockages in the filter and pump.
It is therefore sensible to cover the pool when ever you are not using it so you don't have to spend so much time keeping it clean.
Solar swimming pool covers are a great idea as they are designed to heat the pool using heat from the sun.
They do this by reducing the amount of heat that is lost as a result of the water on the surface evaporating.
Typically 90% of a pools heat is lost through the evaporation of surface water, so a good solar cover can help reduce this dramatically.
One of the great advantages of this is that it also helps to reduce the amount of money you will spend on heating the pool.
If your pool is outdoors then you're not likely to be using it in the winter but there is always the danger that your child or pet could accidentally walk out on to it.
A safety cover comes with reinforced webbing straps that can take much more weight than a regular winter cover.
This means that if anything lands on the cover it won't sink in the water.
