A solar cover is a way to protect your swimming pool from the sun during the day. There are many options for solar covers. You can choose from mesh or solar blankets. These covers are great for protecting your pool during winter storms. The solar cover should be cut just inside the coping edge so that it will fit without causing gaps in the coping. You can smoothen it with a pool brush after you have cut the solar cover.

Solar blankets

During the day, solar blankets can protect your swimming pool from harmful chemicals and also help your pool stay cooler. In hot regions, however, it may be necessary to remove the solar blanket. Before you do this you need to check the temperature in your water. Also, keep the solar blanket out of direct sunlight.

Mesh pool cover

A mesh pool cover will give you many benefits, including safety. Unlike other covers, mesh does not allow any dirt or debris to enter the water, so you'll spend less time cleaning it in the spring and summer. It also prevents algae growth from pools that have been neglected to be cleaned regularly. Using a mesh pool cover will also cut down on maintenance and cleaning, especially during the winter months when your pool is closed.

Winter covers

A Winter pool cover can be a great way of keeping the water warm and reducing evaporation. The winter pool cover doesn't have be taken off during daylight hours, which is a big advantage over regular covers. The winter pool cover is basically a huge tarp that covers the pool. It is usually covered by water bags to help keep debris out.


Storms

Your pool cover can blow off during a storm and cause a lot of damage, especially if it isn't properly secured. You can also get debris from heavy rain. If the cover is not on, it's much easier to get rid of these things. Additionally, storms can cause electrical issues. Make sure you turn off all circuit breakers inside your house, including the ones to your pool.

Winds

Your pool cover could be blown away by strong winds. You should also consider using a pool cover if strong winds blow twigs, pollen and other debris. You can keep your pool cover in position by placing weights around the pool sides.
