Heat retention may not seem a big deal in Arizona, but it can be if you want to use the pool well past the traditional Labor Day pool closing. Let’s face it, it gets cold in the desert in the off months. Swimming pools lose heat and the largest cause of energy loss is through evaporation. If you want to heat your pool water temperature by only a single degree it requires 1 BTU (energy measurement) per gallon of water – for each gallon lost through evaporation.
Pool covers save energy and water by reducing the rate at which water evaporates and at which heat is lost. When you cover the pool when you’re not using it you can reduce the amount of energy required to keep the water at swim-friendly temps. Using a pool cover diligently may allow you to save up to 50% on the heating bill! .
