Backyard pools surged in popularity when homeowners were facing pandemic-fueled lockdowns. Now, these same homeowners are discovering just how much pools can cost to operate each year.
Are there ways to reduce pool maintenance costs so you can enjoy your pool without breaking the bank? Solar blankets are a great place to start. They make pool care easier by reducing debris, evaporation and increasing water temperature.
Not convinced that you need a solar blanket? Read on to learn more about how they can help.
Reduced Pool Water Evaporation
The problem is that pool water evaporation increases as water temperature increases and night time temperatures fall. You could be losing up to half an inch of pool water per day when you leave your pool uncovered all summer long.
Covering your pool at night throughout the summer months can reduce this problem substantially. The ClearDeck® pool cover is installed inside your deck so you can easily cover your pool any time it’s not in use, lowering your water bill by reducing water loss.
Patented Heat-Trapping Technology
Pools are most comfortable to use when the water is at least as warm as the ambient air temperature if not warmer. It’s unsurprising that pool owners are spending thousands of dollars to heat their pools every single year.
The ClearDeck® solar blanket is comprised of thousands of vinyl bubbles that trap heat from the sun’s rays. Not only does this serve as insulation for your pool so that no heat is lost, but it can actually help raise the temperature of the water on a warm, sunny day. Regular use of a solar blanket at night will reduce your reliance on your pool’s water heater and, in turn, your electric bill.
Ease of Use
Once you’ve invested in your own backyard pool, pool care becomes a top priority. The right pool covers can go a long way toward protecting your pool and your bills, but only if you’re using them as often as possible.
The ClearDeck® solar cover roller retracts your solar blanket into your deck and is out of view so that your pool is ready to use in minutes. It only takes one person to pull the blanket back out and secure it over your pool in one minute or less. When your pool care tools are this easy to use, you will use them more often and save money.
