Winter pool cover

One of the main causes of pool water deterioration is the fall of dirt. Pool water is exposed to all kinds of dirt carried by the wind, from large debris such as branches and leaves from trees to small dirt like insects, dust and other tiny dirt particles. This debris, besides being a hazard because it can clog the filtration equipment, is also harmful to the water quality of the pool.

The winter cover prevents this debris from falling into the water, helping to keep it visibly cleaner but also preventing serious water maintenance problems. Dirt introduced into the pool can easily lead to the appearance of bacteria.

If organic debris is not removed, it rots generating microorganisms that negatively affect water quality. By preventing this debris from falling into the pool, the water stays much cleaner and the appearance of these harmful microorganisms is prevented.

Prevention is the best solution to avoid pool water deterioration and thus keep it in optimal bathing conditions for much longer.

The winter cover is opaque, which means it blocks sunlight penetration through the cover. By protecting the pool from sunlight exposure, the negative effects it can have on pool water maintenance are avoided.

Direct sunlight on pool water can cause the proliferation of microorganisms that often lead to algae growth in the water. Transparent algae may appear, which stick to the pool walls and are difficult to remove. Green algae, which are very unpleasant to the eye and can tint the water greenish, may also appear.

The winter cover prevents algae formation. Additionally, it can be left exposed to the sun all year round, as it is made of quality PVC with a treatment for UV resistance, preventing ageing from continuous sun exposure.

The winter cover prevents water evaporation, so besides keeping the water in better condition from one year to the next, it will reduce the amount of water needed to refill the pool. By preventing evaporation, chemical treatments are also optimised, reducing the use of chemicals by up to 70%. It also reduces filtration time by up to 50%, saving energy and extending the life of the filtration system.

It helps to heat the pool by maintaining the temperature during the night, thus extending the swimming season. During winter, it also reduces the risk of water freezing.

It also reduces the risk of falls, although it is not a certified safety device and should not be used as such; if the cover is properly tensioned, it can support considerable weight, preventing falls into the pool, especially in the case of children.
