Autumn is the time when most recreational swimmers end a season of using the pool. Days are cool and short, and the pool is being prepared for winterizing. On the flip side, autumn presents a great opportunity for installing a pool cover. Today, we bring you 5 reasons why you should consider a pool cover in the fall.
1. Extend the Swimming Season Beyond Summer
A cover maintains a pleasant water temperature in the pool. This means that the heated water in the pool will be suitable for swimming even during the autumn. Similarly, you can actively use the pool during the spring. With heating systems, you can warm the water to the desired temperature, and the insulation of the pool cover prevents it from cooling down.
2. Autumn is a Critical Period for Pool Contamination
Autumn is associated with the abundant falling of leafes from trees. Unfortunately, these impurities often end up in pools. Leaves, insects, or sand can disrupt the surface of the pool. The result is a slippery bottom that needs frequent cleaning and maintenance. Investing in a pool cover in the autumn months extends the lifespan of the pool and reduces the need for frequent cleaning.
3. Pool Covers Save Water Consumption
A pool cover helps reduce undesirable water evaporation. Regularly topping up evaporated water increases the operating costs of the pool. Investing in a cover pays off in this regard because you'll need to replenish water much less frequently.
4. Pool Covers Ensure Safety Throughout the Year
A pool cover is recommended, especially for families with children or pets prone to falling into the pool. During play, they can be inattentive, and it often happens that they fall into the pool. The risk of fall-related consequences multiplies in the fall and winter. If you drain the pool during this period, a fall into the pool can be much stronger and more dangerous. Similarly, if you leave water in it, it can be very cold or freezing, posing a risk of temperature shock. Therefore, covering the pool is an excellent prevention measure against accidents.
5. Aesthetics Matter Too
A pool cover enhances the appearance of the pool and increases the value of the property. Generally, pools with covers are preferred in the real estate market. They add a touch of flair and elegance to the pool. Moreover, in the fall, you can pay much less for a pool cover, as it is not the peak pool season.
