Here is another of the most common questions asked by customers: "What's the difference between a summer and winter cover? Can't I avoid it? Can I buy only one or are they both needed?"
I'm going to explain the characteristics and functions of each one, along with the main types on the market.
POOL SUMMER COVERS
I start from this type of coverage just because it is the most underrated by those who buy or already owns a pool.
It must be understood that the water in the pool is very affected by phenomena such as temperature variations and evaporation in terms of heat loss. In an outdoor pool, the nocturnal heat excursion causes the loss of heat accumulated during the whole day and, consequently, a drastic lowering of the water temperature.
This is what does not allow you to easily use the pool for as long as you like, especially in the months of 'transition' like June or September (especially true for those with small children).
Having a lot of experience in the field, I noticed that among the customers there are several that do not take advantage of the pool as they should or could, due to the water too "cold" of pre-summer or post-summer periods. Or even because of a night a little 'more humid and cold than usual.
The summer isothermal coverage, from the experience of customers who use it, is the ideal solution to solve this problem and to make the most of the pool!
So it makes no sense to spend or spend a lot of money to buy the pool and then get lost in a glass of water not being able to take advantage of it even during the transition months!
That is, do not spend 1,000 / 2,000 euros more for an isothermal coverage that allows you to enjoy the pool to the full?
In fact, this coverage offers many advantages:
- energy saving
- lower consumption of chemicals
- almost total block of evaporation
- decrease of the necessary topping up
- lower costs and less time to manage and clean the pool
POOL WINTER COVERS
Winter covers are a necessary accessory so that the tank and its surfaces remain clean and tidy during the months of inactivity and protected from debris, insects, dirt and frost.
Leaving the pool uncovered during the entire period of inactivity means spending a lot of time and money cleaning the surfaces and replacing the water at the time of spring reopening.
Winter coverings must therefore be correctly chosen based on their characteristics and your specific needs.
If you want to deepen the subject you can read our article "Pool covers: what are they?" where you can find the various types available both for those holds and for those winter.
And as always, may the force be with you!
