MN Pool Contractor >> Automatic Cover Benefits
A pool cover is an essential part of any inground swimming pool. Without a cover, there is significant heat loss that results in higher energy cost. Some of our Twin Cities customers choose an inexpensive manual cover, which is adequate for the job, but can be inconvenient to operate at times.
Manual covers require time and energy to put them on and remove them. An automatic cover, installed when you build your new pool or added later, solves all of those problems once and for all.
An Automatic Cover for Every Minnesota In-Ground Swimming Pool
Whether you’re planning a new swimming pool, or already own a pool, one of the most valuable accessories available for your backyard oasis is an automatic cover. From safety concerns, pool maintenance issues, or energy savings, this addition is something every pool owner should consider. The advantages and features are many:
- Safety First – Left unsupervised, an open swimming pool is an invitation to jump in. An automatic cover keeps your pool closed when it’s not in use. A key-secured switch puts you in charge of when the pool is available for use. With the cover closed, it’s strong enough to stand the weight of several people.
- Cleanliness – A covered pool is clean. Leaves, dirt, and wind-blown debris seem to get into the water like magic, leaving the mess as a clean-up chore for you. An automatic cover keeps dirt and debris out, so you spend more time having fun.
- Convenience – An automatic cover means that you don’t have to unfasten and drag a heavy cover off the pool before you can use it, or drag it back on when you’re ready to call it a day. You’ll use your pool more often and enjoy your time more.
- Cost Savings – A covered inground pool can save up to 70% of the heating cost. Not only does the heat fail to escape into the air, but the cover actually acts as a passive solar heater to heat the water whenever the sun shines. A cover helps keep your chemical costs down by limiting them from evaporating into the air.
- Extended Equipment Life – With reduced heat loss, the heater runs for shorter intervals, extending its life. The extended equipment life means greater savings.
- Extended Swimming Season – During the spring and fall seasons, the heat loss prevention means more days of swimming and enjoyment in our Minnesota climate.
- Environmental Savings – By using less water, natural gas, and electricity, you make this an effective environmental option.
- Affordable Prices – The price of an auto pool cover depends on many factors, including the size, shape, and features, plus the installation cost. As one of the largest pool supplies and equipment dealers in Minnesota, our volume-purchasing power allows us to offer discount prices to our customers.
