Introduction
Summer is here and with it comes days of sun, fun and, of course, the long-awaited pool season. At General Elevadores we understand that the pool, whether your own or a communal pool, is one of the perfect places to create beautiful summer memories with your family and friends. However, we are also aware that more seasonal use means more maintenance.
That is why we create solutions to help you take care of your pool, such as our rigid pool covers. Why is it important to have a pool cover? In this article we give you several reasons.
Safety and protection:
Pool covers are designed to completely cover the surface of the water when the pool is not in use; they can even support the weight of a person who momentarily steps on the cover by mistake. This prevents small children and pets from accidentally entering the water without adult supervision.
Cost and energy savings:
A full pool exposed to the sun for months at a time leads to an enormous loss of water through evaporation. This means more water replenishment with electric pumps and, therefore, more energy expenditure. As the water is also mixed with chemicals (chlorine, alkalinity compounds and pH regulators) to maintain its hygiene and balance, you also face increased evaporation of these.
If you also want to take a dip in a heated pool in winter, the cover helps to maintain the pool temperature and reduce heat loss, so less energy is wasted to heat the water on those cool days.
Simplified maintenance:
By covering the pool, you prevent the entry of debris such as leaves, branches, insects and dust. This means fewer times to clean the filters, the water circulation system and the bottom of the pool. A real saving in cleaning products, labour and the most valuable thing: time.
Durability and longer life for your pool:
In the end, the reduced exposure to the sun and the elements that is achieved with a cover adds to the useful life of the pool’s components. And at General Elevadores, we want your pool to continue creating beautiful summer memories with your loved ones for many years to come.
That is why we want to help you: we have a range of rigid covers, both automatic and manual. Shutter type, with an aluminium roller tube and slats that guarantee high buoyancy. Designed and installed with maximum safety and quality, we comply with the NF P 90-308 standard. And for even greater convenience, the automatic covers include a remote control.
