Swimming pool

A solar pool cover has a lot of advantages .

Save up to 50%
on pool heating costs!

Whether you have a heat pump or electric pool heater, whether your pool is above ground or in ground, large or small, you could save up to 50% on energy costs by using a solar pool cover.

A good investment

The more often you use the solar pool cover, the faster it pays for itself. Most of the time, a single pool season is all it takes.

And as a solar pool cover typically lasts four or five years, the benefits outweigh the cost. Here are a few:

  • Lower energy expenses
  • Less heat loss in cool weather or at night
  • Fewer chemicals (chlorine, salt, etc.) needed
  • Less water evaporation
  • More pleasant swimming thanks to more consistent water temperature

Got a solar pool cover?

Use it regularly this summer and enjoy all the benefits.

Did you know?
Using a solar pool cover on an 18-foot aboveground pool equipped with an electric pool heater can save more than $250 in a single summer!
