In the past, pool covers were primarily about keeping debris out and retaining heat. Over time, they have evolved into sophisticated systems that provide not only maintenance benefits but also crucial safety and energy efficiency. Today, the range of pool covers available is vast, from manual options to high-tech automatic systems designed for convenience, security, and heat retention. Let’s explore the most popular types of pool covers: manual covers, automatic covers, and slatted covers.
Manual Pool Covers
Manual covers are cost-effective and simple to install. They offer basic protection, keeping your pool clean and reducing heat loss. While they require some manual effort to put on and remove, they provide an economical option for pool owners. A manual cover is simple yet effective, with easy-to-use mechanisms that make pool protection a breeze. These covers also come in a variety of colours to match your pool area and are backed by quality guarantees.
Key Benefits:
• Cost-effective
• Easy to install and operate
• Reduces heat loss and evaporation
Automatic Pool Covers
Automatic pool covers take convenience to the next level. They allow you to cover or uncover your pool at the push of a button. These systems, such as hydraulic safety covers, use PVC-reinforced fabric, operate through a key-operated switch, and glide smoothly across the pool for maximum ease. With automatic covers, you can save time, conserve energy, and significantly reduce pool maintenance needs.
Automatic covers not only protect your pool but also provide safety, ensuring that no one can access the pool without proper operation of the system. They are ideal if you have children or pets.
Key Benefits:
• Effortless operation with a push-button system
• Saves water and energy by reducing evaporation
• Adds a layer of safety for families with children and pets
Slatted Pool Covers
Slatted covers represent a blend of elegance and technology. These electrically operated covers feature high-quality slats that are both durable and energy-efficient. Solar slats, are particularly effective at insulating heat and improving energy efficiency and some slatted covers use technology to make them impact-resistant, UV-protected, and long-lasting. Additionally, these covers can be customised in sleek finishes like black & titanium, which add a stylish touch to your pool area.
One standout feature of slatted covers is a system which cleans the slats as they open and close, reducing maintenance efforts. For added security, a locking system automatically locks the cover in place when it’s closed, ensuring maximum safety.
Key Benefits:
• Impact-resistant and durable
• Insulates heat with solar slats
• Low maintenance with self-cleaning functionality
• Stylish finishes available in sleek designs
