Pool covers: indispensable for every season
A cover does much more than just keep leaves out. In summer, it helps keep your pool water at temperature, while in winter it protects against frost damage and pollution. By covering your pool properly, you limit the use of chemicals, save on water changes and extend the life of your installation.
There are different types of cover, each with a specific function. Which type you need depends on your pool, the season and your wishes in terms of comfort and maintenance.
Summer cover: warm water and less evaporation
Summer covers, often made of bubble wrap, provide an insulating layer on the water surface. During the day they retain solar heat, at night they limit cooling and evaporation. This keeps the water nice and warm, while using less energy with your heat pump.
They are lightweight, easy to roll up and available in sizes for round, rectangular and free-form pools.
Winter tarpaulins: robust protection during the cold months
A winter cover is stretched tightly over the pool and keeps leaves, rainwater, algae growth and dirt out. Often made of reinforced PVC and fitted with fastening eyelets and tension cords, this type of cover provides a sturdy shield against the winter elements.
For good water drainage, combine them with a submersible pump or winter floats - this will prevent water pockets from forming in the center of the tarp.
Universal or custom made?
Tarpaulins are available in standard sizes, but can also be made to measure. Especially with built-in pools or pools with special shapes, a customized cover is an added value. When making your choice, consider the shape, dimensions, fixing options and type of material.
At Pool.shop, you'll find everything you need: from basic bubble wrap to high-quality covers with reinforced edges and fixing kit.
More comfort with a roll-up system
Do you use your summer cover daily? Then a roll-up system is indispensable. You can roll up the cover in seconds, without dragging or messing. Available in fixed or mobile versions, manual or automatic - tailored to your type of pool.
