Save Money, Energy, and the Environment

Save Money, Energy, and the Environment with our Pool Covers

Have you ever thought about investing in a Thermal Pool Cover to cut down on energy expenses and prevent evaporation? It's a game-changer!

Swimming pools lose energy in various ways, but evaporation is the largest source of energy loss.

Evaporating water depletes tremendous amounts of energy. It only takes one Btu (British thermal unit) to raise one pound of water 1ºF, but each pound of 80ºF water that evaporates takes a whopping 1,048 Btu of heat out of the pool. Approximately 70% of energy loss is through evaporation. 

Other benefits to covering a swimming pool:

• Chemical consumption will also be reduced, providing approximately $5,000 - $7,000 savings annually. 
• Make up water will be reduced by 30% - 50%. 
• The building interior will experience less wear and tear. Fixtures, windowsills, paint, beams, and exposed metals will all last longer in a less corrosive environment.
• Heating bills will be lower, and HVAC equipment will 
  experience less strain.

"The pool has saved approximately $1,000 monthly by using fewer chemicals due to less evaporation; there is no more “motel smell” from chlorine when you walk in the front door, and the equipment and ventilation system operates more efficiently due to the environment being less corrosive.”

Ken Harfst, Webster City Assistant Manager

Covering a swimming pool is one of the very few opportunities you have to reduce your energy costs, stop destructive chloramine, and lower your pool's carbon footprint.

By investing and regularly using a pool cover, you actively participate in preserving our shared environment, reducing harmful chloramines and the carbon footprint of your pool, saving you thousands of dollars annually.

Chloramine is destructive, how do Thermal Pool Covers help?

• Chloramine is a corrosive off-gassing that negatively impacts the facility's air quality and is associated with swimmers’ asthma.
• The building envelope is also at risk of deterioration; condensation on walls, rusting of exposed metals, paint peeling, and failure of the air handling system are all signs of chloramine destruction.
• When we use a thermal pool cover, we prevent the chloramine from off-gassing, thus allowing the air handling to work correctly and the natatorium to dry out.

"Before the covers were installed, the chlorine use was excessive, and the entire pool area had condensation running down the walls and windows. Now the air unit runs efficiently, and the temp is constant and very comfortable. The ease of use and dependability is awesome.”
