Why Use a Solar Cover in the Fall?
When cooler weather arrives, many pool owners think it’s time to stop using their solar cover. But in reality, fall is one of the best times to keep it on your pool.
Keep the Heat In: Even as air temperatures drop, sunny fall days can still help warm your pool. A solar cover traps that heat and prevents it from escaping overnight, keeping the water comfortable longer.
Reduce Debris: With leaves and acorns falling, a solar cover acts as a barrier to keep debris out of your pool. That means less time skimming and vacuuming, and a cleaner pool when you’re ready to close.
Cut Down on Water & Chemical Loss: Solar covers limit evaporation, which not only saves water but also helps maintain your pool’s chemical balance. That’s especially important in fall, when you’re preparing your pool for closing.
Save on Energy Costs: By reducing heat loss and evaporation, a solar cover lowers the need to run your heater or add as many chemicals, saving money right before the off-season.
