-
Save on Energy Costs
When utilising forms of heating such as gas heaters or heat pumps, swimming pools can be one of the highest consumers of energy in your home. Solar heating your pool produces zero greenhouse emissions and has the smallest impact on our environment, whilst reducing household energy.
Typical pools save 30% on heating costs with a solar pool cover.
-
Save on Pool Chemical Costs
Chlorine can evaporate at the rate of a litre an hour on a sunny day in an uncovered pool. With a solar pool cover you can prevent 35-60% of the chlorine you use from simply evaporating!
Imagine spending half what you currently do on pool chemicals every year.
-
Save Time on Pool Cleaning
Keeps Out Leaves, Twigs and Garden Debris. With a solar pool cover, countless hours fishing out debris from your pool are saved.
The more debris you can keep out of your pool water, the less you have to run your pump on high to vacuum, and the more you can save in energy costs.
-
Save on Water Costs
Did you know that in New Zealand a non-covered family size pool loses 30,000 litres of water from evaporation each year? Solar pool covers reduce water evaporation by 95%.
And that 95% reduction in water evaporation comes straight off your water bill.

Will my Solar Pool Cover slow down or stop water evaporating from my pool?
Remember learning about evaporation in your school science class? It's the process in which a liquid is changed into a vapor, and that's what happens with your pool water every day it isn't covered.
Do you know in New Zealand a non-covered family size pool loses 30,000lt water from evaporation every year? A solar pool cover reduces 95% of water evaporation.
Why do I need a Solar Pool Cover?
Covering a heated swimming pool at night reduces heat loss. That means warmer water, which is what anyone who has gone swimming in a chilly backyard pool can tell you is very important! For a swimming pool that relies on the sun for heat, covering it at night can still make it warm enough to swim in the next day.
Solar pool covers create an effect like that of a greenhouse during sunny days. They trap the sun's natural heat in the pool, and at the same time prevent evaporation and heat loss.
Will my Solar Pool Cover reduce my pool's use of Chlorine?
Absolutely.
The watery red eyes and sneezes are a dead giveaway: pool chemicals can cause reactions ranging from irritation to allergies and asthma.
3 litres of chlorine will evaporate in four hours on a hot day in an uncovered pool. That chlorine can last up to several weeks in a covered pool. Using a pool cover reduces a pool's chemical consumption by 35-60 percent.
Does a Solar Pool Cover also work for keeping leaves & garden debris out of my pool?
You betcha.
A pool without a cover ends up with dead insects, fallen leaves, dog bones and tennis balls in it. Spend your afternoons fishing for them with a net or you could use a pool cover and not be chasing down every leaf that lands in your pool.
