Pool Covers Central Coast and Pool Cover Roller Central Coast

Extending the lifespan of your Solar Pool Cover involves two key actions. First, it’s essential to arrange for a professional assessment of your pool water at least monthly. They’ll ensure that your pool’s chlorine content remains within the ideal 2-3 ppm (parts per million of water). Your local pool shop or maintenance provider should maintain records of your pool’s chemical levels, as these can prove valuable for warranty claims should an unlikely cover issue arise.

Next, after removing the cover from the pool – and if you use a pool cover roller system – just lay the sun cover on the rolled material. If there’s no roller, ensure the cover remains in full shade when off the pool. The material is highly heat-conductive, so direct sunlight can lead to melting without the cooling water effect. Prolonged exposure to heat also adversely impacts the material’s composition, significantly influencing its response to chlorine degradation.

A pool cover is a deterrent against ducks, effectively blocking their access to the water. The concept revolves around disrupting the ducks’ established behaviour patterns. Given that your pool is typically transparent, ducks can see the water’s contents, allowing them to gauge the presence of potential threats. In most cases, pool fences also act as barriers against predators. Additionally, some pools feature vegetation like grass or plants, offering sustenance and a safe spot. For ducks, your collection becomes an enticing haven for a swim, a quick meal, and inevitable relief.

All pool covers discourage ducks from entering the water, yet the extent of their effectiveness hinges on the cover type chosen. The mechanism is simple: the body denies ducks what they seek most – access to the water. By concealing the water’s surface, swimming or bathing becomes impossible for them. Although applying a cover won’t immediately dissuade ducks, they’ll realise access is denied over time and will seek alternatives. The misconception is trying to shoo ducks away using floating objects or hanging items above the waterline, which works briefly until the ducks perceive no threat. The ultimate and enduring solution to deter ducks lies in denying them water access!

While having a cover does help keep the ducks out, it’s not something we would ever recommend as any safety measure for your family or pets. You must have a pool fence installed in Australia.

Certainly not! The material used for leaf and debris covers is notably lighter than bubble solar blankets, eliminating the need for a roller to facilitate rolling. Nonetheless, we have accommodated requests from customers who wanted a roller added to their leaf and debris cover. The outcome was highly satisfactory for the customer.

If you want to save money on energy, heating costs and water, having a pool cover is the most effective way to do this. Saving can be significant and reduce the cost of expensive pool chemicals, which aren’t being rapidly evaporated – which is also great for the environment. Many people do not realise how much evaporation and chemical wastage cost them until they have a cover installed and rarely top up chemicals comparatively.

Pool covers absorb sunlight and have a marked effect on pool temperature! An uncovered domestic pool loses heat rapidly, so even with economical pool heating options, running costs will still be much higher.

The Climate Care Certification Program has pool cover certification guidelines that we can help you understand and consider when you make your next purchase. Their standards ensure that a product is fit to meet Australia’s warm climate, ensure sustainability, and help you reduce costs associated with having a pool.
