As a homeowner with a pool on your property, you know the amount of care and maintenance a pool requires. It might take some effort to keep your pool clean and healthy year long, but it’s worth it in the end. Your home’s pool is its best feature.
It’s where you spend quality family time and have get-togethers. The only time you find yourself not using your pool is during Australia’s fall and winter months. When fall and winter make an appearance, it’s time to say your goodbyes to your pool until spring and summer.
Winter pool covers are
an essential accessory to have during these colder months. Rather than allowing your pool to accumulate leaves, debris, and rubbish of all sorts, place a winter pool cover on it and keep it clean all season. Not only will doing so keep your pool happy, but it’ll keep you happy as well since you won’t have to worry about a dirty pool come spring.
Are you searching for winter pool covers in Australia? If so, you have a few options to choose from. Continue reading below for everything you need to know about pool covers and how to choose the right one for you!
400 Micron Pool Cover
Made here in Australia, the
400 Micron Pool Cover is 100% recyclable and will be welded across your pool. This makes rolling it up on the pool cover roller much easier. The 400 Micron Pool Cover is the thinner cover option.
400 Micron refers to the size of the thickness of the cover. The bigger the micron number, the thicker the cover is. Not only will this cover stop your pool’s water from evaporating, but it’ll also keep it warm for you.
The colour of the cover is translucent and allows for the sun to pass through the cover and reach the water. As the water warms, the heat is then trapped inside as the cover also acts as a barrier not allowing heat to exit. When the cover is installed, it’s shaped to make your pool precisely.
No water will be left exposed, which helps stop the evaporation process and helps keep the water temperature warm.
500 Micron Pool Cover
The
500 Micron Pool Cover is also 100% recyclable and made in Australia! It provides all of the same benefits of the 400 Micron Pool Cover with a larger micron number, meaning that the thickness of the cover is more than the 400. The main difference between the 500 Micron and 400 Micron pool covers is the micron number and the price.
This pool cover is a bit more expensive than the 400, but for good reason. When purchasing a new pool cover, the micron number gives you an idea of how thick the cover is. In general terms, the thicker the cover, the more durable it is and the longer it’ll last.
400 and 500 micron pool covers are both a good thickness, but the 500 is thicker than the 400. This is why you’ll pay more when choosing the 500 Micron Pool Cover.
Leaf and Debris Pool Cover
Wintertime calls for solar pool covers that allow the sun to heat the water through the cover, however, leaves and other debris also present a problem for your pool during the fall and winter months. The
Leaf and Debris Pool Cover is a mesh cover made from non-woven polypropylene material, which
differs from the micron covers.
This cover has a roped hem edge and comes with removable cleats. It also doesn’t require a pool cover roller to install or remove. The cover is lightweight, making installation a simple task for one person.
Because it’s a mesh cover, rainwater does pass through the mesh and enters your pool. Leaves and other debris, however, won’t be able to pass through the mesh. If you’re not as worried about the temperature of your pool water and are more so worried about the debris, then this is an excellent option for you!
Above Ground Pool Covers
Above ground pools also have covers available for the fall and winter months. When searching for a pool cover for an above ground pool, you need a cover that meets your pool’s exact specifications. You can custom design your own
above ground pool cover to save money!
Why spend money on a pool cover size that’s not right for your pool? Only spend money on what you need by custom designing it. Your above ground pool cover will keep your pool clean for as long as you have it covered!
Pool Cover Rollers
When purchasing certain types of pool covers for your in-ground pool, it’s important to keep in mind that you’ll need a
pool cover roller to aid you in the installation process. There are two options to choose from: mobile and stationary.
These rollers make removing your pool cover a simple process! They also prevent damages from occurring to the covers as well. No manual labour is required when using a pool cover roller and you can simply wheel it away when not in use.
You can also decide to go with a stationary roller, which stays right next to your pool at all times for easy access.
