There is very little left for one of the most anticipated seasons of the year to arrive. The reason? Everything that goes with it… good weather, vacations, longer days, more time to enjoy family, friends, hobbies, and endless other reasons. We mean summer.
One of the quintessential summer activities is spending great time in the pool. It is a pity not to be able to enjoy it during the rest of the year, given how beneficial it is for health.
More than twenty years ago, Abrisol noticed this aspect and got down to work. Thanks to its R+D+i, it became, and continues to be, at the forefront in this sector, being the first Spanish manufacturer, and serving more than fifteen countries.
Pool covers can be found on the market in a wide variety of models such as high, low, fixed, telescopic, attached covers…, and within each of these there are also countless designs.
For the choice of the most suitable type of cover for each case, it is clear, you should have the advice of a specialist in the field. For the design, it is already a matter of taste, being something very personal.
What we want to go into in depth in this article is the advantages that pool covers provide.

To prevent it from being a jumble of information, we will structure it into several points. We will start with one of the most important aspects…
Safety
One of the most active areas of the house in the summer time is undoubtedly the pool. However, when there are children, there is a huge risk that they will accidentally fall into the water and without the presence of any adult. Precisely to avoid this, many of the covers that are marketed have a lockable door. This simple device prevents unauthorized access to the pool area. With which you gain enormous peace of mind.
Maintenance and savings
Outdoor pools that do not have a cover are exposed to many elements that dirty the water, such as dust, leaves from surrounding trees, insects, etc. In these cases, keeping the water in an optimal state requires greater spending on products, electricity for greater use of the treatment plant and, of course, more time dedicated to these extra care.

The use of a swimming pool cover represents a saving of 50% in the use of the treatment plant and in chemical products.
On the other hand, the materials used by some companies, such as Abrisol, for the manufacture of covers, allow the filtering of UVA rays, isolating at the same time from the outside temperature, thus producing a completely ecological conversion of heat. and natural. And this causes the interior temperature of the pool cover to increase between 8º and 10ºC.
It allows a double saving in water consumption since, on the one hand, evaporation is reduced, lengthening the time needed to fill it up. And on the other hand, it allows water to be conserved from one season to another, avoiding having to completely empty the pool and fill it again.
All the aspects indicated in this point make a positive contribution to the environment possible, through energy savings and responsible use of water.
Quality of life
Pool covers make it possible to enjoy the pool throughout the year, either to cure certain ailments for which hydrotherapy is recommended, or to practice swimming, or for the simple pleasure of feeling like a fish.

Swimming pool heating
If you already have a pool cover, or have decided to install it, you may want to finish off the task by heating it.
Currently there are various systems for this, but there are two that are the most installed.
One of these is heat pump devices. These are the most economical and effective to increase the temperature of the water. These types of systems are easy to install and the maintenance they have is minimal.
The other system is based on solar energy. These are more ecological than the previous ones, as well as economical. However, its installation is only recommended in areas where there is enough sun throughout the year since, otherwise, its performance would not reach 100% and, therefore, it would not be able to achieve its goal.
