Do Mesh Pool Covers Really Prevent Evaporation?
Mesh pool covers are one of the best investments you can make for your pool to preserve water. They reduce water evaporation by more than 90%, making them an ideal choice for those who live in areas with moderate to high temperatures and long hours of sunshine. Not only do they help conserve water, but they also filter out leaves, dirt, and debris from rainwater, reducing the need for chemicals and keeping the pool cleaner. In addition, mesh pool covers provide safety and peace of mind, as they are strong and durable enough to support up to 500 lbs. Safety covers are designed to prevent people, especially children and pets, from accidentally or intentionally falling into the pool. Unlike solar covers, which are made of translucent plastic with air bubbles and float on the surface of the water, safety covers are solid and keep debris and liquids out. They also block out sunlight, which can be beneficial for swimming pools with vinyl or fiberglass coating as it helps avoid fading and liming fiberglass. Backwashing is an effective way to clean the pool filter, but it also increases water consumption. To counter this, you should load the pool with more calcium than you think because the dilution will bring it down again. Additionally, all types of pools need LSI balancing throughout the winter, so the surface area doesn't matter in that regard. Rigid thermal pool covers are great at reducing evaporation and retaining heat in your pool. Commercial indoor pools can significantly benefit from a thermal cover to reduce evaporation loss, saving the pool dehumidification system an enormous amount of energy. Realistically, the pH at which it closes is the pH at which the water will be maintained, unless it is a gunite pool with a cementitious surface that is recorded.
