Solar film for swimming pools is irreplaceable and very useful, as pools need to be maintained all year round. And the desire of pool owners to save money is perfectly understandable. Filling and heating the water, filtration costs, disinfection costs, electricity costs - these are just the first items on the list when trying to reduce financial costs.
Covering systems are one of the ways to make pool maintenance more cost effective, efficient and reliable at the same time. It is no secret that solar pool film is the most popular of all pool cover systems due to its affordability and ease of use.
What is it? Let's find out. Solar Cover is a dense polyethylene film, smooth and laminated on the outside and covered on the inside with a large number of round air chambers with a diameter of at least 12mm. The thickness of the polyethylene varies from 200 - 600 microns and strong seams reduce the likelihood of damage to the film during repeated rolling and unrolling.
The technology of the solar pool cover is very simple. The cover is placed on the surface of the water with the bubble side. UV stabilisers allow the film to be exposed to direct sunlight. This transfers heat to the air chambers and to the water. This maintains the temperature, saving on heating costs. At the same time, the solar cover prevents evaporation, reducing the cost of adding water. The solar cover also makes it difficult for various debris to get into the water, so less time and disinfectant is needed to maintain the pool. In indoor pools, the use of solar film is also justified by the fact that it reduces the cost of air drying and ventilation. And by eliminating increased humidity, the film prevents condensation and the development of mould and mildew, which extends the life of the indoor surface.
The average statistical indicators give an idea of the efficiency of using SHIELD solar film:
This cover is rolled up and unrolled using a special winder. Air chambers allow the film to stay on the water. For added reliability, the pool solar cover is secured with an elastic cord. No special conditions are required to maintain and store the solar film. At the end of the season, the cover should simply be washed in running water and dried. It is recommended to store the cover in a special case.
To determine the required dimensions of the cover, you must measure the pool at the outermost points, taking into account that the film must completely cover the water surface. In order to prolong the life of the solar cover, we recommend that it be removed during shock disinfection and that the film be removed during pool maintenance and that this cover be protected from the effects of high and low temperatures when not in use.
Buying SHIELD solar film from ModernPools is a great idea. Our specialists will be able to cut the film to size for your pool. We can also help you choose a roller, which can be stationary or mobile. As no cover can guarantee the safety of family members and pets in the event of an accidental fall into the pool, we recommend the addition of a quick-release safety fence.
Installation and removal: Solar film is easy to apply to the surface of the water and also easy to remove. For your convenience, you can use special reels that allow you to roll up the film quickly and neatly.
Cleaning and care: The cover should be cleaned regularly to remove accumulated dirt and dust. Simply rinse with water and use a mild detergent if necessary.
Storage: For winter or long term storage, the solar cover must be thoroughly dried and rolled up. It is best to store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Safety: It is important to remember that this cover is not designed to protect against falling into water. If you have children or pets, additional safety precautions must be taken.
A solar pool cover is a simple and effective way to keep your pool at a comfortable temperature and clean. It helps to conserve resources and reduce running costs, while providing convenience and comfort. By following a few simple rules, you can enjoy all the benefits for a long time.
