Plastica Blue 400 Solar Cover

Description

The Plastica Blue 400 solar cover is a great budget solar cover option for any pool. This 400-micron pool cover will reduce pool debris such as leaves, dirt, insects and bird droppings. This reduces nutrients for algae and bacteria growth. When the pool is covered these contaminants will be kept out of the water, greatly improving the quality and appearance of the water. A Plastica solar cover will greatly reduce your CO2 footprint. It also conserves water and, at the end of its life, a Plastica solar cover is 100% recyclable.

Outdoor swimming pools absorb up to 85% of direct solar energy from the water’s surface. However, when not in direct sunlight, pools lose energy and warmth in cooler air. A solar pool cover optimizes solar energy absorption and conserves heat by sealing it in the water. It can raise the temperature of a pool as much as 20° Farenheit within a week. According to the Energy Star organization, covering a pool when it is not being used is the most effective way to save on heating costs.

This Plastica Blue 400 solar cover will typically pay for itself in less than a year. So if you’re looking for a budget option to cover your pool don’t look any further.

Evaporation Prevention:

Covering your pool when not in use reduces water loss through evaporation, by working as a barrier. Evaporation is responsible for 70% of the heat loss from a pool due to the evaporation process’s high energy requirement. To heat one gram of water 1°C it requires 1 calorie of energy as the same gram changes phase and evaporates 540 calories are consumed resulting in heat loss in the swimming pool. By simply covering the pool with the material evaporation is reduced by over 98% resulting in lower water consumption and lower heating bills.
