Many homeowners across the United States enjoy the luxury of a pool on their residential properties.

However, a pool requires cleaning and maintenance and a fair degree of human intervention to ensure that it is perfect for swimming at all time. Bearing this in mind, homeowners with pools on their property are well served by considering the merits of retractable pool covers. The many reasons to consider installing a pool cover of the retractable kind are as detailed. Read further to arrive at a rather smart purchase decision.

Shade, Shade and More Shade

In states such as California and Florida that experience hot summers with the sun shining down at its magnificent best; private pools often become unsuitable for swimming when you need them most. It’s likely that your pool water becomes hot and scalding on a particularly warm day; which is rather frustrating when you are likely to enjoy the prospect of a swim to cool off. A retractable pool cover is the most logical solution for the problem as it provides shade that keeps your pool cool and suitable for swimming on the hottest of days. Apart from swimming, a pool cover is also likely to provide coverage, depending on size, for the general pool area; ensuring that you can enjoy a poolside lounge even on a warm sunny day.

Warm Pool for Winter Time

During the winters, homeowners with pools on their property are often frustrated by the chilly waters of the pool, which is unsuitable for swimming. A retractable pool cover, unlike a permanent pool cover, can be retracted to allow the sun to shine down on a pool, to quickly heat up the water, and make it suitable for swimming. It is easy to see how these covers have a reversible effect on your pool depending upon the time of the year, in turn ensuring that you can enjoy having a pool on your property during all seasons.

A Cleaner Pool

On a particularly windy day, your pool is likely to attract dust, fallen leaves and dead insects. This can be largely prevented by a pool cover of the retractable kind. Enjoy a pool that stays cleaner for longer by installing a pool cover of the retractable kind.

Water Conservation

A pool cover that ensures that your pool remains cleaner for longer is closely associated with water conservation. When you need to drain your pool less, it automatically means you are saving water; which at the moment is a crucial environmental need.

In conclusion, bearing in mind all the benefits of a retractable pool cover as detailed above, it is easy to arrive at a purchase decision that benefits you. Once you have arrived at a decision to install a pool cover of the retractable kind, contact the experts at Covers in Play Inc.
