<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: They are essential for pool safety and economy
Drowning accounts for over 3,000 annual deaths and is the second leading cause of death among children under age 14. One of the first steps in pool safety is the use of a pool cover. Covers also keep your pool safe from the elements. By preventing debris from entering the water, cleaning time is shorter and up to 60 percent fewer chemicals will be required to balance the water. Keeping the pool covered at night will prevent heat from escaping, thereby lowering heating costs.
On the Other: They are cumbersome
Oftentimes one person alone cannot remove or replace a pool cover, so two or more people are required. Solar covers should be stored somewhere out of the sun, so a box may need to be built to accommodate it.
Bottom Line
Pool covers lower the cost of maintenance of outdoor pools. Water remains cleaner when protected from the elements, and warmer when heat is contained. A pool cover may also deter small children from jumping in unsupervised. When not in use, a pool should be covered.
