Swimming centers are opening: the importance of pool heat retention covers

Swimming centers have been through a difficult period: Covid-19 has compromised the regular performance of activities and in some ways the future still seems to be uncertain, due to the introduction of the green pass and the fear of a new wave of infections. Notwithstanding this, the sector is trying to look ahead and to get ready for the hoped-for opening in September.

Pool covers and energy saving

Swimming center managers know well that managing costs might be very high, especially in terms of energy consumption and thermal dispersion, but there is a solution to reduce these costs with moderate investment and a return in less than one year: heat retention covers.

Advantages of heat retention covers for swimming centers

• 1. Reduction of water evaporation

Water evaporation is the main cause of heat loss in swimming pools, both indoor and outdoor. A heat retention cover blocks the evaporation of water, which results in less heat dispersion.

• 2. Reduction of heating costs

The use of heat retention covers enables to halve the use of the boiler. As a result, heating costs drop exponentially.

• 3. Reduced refilling

When you stop water evaporation, also the need for water refilling diminishes (by 35 to 60%).

• 4. Energy Saving

Stopping water evaporation also means reducing moisture, which lets you keep the suction and dehumidification systems off and save a considerable amount of energy. In general, the use of A.H.U. (Air Handling Unit) can be significantly reduced.

• 5. Less use of chemicals

When you have to refill less water, you can reduce the use of chemicals. Heat retention covers are estimated to make you spare between 35 and 60% in this sense.

• 6. More comfort for users

The positive effects deriving from heat retention covers also include the reduction of steam and relative humidity: costumers will appreciate a higher level of comfort.

Our heat retention covers, in addition to having all these advantages, are highly customizable for pools of any shape and size.

Have a great season start!
