What is a bubble cover used for

It retains heat

The bubble cover is famous for this benefit. Its bubbles, in contact with the water, function as an insulator by retaining heat. Thus, using a bubble cover daily allows you to keep the heat, even at night when outside temperatures drop.

For heated pools, a bubble cover can significantly reduce energy costs by retaining heat. This allows the heating system to run less, which saves energy and reduces operating costs. By maintaining the water’s heat, a bubble cover can extend the swimming season by keeping the water at a pleasant temperature longer, especially in spring and fall.

It reduces water evaporation

Water evaporation from a pool during summer is the main cause of water loss. Installing a bubble cover creates a physical barrier that prevents direct evaporation of water in contact with air. This benefit makes the bubble cover economical and environmentally friendly.

Natural evaporation in contact with air leads to a decrease in chemicals and often a water imbalance. By preserving the water, you reduce the amount of chemicals needed for its balance and therefore for proper water maintenance.

It protects from debris

The cover protects the pool water from leaves, insects, dust and other outdoor waste. It helps maintain water quality and your filtration system. Indeed, thanks to this protection, you reduce backwashing and cleaning of skimmers and the pre-filter basket of your filtration.

A bubble cover is a very valuable accessory for pool owners, contributing to water and energy conservation, maintaining pool cleanliness, and improved overall pool management.
