5 Reasons a Pool Cover Is Worth the Hassle

A pool cover is the most effective way to cut evaporation. Nothing else comes close.

A standard solar cover can reduce evaporation by 90% or more. It also keeps water warmer at night, saving on heating costs.

Liquid pool covers work, but not nearly as well. A physical cover is night and day better.

Windbreaks like fencing or shrubs help only 10–20%. They are not a substitute for a cover.

Without a cover, you can lose an inch of water a week in extreme heat. That adds up fast on your water bill.
