Helping clients enjoy their pools longer in extended summer season

Preventing evaporation is one of the most cost-effective ways a homeowner can reduce unnecessary top-offs, chemistry adjustments, and heat loss.

Liquid pool covers

Liquid pool cover products are becoming increasingly popular as they provide a way for service professionals to help their clients extend their swim season. Liquid covers reduce water evaporation and conserve heat while still allowing the pool to remain open for swimming.

Recommending an easy-to-use liquid cover solution is one of the simplest methods for pool owners to save water, money, and energy. It is important for professionals to remind clients when the temperature outside is cooler than their pool water temperature (which is likely in the fall months), invariably steam will begin to rise off the surface of the water. When this happens, it is not just pool water evaporating into the atmosphere—it is also heat and, therefore, money the homeowner will need to spend to rebalance their water chemistry after adding more water to top off the pool.

In fact, pool owners, new and old, may not realize how expensive heat loss and evaporation can be. Preventing evaporation is one of the most cost-effective ways a homeowner can reduce unnecessary top-offs, chemistry adjustments, and heat loss.

Most industry professionals will agree, pool owners are willing to try these products after learning about the benefits they offer in terms of preventing water and heat loss. Some pool professionals even include the liquid cover with the sale of a heater to ensure customer satisfaction, because heating a pool—especially during the fall—can be expensive.
