Many people consider using pool covers
for their inground or above ground pool (or spa) as it increases the
value and return on your investment. When your pool cover is fitted, make sure the pool size is measured
properly and the cover cut in properly so there are no gaps. It is
common to make a pool cover up to 75 mm larger on each side so it forms a
lip around the entire edge. Gaps in the edging will reduce the overall
efficiency that the pool cover can offer.
When using the pool, make sure the pool
cover is stored away from sunlight and rolled up properly. The added
expense of a pool roller will not onlyhelp your pool blanket last
longer, but it also makes removal and refitting a lot easier.
Lastly make sure your chemical levels are
not allowed to go too high, as prolonged exposed to high chemical
levels will shorten the life of all pool covers. Chlorine levels should
not exceed 1.5 to 2.0 ppm for unstabilised pools and 3.0 ppm for
stabilised pools (source SPASA pool cover fact sheet,http://www.spasa.org.au/images/stories/SPASA/factsheets/2014facts/FS6.pdf)
. Also never super chlorinate with the pool cover on, leave the cover
off until level return to normal. Automatic chlorine dosers should also
be run at a reduced rate.
