Hibernation covers

Pool covers are an essential element in keeping the water clean and safe, contributing to energy efficiency and safety. These covers can be of two main types: rigid and flexible, each with features that adapt to different user needs and preferences.

Rigid covers

Rigid covers are usually made from materials such as polycarbonate, aluminium or hard PVC. These offer superior protection against inclement weather and outdoor elements such as leaves, dust and other impurities. They are also very efficient in maintaining water temperature, making them an ideal choice for heated pools.

Rigid covers can also provide additional security, especially in environments where there are children or pets, as they are more resistant and can support moderate weights. Some have automatic systems that allow them to be easily opened and closed with a remote control, adding convenience to their robustness.

Flexible covers

Flexible covers are usually made of materials such as vinyl or waterproof and UV-resistant technical fabrics. They are lighter and easier to install, making them a cheaper option compared to rigid covers. Although they do not offer the same level of protection against accidents, they perfectly fulfill the function of keeping the pool clean and protecting the water from external dirt.

Flexible covers are also ideal for temperate climates, whose main function is to keep the water clean and reduce evaporation, but without the need for protection as robust as that offered by rigid covers. In addition, they can be rolled up, making them easier to use and store.

Advantages of pool covers

Both rigid and flexible covers offer multiple benefits, including:
– Reduction of evaporation: They help prevent water loss in the pool, especially in hot climates.
– Protection against impurities: They prevent leaves, dust and other elements from falling into the water, keeping it clean for longer.
– Energy savings: They conserve the heat of the water, reducing the need for heating in heated pools.
– Safety: In the case of rigid covers, they increase safety, preventing accidental falls into the pool.
