Looking for a way to spend less time maintaining your pool and more time enjoying it with the family? A pool blanket might be the solution you’ve been searching for. At The Pool Outlet, we help families across NSW make the most of their pools, and a quality pool blanket is one of the smartest investments you can make.
Why Consider a Pool Blanket?
Think of a pool blanket as your pool’s best friend. It’s working hard even when you’re not using the pool, keeping your water warmer, cleaner, and ready for those spontaneous swimming sessions. Just like putting a lid on a pot keeps the heat in, a pool blanket maintains your pool’s warmth and protects it from the elements.
Six Game-Changing Benefits
1. Save Money on Running Costs
Your pool blanket starts paying for itself from day one. It reduces water loss through evaporation, meaning fewer top-ups with the garden hose. Even better, it helps maintain water temperature overnight, leading to significant savings on heating costs. Many of our customers report up to 75% better heat retention, and unheated pools can see temperature increases of up to 8°C just by using a blanket.
2. Less Time Cleaning, More Time Swimming
We all know the feeling – you’re ready for a swim, but there’s leaves and debris to clean up first. A pool blanket acts as a shield, keeping out leaves, twigs, and other garden waste. This means less time skimming and vacuuming, and more time enjoying your pool with the family.
3. Perfect Temperature, Every Time
There’s nothing worse than wanting a morning swim but finding the water too cold. A pool blanket helps maintain consistent water temperature, especially overnight. This means warmer morning swims and a longer swimming season – perfect for making the most of those early spring and late autumn days.
4. Protect Your Pool Equipment
Your pool equipment works hard, and a blanket helps it work smarter. By keeping debris out, you’ll prevent filter blockages and reduce strain on your pump. This means less wear and tear on your equipment and fewer maintenance calls – something every pool owner can appreciate.
5. Be Environment-Friendly
Using a pool blanket isn’t just good for your wallet – it’s great for the environment too. You’ll use less water through reduced evaporation, fewer chemicals thanks to better retention, and less energy for heating. It’s a simple way to make your pool more environmentally sustainable.
6. Added Safety Benefits
While a pool blanket should never replace proper pool fencing or supervision, a hard cover can provide an additional barrier of protection when your pool isn’t in use. This extra peace of mind is particularly valuable for families with young children or pets.
Why NSW Pool Owners Need a Pool Blanket
The NSW climate presents unique challenges for pool owners. Our warm summers and mild winters mean pools can be enjoyed almost year-round, but they also mean year-round maintenance. Sydney’s leafy suburbs and coastal areas bring additional challenges – from leaf litter to salt air – making pool protection even more important.
During summer, our intense UV exposure can lead to rapid chemical depletion and significant water evaporation. In fact, without a pool blanket, you could lose your entire pool’s volume in water every year through evaporation alone. Our high-quality covers reduce this water loss by up to 97%, a crucial benefit during water restrictions and drought periods.
