Do solar covers save on water evaporation?

Yes, solar covers help reduce water evaporation in swimming pools. When properly placed on the pool's surface, solar covers create a barrier that significantly reduces the amount of water that evaporates. By blocking direct contact between the pool water and the air, solar covers minimize evaporation and conserve water. They act as insulators, retaining heat and preventing water loss due to evaporation caused by wind or high temperatures. Additionally, solar covers also help to maintain the pool's chemical balance by reducing the need for additional chemicals. So, by using a solar cover on your pool, you can save water, reduce the need for refilling, and lower the cost of chemicals needed to maintain the pool's water quality.
