The downside of the vinyl version is both the cost and the weight, which is cumbersome when taking the cover off frequently. The reason evaporation has such an impact on pool operating cost is that evaporating water requires tremendous amounts of energy. Covering your pool when not in use is the single most effective way to reduce pool heating costs. Insulated vinyl covers are also available with a thin layer of flexible insulation sandwiched between two layers of vinyl. An alternative to a continuous sheet of pool covering is multiple floating disks which are deployed and removed disk by disk. They are custom designed to stop leaf debris from entering the pool but more importantly they also provide safety for animals and small children when designed and installed properly. The custom safety cover was invented in 1957 by Fred Meyer Jr. of Meyco Pool Covers when he found a dead animal in his pool. Today covers are made to meet ASTM safety barrier standards and have kept animals, people and even large vehicles out of the pool. For those folks who don't have a pool but are thinking about how nice it would be to have a beautiful swimming pool right outside their door, our crews will still be installing new pools in November.
