Use a Pool Cover : Debris entering the pool is one of the largest sources of contaminants (the other being the people who swim in it!). So when not in use, cover the pool with a pool blanket. Besides eliminating a lot of debris, there are many other benefits to a pool cover that make them a cost effective choice, including;
- reduces chemical usage, this is mandatory too! When the levels are too high, they can damage the pool cover.
- traps heat in winter, making the pool warmer by up to 8oC
- helps keep dust and debris out, which means you pool is cleaner for longer
- significantly reduces water evaporation
There are a number of differences in pool blankets, the biggest being the quality. But the basic rule of thumb is that the thinner the pool blanket, the shorter the lifespan. A pool blankets thickness is measured in microns and typically come in 400, 500 and 600 micron thicknesses. Always when installing, make sure the pool cover is installed bubble side down. Higher end pool blankets will also have some sort of thermal insulation.
You should also consider a pool roller system, as they are the easiest way to store and care for your pool blanket when not in use. A Pool roller will also come with a pool cover as well, so when not in use they are protected from damaging UV light. Also a pool roller will make it a lot easier to remove and place your pool blanket.
