VEVOR offers a wide selection of solar pool covers that extend swimming time, reduce heating costs, and maintain the water's pH balance. We offer both solar above ground pool covers and solar covers for in ground pools in a range of sizes, from small 12-foot rounds to large rectangular setups. VEVOR provides energy-efficient solutions backed by quality construction and reliable customer service, whether you're protecting a small backyard pool or managing a larger aquatic facility.
Are you tired of high heating costs and frequent chemical adjustments? Solar pool covers use sunlight to naturally warm your water while reducing debris buildup and evaporation. VEVOR designs solar pool covers that fit standard pool sizes, reduce maintenance time, and help lower energy consumption. This feature makes owning a pool more affordable and better for the environment.
Choosing solar pool covers with the right measurements and materials directly affects how well they heat and how long they last.
Right-sized materials ensure they capture the most heat and cover the water properly. For solar covers for in ground pools, 12 ft solar swimming pool covers work well for small family pools that are common in smaller yards, while 15 ft solar swimming pool covers work well for medium-sized pools that hold groups of 6 to 8 people. VEVOR's solar above-ground pool covers come with cutting lines and trimming guides so that you can make them fit your needs.
Coverage should extend 6 to 12 inches past the pool walls to allow for anchoring, but excessive overlap wastes material and makes it hard to handle. If your pool is an odd shape, like a kidney, oval, or free-form, start with the next size up and carefully trim it to fit. Think about whether you want a safety cover or a heating cover. Solar pool covers are primarily concerned with keeping the water at the right temperature, not safety, so you should never walk on them or use them as barriers.
A material's durability and thermal efficiency are based on its thickness (in mils, thousandths of an inch). Standard solar pool covers come in a range of thicknesses, from 8 mil for light covers to 16 mil for heavy-duty commercial use. An 8–10 mil cover is good for seasonal use in mild areas with little wind exposure. With proper care, it will last for 3–5 years. For people who keep their pools open year-round or live in areas with a lot of UV light, a 12 to 15 mil thickness offers the best durability, lasting 5 to 8 years.
Thicker covers can keep pool water 10–15°F warmer overnight by reducing heat loss by approximately 70–85%. For gas and electric systems, this means heating costs will decrease by 50-70%. Think about what you want to achieve first. Thinner, tighter bubble designs are better for controlling evaporation, while thicker materials with bigger air pockets are better for maximum heating.
The color of the cover has a big effect on how well solar energy is absorbed and transferred. Solar pool covers that are clear or blue let the sun's rays heat the water molecules directly, making them perfect for pools in cooler climates or in shady areas that need to be heated quickly. When these clear choices are in full sun during peak season, they raise the water temperature by up to about 10 to 15°F. Dark blue or black covers soak up sunlight at the top and then move heat down through the material.
VEVOR uses UV-resistant polyethylene to maintain color stability and material strength, even under prolonged sun exposure. The tiny air bubbles in above-ground pool solar covers act like thousands of tiny lenses, focusing sunlight and amplifying the heating effect beyond simple solar absorption. For best results, keep the covers with the bubble side down so they are in direct touch with water and the smooth side up so they can shed water and dirt.
Solar pool covers are worth the money when you know they will save you money and help the environment. Solar pool covers can reduce this main source of heat loss by limiting up to about 95% of evaporation. Every month, a typical 15 ft round above-ground pool can lose on the order of 1,000 to 1,500 gallons to evaporation.
Compare your current monthly heating bills with the costs of running a covered pool to see how much you can save. Most pool owners get their money back on their solar pool covers in just one season. In typical moderate sunlight conditions, pool water temperatures can rise by 8 to 12°F within 48 hours when using thermal bubble technology.
Whether solar pool covers last for years or need to be replaced often depends on how well they are made and how they are handled when not in use. Solar pool covers have to withstand harsh conditions, including UV rays, pool chemicals, and the physical stress of being put on and taken off. VEVOR makes covers from new polyethylene resins with UV inhibitors that prevent photodegradation and brittleness. Such protection is important to keep the covers flexible and tear-resistant through many seasons. Strong edges made with binding tape or heat-sealed seams keep covers from fraying where they connect to reels. Keep things away from rodents and sharp items in dry, shady places. When stored properly over the winter in climate-controlled areas, items last 30 to 40 percent longer than when stored outside, where temperature fluctuations cause them to expand and contract. With every purchase, VEVOR includes storage bags and maintenance instructions.
VEVOR offers a wide range of solar pool covers for all types and sizes of pools, from small above-ground to large in-ground. Solar pool covers help conserve energy by retaining heat, reducing water evaporation, and reducing chemical use. We make sustainable pool ownership possible for everyone by offering low prices and full support. Check out what we have today and start enjoying warmer water with lower operating costs throughout the swimming season.
