As pool season ends and cooler temperatures approach, protecting your commercial pool is always recommended for the off-season. Pool covers aren’t just about keeping leaves and debris out. They protect your investment, lower maintenance costs, and can even make your facility safer and more eco-friendly. In this blog, we will explore the top reasons why every commercial pool should be covered for the off-season.

Save Big on Utilities
Covering your pool can help you save on electricity and water when your pool is not in use during the off-season. Covering your pool significantly lowers energy costs by eliminating the need to run your pool pumps. Since your pool pumps aren’t running, you won’t need to add water to your pool during the off season. Reduced water and electric bills mean reduced energy consumption, which is also good for the environment!
Save Big on Maintenance Costs
A properly fitted pool cover reduces the amount of maintenance required during the off-season. When your pool is covered, your pool company may only need to come out twice a month to handle winter maintenance responsibilities. When your pool is uncovered, weekly service is needed, which is more costly in both labor and chemical expenses. A cover can also prevent contaminants from entering the water, minimizing the need for extra expenses like stain treatment.
Safety Benefits/Reduce Accidental Drowning
A securely covered pool significantly reduces the risk of accidental drowning and unauthorized access during the off-season. When properly installed, a safety cover creates a strong barrier that can support weight and prevent anyone from falling in.
Many insurance providers recognize this added layer of safety and offer premium discounts for pools with safety covers. Safety covers also provide pool owners with greater peace of mind.
Extend the Life of Your Pool Surface
One of the biggest threats to your pool surface during the off-season is staining from organic debris and algae growth. Leaves, twigs, nuts, and other material that settle to the bottom of an uncovered pool can stain the plaster, leading to expensive acid washes or even resurfacing. A properly fitted pool cover prevents debris from entering, reducing the risk of stains or surface damage, as well as algae growth, thereby extending the life of your pool’s surface.
