What better way to make the most of your time than by going for a swim? As a leading nationwide facilities support partner, we offer a wide range of leisure facilities across the UK, including pool testing. As part of our services, we offer swimming pool covers and automatic pool cover installation for both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, providing a reliable and efficient solution that ensures the safety of both your team and customers.

Benefits of A Pool Cover

Whilst pool covers aren’t always a necessity, investing in an indoor pool cover provides numerous benefits. In addition to ensuring a safe environment for all to enjoy, expert pool cover installation reduces the need for regular swimming pool maintenance by stopping leaves and other debris from entering the water. As a result, less pool chemicals are required to clean it, saving you money (and time!)

Additionally, pool cover installation helps preserve heat, reducing the overall energy consumption of your swimming pool, all whilst helping to control indoor humidity levels. This prevents evaporation, which is crucial for protecting the interior of your swimming pool and stops mold and mildew growing, not only on the surface of the water, but also on the swimming pool cover.

Finally, it’s true that installing a pool cover can prolong the life of your equipment. This is because your swimming pool is less exposed to evaporation and debris, meaning that components such as the filter or swimming pool pump aren’t overworked. Over time, this can minimise to replacement costs.

Pool Cover Maintenance

Whilst pool cover installation ensures your swimming pool remains safe and efficient for all, it’s important to schedule regular maintenance to sustain optimal performance. This is because even though the total life expectancy of a pool cover can vary depending on its type, scheduled maintenance will ultimately help prevent unexpected pool closures and associated costs.

At JC Leisure, we regularly visit and assess a number of commercial swimming pools across the UK, providing reliable maintenance of swimming pool and pool covers such as Watergate School. But that’s not all. We operate in a vast range of sectors such as holiday parks, care, hospitality and spa and wellness centres, supporting all business types.

To keep your indoor swimming pool accessible year-round, why not enquire about our regular maintenance services? No matter the type of swimming pool you have, we can help! Contact our customer support team on 01376 513246 or complete our online contact form.

Swimming Pool Covers FAQs

Why Do Indoor Pools Have Covers?

Not only do indoor swimming pool covers help to retain heat, providing indoor pool cover energy savings and ensuring the swimming pool water remains a comfortable temperature, but they serve as a safety barrier, too. This is particularly true for indoor swimming pools in commercial settings where young children may be present.

Safety aside, indoor swimming pool covers are also used to prevent condensation to the wider pool area, reducing the risk of damage to the interior as well as the surrounding equipment such as the pool pump or filter, reducing maintenance costs.

Do You Really Need A Winter Pool Cover?

We highly recommend investing in a winter pool cover. Not only will a winter pool cover help to retain the warmth of your swimming pool, reducing the energy required to heat it, but it will enable the ongoing use of your swimming pool during the colder months.

Which Winter Pool Cover Is Best?

We provide a wide range of winter swimming pool covers, each offering different benefits. If you’re unsure which winter pool cover is best suited to your swimming pool and needs, contact our customer support team on 01376 513246 or complete our online contact form.

Can You Leave Pool Cover Off In Winter?

While you can leave a pool cover off in winter, we recommend taking advantage of your pool cover installation year-round to ensure your swimming pool remains in top condition.

How To Cover A Swimming Pool For Winter?

At JC Leisure Solutions, we provide professional swimming pool cover installation services to ensure the ongoing effectiveness of your swimming pool no matter the temperature outside. Speak to our team to find out more.

Is It Better To Keep A Pool Covered Or Uncovered?

Generally speaking, covering your swimming pool is more efficient than not. This is because covering your swimming pool improves safety, is more eco-friendly, and reduces the need for regular cleaning, saving both time and money.

What Type Of Pool Cover Should I Buy?

The type of pool cover you should buy depends on a wide range of factors including the size of your swimming pool. For further information about the type of pool cover you should buy, get in touch with our team who will be happy to advise.

What Is The Disadvantage Of Pool Cover?

When considering a pool cover, it’s important to be aware of their initial cost. Even though they can be expensive to buy and install, quality pool covers are considered a long-term investment that offer several long-term money-saving benefits.

Furthermore, for some, the process of covering and uncovering the swimming pool can be considered time consuming or inconvenient, but we believe the benefits of a pool cover outweigh these factors, ensuring indoor pool cover energy savings, cleanliness and, most importantly, safety.

Is It Better To Cover A Pool Or Leave It Open?

At JC Leisure, we believe it’s far better to cover a pool than leave it open to the elements even if your swimming pool is situated inside, particularly in terms of safety, cleanliness and maintenance. So, even though leaving it open will provide immediate access, it can negatively affect energy efficiency, safety and cleanliness, leading to increased maintenance costs and time.

What Can Grow On An Indoor Swimming Pool Cover?

Despite being in an indoor environment, it’s still possible for mold, algae, mildew and other bacteria to grow on your swimming pool cover. This is because these organisms thrive in moist environments and can produce a musty odor or make the cover slippery if not cleaned properly, leading to further health risks. That’s why, when not in use, it’s essential to store your indoor swimming pool cover in a clean, dry environment.
