A lot of homeowners who enjoy having luxurious swimming pools adorning their backyards will often ask friends and neighbours whether they actually need to construct a pool cover in Melbourne. And these friends and neighbours will often supply homeowners with a number of responses, ranging from not being able to comment because they don’t personally own a pool, to proclaiming how much of a waste of money these structures are, to launching into a discussion about the benefits of a cover.

The truth of the situation, however, is that there is a number of reasons that suggest you really do need to install a pool cover in Melbourne, including:

Protection for your family from the sun and its harmful ultraviolet rays during the hot summer months.

Prevention of water and chemical evaporation, which saves you money in having to continually top these up and helps the environment.

Protection of your water from all sorts of potentially harmful debris, including leaf litter, pollen and bird droppings.

Now that you have realized that a pool cover is the way to go, however, it is important that you make the right choice for ensuring that the above protections and preventions are achieved. Use these tips to help you make the best choice:

Take into consideration the type of swimming pool (in-ground or above-ground) that you are trying to cover.

Ensure that the pool cover has an extensive warranty (around 2 years is considered to be a good deal). You should also familiarize yourself with what is and isn’t protected under this warranty.

Take into consideration the size of the swimming pool you are trying to cover. Instead of spanning the whole thing, some homeowners like to only cover one end. Make sure that you get your measurements right.

The next time you hear someone moaning about how they don’t want to construct a pool cover in Melbourne because it’s going to spoil their view or cost too much money, point out how this sort of protection could actually benefit them, both health and financially wise. If this isn’t enough to convince them that they really do need a cover, then nothing is going to. Likewise, if your swimming pool has been left open to the elements, you should have realized by now that you really do need a cover if you want to protect it from all kinds of damage.
