Why Pool Cover Required? 75% of a swimming  pool's  heat loss is due to evaporation. A solar  cover  or an automatic slatted pool cover minimizes heat loss from evaporation by acting as a barrier between swimming  pool  water and the air. Specifically, you can reduce your swimming  pool  heating costs by up to 80% by using a solar  cover. Swimming pool Energy loss Swimming pools lose energy in a variety of ways, but evaporation is by far the largest source of energy loss. Evaporating water requires tremendous amounts of energy. A)      Outdoor Pools Energy Loss The evaporation rate from an outdoor pool varies depending on the pool's temperature, air temperature and humidity, and the wind speed at the pool surface. The higher the pool temperature and wind speed and the lower the humidity, the greater the evaporation rate. In windy areas, you can add a windbreak trees, shrubs, or a fence to reduce evaporation. The windbreak needs to be high enough and close enough to the p

Steps to remove algae in swimming pools 1. Brush the walls and floor of the swimming pool to remove as much of the algae as possible.     This will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes to kill and clear the algae bloom. 2. Ensure that the pH level is within the range of 7.2 - 7.6. This will ensure that any chlorine     added will work more efficiently - high pH levels in particular will impair the efficiency of     the chlorine doing its job.With the pool filter system running, add a chlorine based     swimming pool shock at the rate of 1.6 kg. per 1,00,000 litres of pool water dosage for     killing algae. The pool filter system should continue to run 24 hours a day. 3. If the condition of the swimming pool does not significantly improve after 12-24 hours of     filtering, add a second dose of chlorine pool shock at the increased rate. Repeat this process     until the algae has been eliminated. 4. Once the algae is dead it will turn a white or grayish color, and

Selecting the Correct Size Heater for Pool and Spa Many factors depend on how you heat your swimming pool – installation costs, how often you use your pool, size, location and climate.  This guide will show you how to calculate the minimum heating capacity for your pool based on your specific application and provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision on the best and most economical way to heat your pool. Step 1 Determine the Ideal Water Temperature How warm do you want the pool water and how fast do you want to raise the temperature? Most pool owners consider 28 degrees Celsius to be adequately comfortable. SPATA, International pool Standards validates that.   Step 2 Determine Average Ambient Temperatures Calculate the average temperature in your area during the coldest month you intend to use it. Important: Consider other weather conditions, including humidity, wind chill, and night temperatures. If you live in a dry climate, if wind speed

A pool filter should have a pressure of approximately 1-1.2 BAR. Anything over 1.2 BAR  is considered high pressure and can damage your pool equipment. To resolve the issue and bring the pressure back to normal, check for the following: Clogged filter. This is the most common issue when it comes to excessive pressure. Over time, the filter can get jammed up with fine debris, chemicals, and oils. Removing larger debris does not free the filter of these other materials. Use a filter cleaning products to restore the normal water flow. Clogged breather tube. Filters often have a tube designed to automatically expel air trapped at the top of the filter. If this tube becomes jammed, high pressure results. Check this tube and clear it if necessary. ( Some filters may not have this due to special designs) Suction air leak. A large suction leak may cause the pump to lose prime before the pressure builds up. But in the
