Enhance your swimming experience and extend your pool season with our premium range of solar covers at The Pool Cleaners. Designed specifically for the UK climate, our solar covers offer numerous benefits that make them an essential addition to any pool owner.

Benefits of Using a Solar Cover

  • Heat Retention and Temperature Increase: Solar covers harness the sun’s energy to raise your pool’s temperature by up to 8°C, allowing for a more comfortable swim even on cooler days.

  • Reduced Evaporation: By acting as a barrier between the water surface and the atmosphere, our covers prevent up to 98% of water evaporation, conserving water and maintaining pool levels.

  • Energy and Cost Savings: With improved heat retention, reliance on external heating systems decreases, leading to significant energy savings and reduced utility bills.

  • Chemical Preservation: Minimizing evaporation also means fewer chemicals are lost, maintaining optimal water chemistry and reducing the frequency of chemical top-ups.

  • Debris Protection: Keep your pool cleaner for longer by preventing leaves, insects, and other debris from entering the water, reducing maintenance time and costs.

Price of a solar cover

Prices of our covers will obviously depend on the size of your swimming pool.  The most common sizes of pools in the UK are 10m x 5m or 11m x 4m.  As a rough guide to prices for our high quality solar covers, our cheapest ones start around £5 per square metre at the top of our list below and they get more expensive as you work down:
