Maximum energy savings with an insulating slatted cover

Save energy and keep your pool comfortably warm? A good slatted cover makes it possible! With a K-value of 2,74 W/m²K, a slatted cover can already save up to 50% on energy costs. If you opt for solar slats, this can increase to as much as 80%!

 

A large part of the heat loss in swimming pools is caused by evaporation. A good insulating cover reduces this considerably and retains the heat in the water. This means lower heating costs and more sustainable swimming pool management.

Solar Louvers: Extra Heat Gain

Solar slats capture sunlight and convert it into heat, naturally warming the water by up to 5 to 10 °C. This means less energy is needed to heat or maintain the pool temperature. Which can increase the total energy cost savings by up to 80%.

 

The convenience of an automatic pool cover also plays an important role. With one push of a button, you can close the pool immediately after swimming, so you don't lose unnecessary energy. This not only ensures a constant temperature, but also extra safety and less evaporation of water.

 

An insulating slatted cover is a necessary investment for every swimming pool owner. It provides significant energy savings, less evaporation and more comfort.
