Iron Plate Pull Handle Hardware

Since 70% of all heat loss from a swimming pool is evaporative and convective a simple vapor barrier with an added  value such as a pool cover can cut almost all of these losses.


Technically, all you really need is a large sheet of plastic. Plastic meets the requirement of being a vapor barrier. But a large sheet of plastic that you get from the lumber store is probably not your best choice. It will be very difficult to handle and store, it tears easily, and sunlight will deteriorate it rapidly. You can use it, but it will be very inconvenient and will only last 1 to 2 seasons max.


There are a number of manufacturers that produce covers designed specifically for swimming pools. They can be made of different materials, such as UV stabilized polyethylene, polypropylene, or vinyl. They can be transparent or opaque. They can be light colored or dark colored.


One of the lowest cost covers made specifically for swimming pools is the bubble cover (some call them solar covers). They are similar to bubble packing material except that they use a thicker grade of plastic and have UV inhibitors, etc.
Vinyl covers are a heavier material and have a longer life expectancy. You can also get insulated vinyl covers with a thin layer of flexible insulation sandwiched between two layers of vinyl.
Outdoor pools gain heat from the sun, absorbing 75-85% of the solar energy striking the pool surface. This is an important contribution to the pool heating needs.


So when considering a pool cover, note that a pool cover will also decrease the solar gain contribution to the pool to some extent, depending on the type of pool cover used. A transparent bubble cover may reduce pool solar energy absorption by 5-15%, and a completely opaque cover by 20-40%.
