There are a number of options available to you when choosing a cover for your pool. Depending on whether you have an indoor or outdoor pool and what budget you have will help determine your choice. Solar pool covers harness the energy of the sun to raise the temperature of your pool water. In some circumstances the temperature gain can be more than 10 degrees which in some cases can extend your swimming season by up to six weeks.
