Pool Covers: Vinyl vs Automatic – Comparisons
September 8, 2023Which Type of Swimming Pool Cover Best Fits Your Needs?
Owning a swimming pool is a major investment in time and money, and many pool owners consider different ways to protect their pool. One way includes installing a pool cover to protect their investment in the long run. When that time comes, one of the primary decisions they face is the choice between an automatic pool cover and a vinyl pool cover.
When it comes to making a choice between an automatic or a vinyl pool cover, it will ultimately depend on your specific needs. Automatic covers are convenient and offer excellent safety by covering the pool with a sturdy material at the push of a button. On the other hand, vinyl covers are more budget-friendly while still providing a barrier against debris and evaporation. Different climates, maintenance requirements, and long-term costs are also important factors in determining the best choice for your situation.

Swimming Pool Heater/Chiller Units: What You Need to Know
April 18, 2023What is a Swimming Pool Heater/Chiller Unit?
A swimming pool heater/chiller unit is a device that uses a heat exchanger to regulate the temperature of the water in a swimming pool, either heating or cooling it depending on the current need. It heats the pool water for comfortable swimming in cooler weather or cools the water during hot summer months. These units work by transferring heat energy from the air or the water into the pool water, or by the use of internal cooling fan units that chill the pool water as it circulates through the pump, depending on whether the heater/chiller is being used for heating or cooling.
Heat pump units and pool fan chillers are often used by pool owners for the same purposes, although such standalone devices can only warm the water, or cool it— not both. In regions where the seasonal air temperature runs consistently either cold or hot, such single-purpose units are adequate. But a combination heater/chiller unit is ideal for those who live in regions where the temperature fluctuates widely throughout the year.
