Pool cover systems can range from $12,000 to $24,000. Pool cover requires a built in concrete housing and lid, the motor, cover and automation controls. Some cons of (hidden track) pool covers are the initial cost and that they can compromise the shape of the pool. Also, it looks pretty cool watching the immense pool cover unveil the inviting beauty of the swimming pool! Most homeowners just want to jump in the pool at no particular time and day without having to clean debris, balance, or wait for the pool to heat up. Another big reason people choose to include automatic pool covers is out sheer convenience and cool factor.

The less unwanted organics and debris in the pool the more efficiently your pool pump, filters, and chemicals will work. Covers also keep debris out of the pool and will let the pump and filters run more efficiently. Keeping the free chlorine in the pool not only makes your pool more efficient and eliminating algae and bacteria but it also reduces having to handle, add, or produce (saltwater pools) the chlorine needed. Chlorine also dissipates from the evaporation and sun rays. With today’s energy concerns water conservation is becoming more of a concern. When the pool cover is in use, it reduces water evaporation, use of less chlorine, and the need to heat the pool. Another big reason people go for an automatic pool cover is for the energy savings.
