If you own a swimming pool heater I’ll bet you’ve experienced something similar to this: one weekend in the early spring you go out to open your pool. You can just feel the warm comforting water surrounding you and you are really looking forward to that first swim of the season. But to your dismay you find a mess of leaves, seeds, pine needles, twigs and who knows what else crowding into every nook and cranny of your heater. All of these items absorb moisture and hold it next to your pool heater system. Worse yet, a thick coat of dust covers every surface. Instead of enjoying that long anticipated swim, you now have to clean all those nooks and crannies and remove all the debris. As you clean you notice that some of your pool heater fittings are corroded from all the moisture that absorbed into the leaves and trash. That requires a trip to the nearest pool store for new parts so you can make repairs. You may have to order in the parts and wait for them to arrive.
If this has happened to you, you may have addressed the problem by tying a plastic tarp around your heating system. You tied it down tight and looked at that ugly tarp all winter long, sure that in the spring you would remove it to find your pool heater nice and clean. But that’s not what happened. When you pulled off the tarp you found that it had been nibbled by critters and blasted by storm winds and now it had tiny holes all in it; tiny holes that let in moisture that, once inside, could not escape. Despite your best efforts, leaves and other debris still got inside and became soggy. Condensation formed inside at some point and it was trapped too, resulting in lots of corrosion on your heater fittings. In fact, that tarp might have created more problems than it solved. Time for more parts and more repairs.
You just know there has to be a better way, one that is effective and attractive to look at. And you’re right. It’s time you tried a pool heater cover.
Pool heater covers from Weather-Out are made from high quality durable vinyl that won’t tear or deteriorate in the sunlight. Unlike your tarp, they have a non-woven interior lining that will not retain moisture but will prevent condensation, mold, mildew and corrosion. They are fitted to your swimming pool heater to effectively keep out rain, snow and debris. The roomy fit allows for plenty of air circulation so that your pool heater system stays clean and dry all winter. It closes with a 1” Velcro strip so you can get a snug fit with no need to disconnect any piping. And they do all this while looking fabulous.
You may be wondering why you’ve never heard of a pool heater cover before or why your pool professional has never covered your swimming pool heater. The pool heater cover was developed by a pair of swimming pool owners who had been struggling to keep their pool heater systems clean and dry just like you. While the product has been around for a while, it is only now enjoying wide exposure.
When you consider all the damage that can occur to an unprotected or improperly protected swimming pool heater, it is easy to see that a reasonably priced pool heater cover would quickly pay for itself and actually save you money on cleaning and repairs. You can use the money you save for some cool pool toys and you can spend the time you save enjoying your pool with family and friends.
