Why Investing in a Pool Cover Makes Perfect Sense

Pool CoversJune 17, 2026•3 min read

If there is one accessory every pool owner in the Antelope Valley should consider, it's a high-quality pool cover. Between the high winds, the intense evaporation rate, and the dust, leaving a pool completely exposed year-round makes maintenance significantly harder and more expensive.

At AV Pool Pros, we install and service a variety of pool covers, from simple solar blankets to heavy-duty automated safety covers.

The Massive Benefits of a Pool Cover

1. Unmatched Safety

If you have children or pets, a solid safety cover or an automatic cover is an absolute necessity. These covers are anchored to the deck and can hold the weight of several adults, completely eliminating the risk of accidental drowning when the pool is not in use.

2. Stopping Evaporation Dead in its Tracks

The AV sun is relentless. An uncovered pool can lose hundreds of gallons of water a week to evaporation. A pool cover acts as a vapor barrier, reducing evaporation by up to 95%. In California, saving water isn't just good for your wallet; it's essential for the environment.

Exposed Pool Water Loss

3. Energy and Heat Retention

If you heat your pool, you are losing massive amounts of thermal energy overnight as the air cools down. A cover traps the heat in the water, drastically lowering your gas or electric heating bills. Even a basic solar cover can raise the water temperature by 10 degrees just using the sun's energy.

4. Keeping the Dirt Out

Wind storms are a way of life in the high desert. A cover keeps the dust, tumbleweeds, and leaves out of your water. This means your filter doesn't have to work as hard, you use fewer chemicals, and your weekly pool cleaning takes a fraction of the time.
