Automatic Pool Cover Energy Savings: The Real Numbers

Backed by third-party DOE and EPA data, Integra pool covers reduce heating costs by 50-70% and evaporation by 30-50%. Our engineered systems consistently perform at the highest efficiency range in the industry.

The Three Ways an Automatic Cover Saves Money

Integra automatic pool cover closed over residential pool — reducing evaporation by up to 90%
90%

Evaporation — 90% Reduction

Uncovered pools lose 1-2 inches of water per week through evaporation. Integra reduces this to a monthly consideration, significantly impacting the financial retention of thermal energy.

Heating Costs — 50-70% Reduction

Experience $400-$1,200 in annual savings for gas-heated pools in northern climates. Heat pump systems also benefit from significantly reduced operational cycles.

By blocking UV chlorine breakdown and preventing debris entry, owners see $280-$720 in annual chemical savings. Note that chemistry schedules must be adjusted for covered pools.

Total Ownership Math

An Integra pool cover isn't just a safety feature—it's a capital investment that pays for itself through operational cost reduction.
