Impact of Automatic Pool Covers on Water and Energy Consumption | Unibad

Water and Energy Management: A Key Concern for Pool Owners

Running a pool requires significant resources. From water evaporation to heating and filtration, these processes consume a lot of energy and water. Without proper covering:

– An uncovered pool can lose up to 5 mm of water per day, or around 150 liters per m² per month
(Source: ADEME, 2021)

– Heating can account for up to 70% of total energy usage in a pool
(Source: French Ministry of Ecological Transition, 2020)

– Filtration systems often run continuously, increasing the electricity consumption of pumps

Up to 70% Reduction in Water Loss

Unibad automatic pool covers drastically reduce evaporation by completely covering the water surface. According to a study by the French Federation of Pool Professionals (FPP):

– A suitable cover can reduce water evaporation by up to 70% (Source: FPP, 2022)

Real-life Example:

For a 50 m² pool, that’s a yearly water saving of around 10,000 liters — a significant reduction that actively contributes to water conservation.

Optimized Energy Consumption

The thermal slats (standard or solar) used in Unibad covers are designed to retain heat and reduce thermal loss:

– Up to 80% less heat loss thanks to isothermal covers (Source: CSTB, 2019)

– Heating needs reduced by 30% to 50%, depending on usage and climate conditions (Source: ADEME, 2021)

By maintaining water temperature, you reduce reliance on heating systems, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.

Less Filtration, Lower Energy Use

By limiting the amount of debris entering your pool, Unibad covers reduce the need for continuous filtration, resulting in:

– Lower electricity consumption by filtration pumps

– Reduced wear and tear on equipment

– Fewer maintenance costs

A Smart and Sustainable Investment

Unibad automatic pool covers offer a high-performance, eco-friendly solution to control both water and energy usage in your pool. With:

– Up to 70% water savings

– 30–50% reduction in heating costs

– Lower filtration and maintenance needs

…you gain maximum efficiency while minimizing your environmental impact.
