Solar Pool Cover Benefits
A pool cover reduces evaporation by up to 95 – 98%, meaning you would only need to replace 5% of the total lost water.
For example, for a medium pool:
- Without a cover: Annual top-ups cost ±R1,754.79
- With a cover: Annual cost reduces by on average 95%, so you’d pay only ±R87.74 per year for top-ups.
Not using a pool cover can cost between R900 – R3,000 per year in top-up water costs alone.
Installing a pool cover pays for itself in a short time, reducing water loss and cutting down expenses dramatically. If you’re already considering borehole drilling, this can eliminate your water costs entirely and can be the alternative to a pool cover and have considerable advantages in the long run.
Borehole Drilling Site Inspection
A site inspection is essential before drilling a borehole, as not all properties have viable groundwater. Factors like water table depth, rock formations, and recharge rates determine success. A hydrogeological survey assesses water availability and quality, preventing costly mistakes from drilling in unsuitable areas.
