🏊Best Pool Shades & Mats for 2020

Splashing in the pool in hot weather in the open air, which could be more pleasant. Today, such water procedures are becoming an integral part of the summer life of most summer residents. What accessories need to be selected for a home reservoir The editors of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" have prepared for you an overview of the best tents and bedding for swimming pools for 2020.

Swimming pool accessories

Professional, timely care and maintenance is essential for any bath. For this, it is proposed to purchase some accessories if they were not provided in the kit when purchasing or arranging the container. Such assistants can save time and money spent on frequent water changes and water purification with reagents.

Basic accessories:

• Stairs;
• Skimmer;
• Cleaning kit;
• Awning;
• Litter.

Stairs

The ladder will become an indispensable assistant in cases where the water tank has very high sides. It is also worth installing the structure in cases where an inflatable top is available in order to reduce friction in the area of ​​the inflatable ring when entering and exiting the pool.

Skimmer

A funnel-shaped device that connects to a filter pump and draws in debris from the surface of the water, which greatly facilitates cleaning.

Cleaning kit

Such a kit should include the following items:

• A brush with a telescopic handle, with its help, the walls are cleaned;
• A net for cleaning small debris from the water surface;
• Vacuum attachment for collecting dirt from the bottom of the container.

Awning

What you should pay attention to when choosing In fact, this is a device with the function of a lid, which should exclude the ingress of litter (leaves, fluff) into the tank. Keeps water clean and protects from cooling and prevents excessive evaporation of moisture in hot weather. When to install the cover on the water tank Expert advice:

• If the trees are close;
• If the bath will not be used for more than two days;
• Pool cleaning for the winter.

Since the installation of an awning with a cord fastening is a very laborious process, therefore it is a mistake to use it every day unless absolutely necessary. It is also a mistake to assume that such protection is effective against dirt and blooms, the main reason for which is the ingress of microorganisms into the water. The cover will not prevent the formation of organic contaminants.

Litter

Functionality: protects the container from damage. There may be branches, twigs, rocks or tree roots on the ground that could damage or scratch the tank. In addition, the mat will help prevent contamination, protect your feet from possible cuts, and level the area under the container. Some types of bedding can act as insulation material.

How to choose the right awning

It is better to purchase an awning from pool manufacturers.Firms that produce such structures, as a rule, also manufacture related equipment or collaborate with manufacturers of accessories. Pros of ordering a cover from manufacturers:

• The shape and size correspond, so they are created for a specific model;
• The product is covered by the company's warranty;
• The reservoir and bedspread will be made in the same color scheme;
• There is a company logo.

Measurements must be made before purchasing. The dimensions of the protective cover must be strictly maintained in accordance with the shape and size of the bath.
The ideal option would be to purchase two options for bedspreads: for the summer and winter periods. For the warm season, the cover should be lightweight, which will allow it to be installed and removed frequently. The most ideal option for summer is solar film, which is easy to wind and unwind. It is easy to clean, does not require attachment to the sides and dries completely within an hour. And for conservation for the winter period, a canvas made of tarpaulin is perfect.

Also, different types of bedspreads are purchased depending on where the bathhouse is located: indoors or outdoors. An open-air reservoir must be protected from sunlight, heat, wind, rain, frost. When the premises only need protection from dust, therefore, lightweight versions are suitable.

Buying a protective coating for a bath is not a problem if you study all the features and what options are available in advance. Then the questions: which company is the best case, how to choose, which one is better to buy, will disappear. Research of types of covers, models, price level in catalogs will give an idea of ​​what kind of accessory should be purchased.

Types of awnings

The most popular models on the market today are the Bestway and Intex brands. Bestway capes are made from the strongest polyethylene, and Intex uses vinyl fabric for production. Both are equipped with drawstrings and are suitable for any type of tanks, including metal pools.
The main parameter by which awnings are classified is material. The best manufacturers use:

• PVC;
• Laminated polypropylene;
• Two-layer air-puffy film.

Bumpy film covers are the best. They also carry names: floating or energy-saving blanket. The advantage of bubble wrap over other materials is ease of use. It does not need to be fixed on the sides and a person alone is able to cover a container of any size with such a cover. Thanks to bubbles, the film is fixed to the surface. Also better than any other material, such a heating blanket will keep you warm. The next advantage of the film is its durability, a guarantee of the service of such a cape for 5 seasons. The disadvantages of this option include a fairly high price compared to other types.

PVC is distinguished by the density of the fabric, it is a very durable material. As a rule, such a cover is difficult to pull on yourself due to its heavy weight. On average, PVC capes are not enough for more than 3 seasons. Among the PVC covers, there are budget options. PVC cloth requires a very long drying time.

Laminated propylene caps are the most short-lived (maximum 2 seasons), but their advantage is that the presented models are inexpensive and light in weight, which greatly simplifies operation.

PVC and propylene caps are securely attached to the sides of the container, unlike air film.

You can also find new items made of tarpaulin or soft plastic. But models made from such material are not in high demand. Tarpaulin is used to cover any containers. Such fabric is able to withstand a load of up to 100 kg. They are used mainly for the conservation of baths in the winter. Has a long service life (up to 50 years), subject to the rules of care.The disadvantages of tarpaulin include: difficult removal of dirt.

The color of the bedspread also matters. Under a transparent or silvery film, the water will quickly warm up. The black case protects the water from sunlight.

According to the field of application, they are divided into covers for covering frame, inflatable or stationary pools.

Recommendations and customer reviews allowed us to make a rating of quality bedspreads.
