Yes, there are limitations to the use of floating covers. The initial cost for high-quality materials and installation can be significant, which may be a barrier for some users. Regular maintenance is required to ensure effectiveness and longevity, including inspections, cleaning, and repairs.
Extreme weather conditions, such as strong winds, heavy snowfall, or severe storms, can damage covers or cause them to become dislodged, necessitating robust anchoring systems. Customization for irregularly shaped or large water bodies can complicate installation and increase costs. Floating covers can also hinder access to the water surface for maintenance and operational tasks, requiring special provisions.
