Floating covers can positively impact the overall cost of water management by offering several cost-saving benefits. They significantly reduce water evaporation, which conserves water and reduces the need for frequent refilling, thereby lowering water purchase and pumping costs.
Preventing contamination from debris and wildlife also decreases the need for extensive water treatment and filtration, saving on chemical and operational expenses. Floating covers also reduce the growth of algae by blocking sunlight, reducing the costs associated with algae control and chemical treatments. Floating covers also maintain stable water temperatures, enhancing the efficiency of heating or cooling systems and saving energy costs.
