Swimming Pool Dome

I love the swimming pool dome! I just can’t tell you how cool I think these things are!

So what is it? It’s literally a clear, see-through dome that can be placed right over your above ground or inground pool or spa. It comes equipped with a flap door, and a couple of windows for ventilation. So what’s so great about that, you may wonder?

Well, let’s talk about it...

A pool dome will:

1. Keep all of the misc. falling debris out of your pool! - All of those leaves and twigs and “stuff” will just gently fall away off to the side, not to find itself cluttered in your pool.

2. This means that your swimming pool vacuums will be getting a lot less use! - Seriously, cleaning the pool is such a tedious task and anything that can be done to reduce that, all the better!

3. It will reduce the amount of evaporation of water from your pool which means less water waste and inevitably less chemical use. - Saving both you and the environment at the same time. What a deal!

4. It will help capture the sun’s heat and keep it in the pool, much like a greenhouse would do for plants. - This will help extend your swimming time, which is very important to those of us living in the Northern climates who only have a few brief months with our pools...sniff...sniff...

5. It will help keep that chilly wind off of your back! - You know what I mean...when you’re trying to get a good swim in, but the wind makes it a little too cool even though the sun is high in the sky? No need to worry about that with a nice toasty dome!

I just think the swimming pool dome is the greatest thing ever, and I really need to get one in the future.

I haven’t had much luck finding these items on the web, but they do sell them at Pools Inc. (opens new window). They have a pool dome to meet everyone’s need – literally all size round pools (they even have a 30 foot round one that would fit my pool) and oval pools, a swimming pool dome that would fit an inground pool and a swimming pool dome that would fit a spa. Let me know what you think of this site, and your experience purchasing products from them.

When I decide to get one of my own, I’ll let you know how successful it was!

Enjoy!
