The primary motive behind investing in a pool pump cover is to safeguard your equipment from the relentless assault of the weather. The combination of UV light, rain, and debris can spell disaster for exposed pool pumps, leading to premature wear and tear. Installing a pool pump cover acts as a protective barrier, significantly reducing the frequency of repairs or replacements, thus preserving your investment.
“By installing an Enclose outdoor aluminium pool pump cover you are safeguarding your investment – by covering the pump and equipment to protect it from debris and weather elements,” shares Burns. “Our Enclose pool pump covers are durable – being made from top grade New Zealand aluminium – and they’re weather-resistant.”
Your pool area is more than just a functional space; it's a carefully curated oasis of beauty. A pool pump cover plays a crucial role in maintaining this aesthetic appeal by discreetly concealing unsightly pipes and equipment. A well-designed cover seamlessly blends into the overall design of your outdoor space, enhancing its visual allure.
The beautifully staggered louvres on Enclose’s pump allow proper ventilation and the easily openable covers allow for regular pool and filter maintenance.
Safety is paramount, especially in households with children. A pool pump cover acts as a barrier to children and pets, and it also prevents unauthorised access that could lead to tampering with your pool equipment. Additionally, while not scientifically proven, some users report a reduction in noise pollution, contributing to a more serene outdoor environment.
Beyond its cosmetic benefits, a pool pump cover is a practical investment that extends the lifespan of your pool equipment. By shielding the pump from debris, the cover minimises the risk of clogging and inefficiencies, ultimately reducing the need for costly repairs. It's a wise financial decision that pays off in the long run.
Investing in a high-quality pool pump cover directly contributes to energy efficiency. By preventing debris from entering the pump and associated equipment, the cover ensures smooth operation, reducing strain on the system and extending its lifespan. It's a proactive measure that not only saves energy but also translates into long-term financial savings.
Proper ventilation is also important to the optimal running of your pool pump.
“Our pool pump covers have been designed with in-built ventilation so that they protect the pool pump while also allowing adequate airflow, ensuring the pump operates efficiently.”
Choosing the right materials for outdoor equipment is crucial, especially in the widely varying climates across the country. Enclose uses top-grade aluminium which is an ideal material for outdoor environments; it’s resistant to rust, warping, and twisting. Powder coating adds an extra layer of protection, making the cover low maintenance and durable in harsh New Zealand conditions, including coastal and sulphuric environments.
But while it’s important your pool pump cover stands up to the weather conditions, it also needs to look good. Enclose offers colour-matching powder coating to whatever colour you need, and custom sizes if your pump is outside of their regularly stocked sizes.
Enclose pool pump covers are designed for hassle-free maintenance. Operable doors and gas strut-assisted lids make routine pool maintenance easy, ensuring that the cover remains effective over time.
The pump covers come as an easily assembled kit set and can be easily ordered online and delivered across the country.
For hesitant pool owners, Burns recommends considering the long-term benefits. These include extending the lifespan of the pump, maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the pool area, keeping debris out, preventing tampering, and the flexibility of custom sizes and colours to match your unique outdoor space.
“As a pool owner myself, I understand the importance of investing in a high-quality pool pump cover, when investing in a high-quality pool,” shares Burns. “It serves to protect your pool equipment but also enhance your outdoor space, and investing in a high-quality New Zealand-made pool pump cover is a small price to pay to protect your pool investment and keep your pool oasis looking its very best.”
