Input dialog for the swimming pool, Cover page; Example: Outdoor pool

A swimming pool cover reduces convection and evaporation losses but, at the same time, diminishes the utilization of radiation gains on the pool surface. Various covers are available that influence these effects differently.

For indoor pools, evaporation losses are relatively low due to the higher indoor humidity, and no convective losses occur because of the higher indoor temperature. Therefore, covers for indoor pools only make sense in special cases.

For structural reasons, many covers only partially cover the swimming pool. An effective swimming pool cover of 100% means that the pool is completely covered without any gaps or similar.

Set the Cover times by clicking the clock, specifying hours when the cover is in use (green field = covered). These times can be the same for all weekdays or defined separately for each day.
