With the South African summer season roughly six weeks away, Designer Pool Covers is asking a simple question: is your pool summer ready?

Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa, 21st Aug 2026 — With the South African summer season roughly six weeks away, Designer Pool Covers is asking a simple question: is your pool summer ready? The company, which serves pool owners through branches in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, is encouraging homeowners to service their covers and check their equipment now, before the warmer months drive up pool usage. According to the company, an uncovered pool loses heat from its surface, requires more filtration and chemicals, and loses substantial water to evaporation — costs that a well-maintained cover can largely prevent. Designer Pool Covers recommends an annual cover service ahead of the summer season to protect that investment.

Designer Pool Covers designs, supplies and installs four cover systems for both new and existing pools: thermal blankets, pet and child safety covers, slatted automatic pool covers and automatic vinyl safety covers. The company’s PoolDeck system retracts neatly into a deck-mounted cassette, while the vinyl safety covers provide a firm, secure surface for families with children and pets. Regional teams in Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape provide on-site, face-to-face customer service, with quality construction and direct access to replacement parts through the company’s annual service programme.

The science behind the summer-readiness message is straightforward. Studies cited by the company show that a high-quality pool cover can reduce water loss due to evaporation by up to 95 percent. Beyond conserving water, covers trap heat at the pool’s surface, which lowers heating costs; they also keep leaves and debris out of the water, reducing the time, filtration and chemicals required to keep a pool clean. With high temperatures and strong sun across the country in summer, Designer Pool Covers says a correctly fitted and serviced cover is one of the simplest ways to keep a pool usable, affordable and welcoming all season.

“For pool owners across South Africa, the question of summer readiness starts long before the first hot day,” said Willem de Wet, regional manager at Designer Pool Covers. “An annual service ahead of the season ensures the cover, tracks, motors and seals are in working order, so the pool is ready when the family is.”

In practical terms, the company recommends that pool owners book their pool cover maintenance during spring, before peak-season demand. A service visit covers inspection, cleaning and replacement of worn parts — steps the company says prevent small problems from becoming expensive repairs mid-summer. Pool owners can book a service or request a quote through the Designer Pool Covers website, where the full range of thermal, safety and automatic options is detailed by product.
