Ideal Bite: Under Cover

June 18, 2009 Trouble viewing this email? Read it online... POOL COVERS Under Cover Yeah, they're made from plastic, but if 10,000 Biters put covers on their pools this summer, we'll save enough water to fill 189 Olympic-size swimming pools. Need money for new ID papers? Pool covers can help - and you won't have to get out your magnifying glass to start saving time and money. Not-so-covert water savings. Covers reduce the amount of water lost to evaporation by up to 50%. Spotting the little ones. Covers help keep tykes and critters from accidentally falling in. Uniform debris control. Pool covers keep stuff out of the pool. Your own special heating agent. Solar pool covers attract and store heat from the sun's rays to help raise the water temp anywhere from 10-15 degrees and save you up to 70% on heating costs. Summer officially starts this weekend, but SF's warm weather comes notoriously late. That said, anyone having any (heated) pool parties they wanna invite the editorial team to? Solar Sphere Covers - carries conventional solar covers and smaller solar heat attracters that come in multiple shapes in case you don't wanna spring for a whole cover ($25-$429). Thermo-Tex Solar Covers - made from low-density polyethylene that's lightweight and easy to handle ($43-$299). SPP Solar Blankets - covers made from sealed air bubble material (sorry, you can't pop it like bubble wrap). Pick your pool shape and size and it'll give you three solar cover options in varying thicknesses ($25-$575). One in five American adults admits that they've peed in a pool.
