In Egypt’s luxury real estate market, swimming pools have become a non-negotiable amenity in high-end compounds, resorts, and gated communities. But while pools are great for aesthetics and lifestyle, they also bring costs, maintenance, and risk. An overlooked solution that delivers massive returns on investment (ROI) for developers is a simple yet powerful addition: the automated pool cover. As Egypt’s only pool cover manufacturer, ElHejaz is working with prestigious developers across the country to integrate pool covers into their projects—not just for convenience, but for energy efficiency, safety compliance, and long-term value. Let’s break down the real, measurable ROI of pool covers—and why they’re becoming standard in smart luxury developments.

1. Save Big on Water and Electricity:

Water Evaporation: The Hidden Drain

Egypt’s hot climate accelerates pool water evaporation, causing both water loss and increased chemical use. Some studies show that:

• Uncovered pools can lose up to 30% of their water per month
• In hot regions like Egypt, this could mean 5,000–15,000 liters of water lost per pool annually

Electricity and Heating: Evaporation also means heat loss, forcing pumps and heaters to work harder—especially in winter or cooler zones like New Alamein.

Pool covers reduce:
• Energy use by up to 70%
• Water usage by up to 50%
• Chemical use by 35–60%

For developers managing dozens of pools across a compound, this means tens of thousands of Egyptian pounds saved annually per site.

2. Boost Safety Compliance and Reduce Liability:

A pool without a cover is a safety risk, especially in family-oriented compounds.

• Many insurers now offer reduced premiums for pools with certified safety covers
• Reduces risk of drowning accidents, especially involving children
• In some countries, pool covers are legally required for new residential builds

In Egypt, where legal frameworks for pool safety are evolving, early-adopting developers can future-proof their projects while protecting their residents.

3. Improve Aesthetics and Extend Usability:

Modern pool covers are automated, sleek, and discreet. They can:

• Keep the pool clean and visually polished when not in use
• Allow year-round usability by retaining heat and blocking dust
• Integrate with luxury smart home systems for remote operation

For luxury developers, this becomes a design asset, not a compromise.

4. Increase Property and Rental Value:

Buyers today are more eco-conscious and safety-aware. In competitive housing market allover Egypt:

• Covered pools have been shown to increase perceived property value by 5–8%
• Properties with pool covers rent faster and often command higher rates
• Developers offering covers as standard can differentiate their compounds in a crowded market

It’s a small investment with massive long-term yield—especially when done at the construction phase.
