Swimming Pool Covers

Swimming Pool Covers
There are two main reasons to invest in a cover for your pool: A cover can reduce your overall pool maintenance cost, including heating and chemical use, and it could prevent a serious accident. Not all pool covers do both, but there is enough variety out there to find the cover that best suits your needs. Or it may make sense to get two covers.

Safety Covers
Our safety cover meets the requirements in ASTM F1346-91 (1996). ASTM standards require that a cover will be able to support the weight of a small child if the child should walk on the cover. There are some covers that let your drain standing water so that accumulation from rain or other sources does not become a hazard. These types of cover are made of a tough mesh material and a re-anchored to the pool deck with stainless-steel hardware. This is the type of cover to use to cover the pool in the off season. A good cover can enhance the enjoyment of a pool, it makes opening the pool a lot easier and less expensive. When your pool is closed you can still appreciate the environment that the pool has helped to create. And you have assurances that when you do leave your pool unattended for a significant amount of time, it is secured.

Winter Covers
There are two main reasons to invest in a cover for your pool: A cover can reduce your overall pool maintenance cost, including heating and chemical use, and it could prevent a serious accident. Not all pool covers do both, but there is enough variety out there to find the cover that best suits your needs. Or it may make sense to get two covers. Water-Bag Covers are solid covers which are typically held down on in ground swimming pools with water bags around the edge.  This type of cover is also used on above ground swimming pools, using a winch/rope combination to hold the winter cover down. An inflatable air pillow (two on larger pools) should be used underneath a solid cover making it easier to remove sticks and leaves.

Solar Covers
Solar Covers raise the pool water temperature by absorbing sunlight during the day (as much as 15 degrees!) and retaining the heat at night. Retains the heat put in by your gas pool heater, electric pool heater or roof mounted solar heater, savings hundreds of dollars per year in pool heating costs!. Savings also come from a reduction in water evaporation and chemical evaporation. Solar pool cover material is highly resistant to UV rays; extremely resistant to puncture.
