Which Pool Cover Suits You Best?
You can save time and money by using the proper pool cover for your pool. When making your choice, you should always keep in mind your financial capabilities, aesthetic preferences, pool shape, and whether your pool is brand-new or an old one. One of these four kind of pool covers is best for you, depending on the sort of pool you have in your home.
Do you find it difficult to maintain the pool’s cleanliness during the fall and winter? Who wants to be outside in the chilly, rainy weather, dipping out garbage bags filled with foul, damp leaves while gripping a chilly metal pole? And God forbid you misstep while attempting to drag a 30 lb. load of chilly, wet leaves from the pool! That right there is what it means to be cold in the freezing winter! You shouldn’t be the one who has to deal with this situation! A few different types of pool covers exist that might make maintaining your pool during the fall and winter a pure breeze.
Automatic Swimming Pool Cover
The pool owner can easily and conveniently release the automatic pool covers by flipping a switch. Automatic pool covers offer the best defense for keeping kids and animals safe playing near the swimming pools. Although they are the priciest choice among all, you end up saving a lot of money in the long term. Because of the fact that the cover is able to stop heat loss, your heating costs won’t skyrocket. Additionally, it prevents particles from entering the pool, reducing the frequency with which you must run your filtration system and the amount of chemicals required to maintain a clean pool. Additionally, because less water evaporates, you won’t need to continuously topping off your pool. This way, you’ll be able to lower your water bill.
You have a variety of options for how to conceal your automated pool cover and the kind of tracks you want to utilize. Your pool deck can be installed with a low-profile aluminum lid that conceals the cover inside of it. A flat lid is an additional choice; it resembles an aluminum lid but is level with the pool deck. The flush deck lid completely encircles your pool and is fitted at the time the pool is built. Finally, there are lids made of stone and concrete. These are the most covert lids available; they are almost undetectable and are made to resemble your pool deck.
The kind of track you use affects how well-hidden your automated pool cover is as well. The three different types of track systems are Under Track System, Recessed Top Track System, and Deckmount System. Whether or not you have access to an automatic pool cover depends on the shape and size of your pool. Although it is possible to put automatic pool covers on shaped pools, rectangular pools are where they are most commonly employed. When a pool is being built with a specific shape, an automatic pool cover can be installed most easily.
Mesh Pool Cover with Safety
Without a doubt, the pool cover that consistently gives our clients the most satisfaction is a mesh safety cover. They are durable, offer a high level of safety, and keep the majority of debris out of the pool as well.
These covers must be measured and fitted by a professional because they are manufactured specifically to fit the swimming pool. Multiple levels, elevated walls or planters, or any other complexity, are not factors you should be concerned about. We’ve seen it all, so you can trust us that they can be accommodated easily. Each pool is thoroughly measured when we arrive to ensure a perfect fit. When it’s time to put the cover on, we drill into the deck and place flush-mount anchors that pop up. The cover is a great option for both in-season and out-of-season use because it can be quickly and easily removed and put back on with just two people. Using a sewn-in strap with spring tensioners, the cover is fastened to the anchors. As a result, it is very easy to stretch the pool cover exceedingly tightly around it, blocking any potential access points for debris or even people. Photos of this safety mesh cover with an elephant stepping out on it have even been circulating online, proving how durable it is and how long it will stay. They have even prevented cars from falling into the pool’s bottom and saved children, pets, and kittens from drowning in unsupervised pools.
It’s crucial to note that this cover can stretch so tightly over the pool that any leaves or other debris that fall on it can be blown off of the cover with a conventional yard blower because of the tight seal it creates around the perimeter of the pool. As a consequence of this, the cover maintains its aesthetic and decent look throughout the off-season. Rainwater seeps through the cover so that you won’t have to bother with a large puddle forming on top of the pool cover.
You should plan on pulling back a small section of the cover to visually inspect the pool and testing the water every two to four weeks. Swimming pools need to circulate for a brief period of time each day and periodically the water chemistry needs to be adjusted. This way, the pool owners will be given the best off-season experience possible out there.
Solar Pool Cover
This thin cover, which has air bubbles all over it, is also known as a bubble cover. It can raise the temperature of your pool by up to eight degrees by absorbing heat coming from the sun. The cover needs to be measured and cut to fit the shape of your pool before installation, after which it is ready for use. By doing this, you can lessen the quantity of dirt and other material that enters your pool. To make it simpler to put on and remove the pool cover, many pool owners use a cover roller with this type of cover. But it’s not required to use a cover roller. The weight of a little child cannot be supported by these coverings, which is a crucial point to be aware of. As a result, further safety measures must be taken to avoid a disastrous situation that may happen.
Water Bag Cover
The next sort of cover we’ll discuss offers a few of the advantages of the safety cover at a far lower price, but this doesn’t mean it provides quite the same pleasant experience.
Get a cover that is that size or bigger by measuring the swimming pool’s maximum length and width, adding 5′ to each, and then adding those measurements. It will be a sizable rectangle that cannot be trimmed or changed in any manner. For the purpose of holding the pool cover in place, long water tubes are filled with water and positioned around the edge of the pool. The surplus cover material can later be tucked or folded underneath the water bags for a cleaner and more decent installation. The material for these covers might be solid or mesh.
