Installing a pool safety cover is one of the easiest ways to protect your pool while ensuring the safety of your loved ones. Accidental drownings are all too common, an occurrence that happens on average 3,536 times every year, and safety covers are the key to preventing this tragedy. While safety is the number one reason we recommend pool safety covers, they also play an important role in preserving your pool year after year and making spring opening a breeze.

 

Pool safety covers can actually protect your pool by keeping debris from getting in your pool when not in use, making maintenance easier when the cover is removed. As well as blocking sunlight from reaching the pool water, helping to prevent algae growth. Pool safety covers can also a great energy-saving tool that can conserve water and reduce chemical consumption.

 

Types of Safety Covers

There are two types of pool safety covers, each with its own advantages: solid and mesh pool covers. Solid pool covers keep sunlight, water, debris, dirt, and winter leaves from entering the pool. Though the downside to solid pool covers is that water from rain or snowfall cannot drain and must be pumped off. At Pool Supply Unlimited, we carry the PoolTux solid safety cover, which features a patented Aquaduct drain that runs from one end of the cover to the other, eliminating water that would otherwise puddle on top of the cover.

 

Thanks to their tightly woven design, mesh pool covers allow water to pass through, eliminating the need for pumping water off the top of your pool cover. While a downside to mesh covers is that they can allow dirt and debris pass through with the water leaving you with a mess to clean up come springtime. Arctic Armor and Loop-Loc mesh safety covers are constructed with an extremely tightly woven mesh that allows water to pass through while filtering out debris for pool spring cleaning made easy. All safety pool covers come with pool cover anchors for easy setup and take-down.

 

There are a few major differences between pool safety covers and winter covers. For starters, winter covers offer pool protection from mainly the elements, and should not be relied on to keep children or pets out, since they cannot support concentrated weight like the tight fit of safety covers can. Winter pool covers also require more maintenance and supervision than safety covers.
