The Winter Pool Cover Preferred By Most Pool Owners
Author : Craig Bellomy
Swimming pool safety covers provide pool safety for your family and the best way to close your pool during the winter months. These pool covers are available in mesh or solid vinyl fabrics. The most popular type is the mesh safety cover. The solid safety pool cover is made of vinyl and is more desirable in geographical areas that normally do not receive heavy snow loads. Both types of safety covers meet the same strength requirement and they are installed the same way. They use recessed brass concrete deck anchors that are permanently installed into the pool deck. Safety covers are stretched tight and locked down over the pool using adjustable straps, stainless steel buckles and springs that attach to the deck anchors. Safety pool covers provide a barrier of pool protection that can support hundreds of pounds and you can even walk across them.
The beneficial differences between the two safety cover types are from the fabric. Mesh safety covers block most of the sunlight that can cause algae concerns in the springtime. The mesh allows water to drain through, the larger debris, that causes most of spring clean up just blows away. However, small amounts of silt and dirt may pass through the mesh.
Solid safety pool covers block all the sunlight, which better eliminates algae. Solid vinyl pool safety covers collect water, snow and ice. When the snow and ice melts, it drains through a mesh panel constructed in the center of the cover. Solid covers keep more fine silt and dirt out of the pool than mesh safety covers. Solid vinyl safety covers can be made without any drain panels. If they have no drain panel, they will require a pool cover pump on top of the cover to pump water accumulation off automatically. Solid vinyl fabric will allow water puddles to accumulate on the surface of the cover if the straps are not adjusted properly to divert water toward the drain panel. A mesh safety cover eliminates this type of risk to children or pets who may unexpectedly be exposed to the shallow water accumulation on top of the cover. Having the cover straps adjusted properly and using an automatic cover pump will help to minimize the water accumulation.
When the cover is removed, the deck anchors will screw down to recess flush with the deck to prevent tripping or toe stubbing. You need to have a concrete deck at least three foot wide surrounding your pool to use the standard concrete deck anchors. There are different types of safety cover deck anchors available for wood decks, brick, pavers and earth.
You can use a swimming pool safety cover anytime of year. It takes only minutes to lock the cover over and protect your pool. If you go on vaction or your pool is unattended for a long period, you can have peace of mind using a safety cover in your absence. In-ground swimming pool owners prefer to use a safety cover compared to other winter pool cover choices because they are much faster and easier to install. They are also more pleasing to look at during the winter when the pool is closed.
