SWIMMING POOL COVERS
AUTOMATIC POOL COVERS
Automatic pool covers are the ultimate in year-round safety and convenience for inground swimming pools. There are many reasons to consider an automatic cover but none more important than the safety of your loved ones and pets.
Here are just a few reasons we love automatic pool covers:
- SAFETY: Once your automatic pool cover is closed, the pool becomes completely inaccessible to small children and pets without the passcode. This represents the ultimate in peace of mind for any pool owner.
- EFFICIENCY: An automatic pool cover minimizes evaporation, which not only traps heat in your pool, but also maximizes the longevity of your chlorine and pool chemicals.
- SURFACE PROTECTION: Over time, harsh sunlight can have negative effects on your pool surface. Keeping sun rays off your pool when not in use extends the life of your pool surface.
- CLEAN WATER: Automatic pool covers protect your pool from dirt and debris, reducing time required to clean the pool.
- EASE: Your automatic pool cover opens and closes at the touch of a passcode-protected button. Say goodbye to the days of manually moving a solar cover or solar panels when you want to swim!
Typically, the fabric used on automatic covers has a useful life of seven to 10 years, so periodic fabric replacement is required. This lifespan can be significantly enhanced by investing in a mesh winter safety cover to be used during the off-season. This cover still provides safety, but saves the easy-open/close convenience for when the pool is being regularly used.
WINTER SAFETY COVERS
Safety is a top priority year-round, but since pools tend to become more dangerous during the winter, a winter safety cover is a great option if an automatic cover is out of your budget. During cold winter months, pools can become dangerous because snow can build on the frozen surface of the pool. This makes it very difficult to determine where the pool is in your yard, which is extremely dangerous for children and animals.
A winter safety cover is a great way to protect your loved ones and pets – and your neighbors – during the off-season. Unlike the automatic pool cover, the winter safety cover can’t be easily opened/closed, so it’s only installed once the pool is closed for the season.
This option is much more affordable than an automatic cover and can provide the same level of safety when in use. As we mentioned above, switching an automatic pool cover to a winter safety cover when you close your pool is a great way to extend the life of your automatic pool cover.
COVER DOCTOR: WINTER SAFETY COVER REPLACEMENT
If your winter safety cover has seen better days, take advantage of the Cover Doctor program to have your winter safety cover remade! Just bring in your existing cover and we’ll have it remade using the template you brought. This ensures your existing anchors can be used, preventing the need of having to drill all new anchors into the concrete.
