Know before you buy
No, you do not need a cover pump. The ProMesh material is designed to allow water to drain through the fabric, preventing standing water from accumulating on the surface.
The polypropylene mesh is engineered to block 98% of sunlight. By significantly reducing the amount of light that reaches your pool water, it inhibits the photosynthesis required for algae to thrive.
The extra two feet in both length and width provide a generous overlap. This ensures the cover can be anchored securely to your deck, maintaining the tension necessary to meet safety standards.
Yes, the GLI ProMesh cover is tested to meet or exceed the ASTM F 1346-91 safety standards, which are the industry benchmarks for pool safety covers.
