Know before you buy
No. Because the ProMesh fabric is designed to allow water to drain through, you do not need a cover pump to prevent pooling or weight buildup from rain and snowmelt.
The cover is designed with an approximate 1-foot overlap on all sides. You will need at least that much clearance on your pool deck to properly install the security anchors.
Yes. The material blocks 98% of UV rays, which significantly inhibits algae growth. This helps keep your water cleaner and makes your spring pool opening process much faster.
Yes, the GLI ProMesh cover meets or exceeds the ASTM F 1346-91 safety standard. It provides a secure, tamper-proof barrier that prevents accidental entry by children and pets.
No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for rectangular in-ground pools. Using it on other shapes will prevent a proper fit and compromise the safety and tension of the cover.
The 20-year limited warranty includes 5 years of full coverage for manufacturing defects. The remaining 15 years are prorated, meaning the coverage value decreases over time as the cover ages.
