Know before you buy
While many homeowners choose to install this cover themselves, it does require drilling into your pool deck to install the anchors. If you are not comfortable using a hammer drill and measuring for precise anchor placement, hiring a professional is recommended.
This cover features integrated mesh panels that allow rainwater to drain through into the pool while filtering out leaves, dirt, and other debris. This design prevents heavy water pooling on the surface while keeping your pool water clean.
No, this specific model is custom-cut to accommodate a center end step. Using it on a standard rectangular pool without that specific step configuration will result in an improper fit and may compromise the safety and tension of the cover.
This certification confirms that the cover has been rigorously tested to support significant weight, helping to prevent accidental submersion of children or pets. It is the industry standard for safety covers and ensures the material can withstand substantial pressure.
The kit comes with all the necessary components for a standard installation, including brass anchors, stainless steel springs, and the installation tool. You will have everything needed to secure the cover to your deck immediately upon arrival.
Keep the cover clear of heavy debris and ensure the straps remain taut throughout the season. Periodically check the anchors to ensure they are secure and free of buildup, which will help maintain the integrity of the cover and extend its lifespan.
