Know before you buy
The integrated mesh panels are designed to filter out debris while allowing rainwater and snowmelt to pass through into the pool. This prevents heavy water accumulation on the surface of the cover, which helps maintain its structural integrity throughout the off-season.
Yes, the Ultra-Loc III is constructed from premium coated vinyl that is completely opaque. By blocking 100% of sunlight, it prevents the photosynthesis required for algae to grow, resulting in a much cleaner pool when you open it in the spring.
No, this specific model is custom-engineered for a 20' x 40' rectangle pool with a 4' x 8' step featuring a 4' left offset. If your step configuration differs, this cover will not provide the necessary safety seal required for UL certification.
One of the primary benefits of this cover is that it requires virtually no maintenance. Because the mesh panels handle drainage and the solid material prevents algae, you do not need to scrub or pump water off the top during the winter.
Yes, every Ultra-Loc III cover comes with the complete set of necessary installation hardware. This includes the anchors, springs, and installation tool required to secure the cover properly to your pool deck.
The 15-year prorated warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. As a prorated warranty, the coverage value decreases over time, but it provides long-term protection against premature failure of the vinyl or scrim.
