Know before you buy
Yes, the cover is manufactured at 22' x 46' to provide the necessary 2-foot overlap on all sides. This extra material ensures the cover can be securely anchored to your deck while maintaining the tension required for safety.
The patented Kleen-Screen drain is integrated into the cover to allow water to pass through while filtering out leaves and fine debris. This prevents heavy water buildup on the surface while keeping your pool water cleaner throughout the off-season.
Yes, this cover meets ASTM F 1346-91 safety standards. It is designed to be puncture-resistant and tamper-proof, providing a secure barrier that helps prevent accidental entry into the pool.
While the mesh drain handles most water, the automatic pump is included to manage standing water that may accumulate in specific areas or during heavy precipitation. The pump is designed to deactivate automatically once the water level drops to approximately 1 inch.
Yes, the polypropylene mesh is engineered to block 100% of sunlight. By eliminating UV exposure, the cover prevents the photosynthesis required for algae to thrive, resulting in clearer water when you open your pool in the spring.
Maintenance is minimal, but you should periodically check that the anchor straps remain tight and clear of debris. Additionally, ensure the automatic pump is positioned correctly and that the Kleen-Screen drain remains unobstructed for optimal performance.
