Know before you buy
Safety covers require a 1-foot overlap on all sides to ensure they can be properly anchored to the pool deck. This extra material provides the necessary tension to keep the cover taut and secure across the water surface.
Mesh covers allow water to drain through into the pool while filtering out debris, which is ideal for areas with heavy rainfall. Solid covers block all water and sunlight, which helps prevent algae growth but requires a pump or drainage system to remove accumulated water from the surface.
Yes, every cover includes the essential hardware package, which consists of anchors, springs, buckles, and an installation rod. You will need to ensure your pool deck is compatible with the included anchor system before beginning installation.
You should select the step-specific configuration only if your pool features a 4x8 rectangular step section centered on one of the ends. If your pool has standard stairs or a different shape, the standard rectangular cover is the correct choice.
Yes, these covers are designed to screen out leaves, dirt, and other debris. By preventing organic matter from entering the water, you will significantly reduce the time and effort required to open your pool in the spring.
These are professional-grade safety covers designed to be tamper-proof and secure. When properly installed and tensioned, they provide a strong barrier that prevents children and pets from accidentally falling into the pool.
