Safety pool covers give pool owners peace of mind, preventing tragic drowning in above ground and inground swimming pools.
What Is A Pool Safety Cover?
A pool safety cover is a strong pool cover, often made of fine steel mesh, that sits flat and taught over the swimming pool. Mesh safety covers drain rain water through them into the pool so that no standing water remains on the top of the cover. Solid flat covers may drain water off the sides of the pool. Pool safety covers do not sink into the pool under the weight of a child, pet, or even an adult.
How Strong Are Pool Safety Covers?
The strength and weight bearing capacity of pool safety covers is specific to the model of cover.. At minimum, most covers will hold at least three hundred pounds, and many are far stronger even still. For specific cover and inground pool safety information, research an individual model’s inground or above ground pool safety cover specs.
The most accurate inground pool safety cover information is that which is written for a given model. Look up more specific cover and inground pool safety online or talk to sales representatives.
Are Safety Covers Only For Winter?
Short answer - no. Pool safety covers can be used any time of year, but many pool owners are most concerned with the long term protection of a winter safety pool cover. Online resources again are a good place to research covers and find out if they are rated for year round use or if a separate safety cover is needed for the cold months. Winter safety pool cover specs also list this kind of information.
Another reason pool owners are ready to invest in a mesh winter safety pool cover is cleaning. With no puddling dirty water on the swimming pool safety cover cleaning during spring opening is a snap. And with a safety cover, inground pool safety at cleaning time is safer, too. Not only is the largest part of the chore (water removal) automatic, swimming pool safety cover cleaning of debris can be done with a strong garden hose.
Pool owners using safety pool covers throughout the swimming season often want to know what automatic cover pool safety specs have to offer. Not every pool owner is able to heft large, heavy covers; they look to automatic pool safety cover specs to be sure a mechanism is available that will allow them to readily apply and remove an automatic cover. Pool safety, swimming and cleaning require full safety cover removal.
As with all pool covers, safety covers are never for use when swimmers are enjoying the pool.. All covers must be fully removed before swimming - even an automatic cover. Pool safety swimming specs are clear that entanglement in a partially removed cover can happen regardless of the cover type or removal method.
Everything a pool owner needs to know about manual or automatic swimming pool safety cover specs can be found online at swimming pool information sites, swimming pool and cover retail websites, or on searching pool industry manufacturer’s sites..
