As more and more pool owners invest in pool safety covers, you might be wondering why they’re so popular. If your pool is open on a daily basis, you might want to consider getting a safety cover to cover your pool overnight and during the seasons you aren’t using it. A pool safety cover is far better than a tarp, or simply leaving your pool open through the season you aren’t using it, as it will prevent water, leaves, dirt and other debris from getting in, and will save you on the maintenance time that removing that nasty gunk takes. Another benefit of a pool safety cover is that it reduces the possibility of accidents such as falls, or of animals getting stuck in your pool. With a quality safety cover, you can easily walk over the top of your pool, making a portion of your yard accessible during the winter. This article will discuss the benefits of safety covers.

Benefits of Swimming Pool Safety Covers

Protect your family: With small children, a pool is always a risk. A safety cover provides a tight, secure cover over your pool, which is strong enough to hold a person’s weight. This means that while covered, it’s virtually impossible to fall into the empty pool, and makes this kind of cover the safest bet for people with small children or pets. Traditional vinyl covers simply can’t offer you the same guarantee of safety.

Easier storage: When compared to lock-in covers or covers, pool safety covers offer far easier storage as traditional vinyl covers need to be kept in a bucket of water to prevent shrinking. If you have limited storage space, a vinyl cover might not be the best option for you. Safety covers are easily stored and folded, offering better storage options than other covers.
Easier to clean: All you need to do to keep a safety cover clean is hose down the material before and after use, then fold it for storage. If you get a lot of leaves and debris on your cover, it’s also much easier to simply blow off the debris every now and then.
Better looking: With a wide variety of colors available, it’s easy to select a cover that suits your yard and home. Better yet, you avoid the sagging mess of water and grime that accumulates in a vinyl cover after rain.
Durable and long lasting: Most covers offer a ten-year warranty and are built to last longer. With hard, polyethylene squares custom fit to the shape of your pool, you are buying a cover for years to come. Covers are secured with stainless steel springs and brass that is fixes into anchors around the exterior edges of the pool. These anchors can be installed in interlocking brick, concrete, wood or as lawn anchors in certain situations.
Custom made for your pool: You can get stock safety covers or custom made ones that will fit any pool shape. Swimming pool safety covers are made of a semi-permeable material which will allow water and light to pass through, meaning that once you open the cover in the summer, there will be water and algae in your pool. Don’t worry, as this is natural and can actually save you money on refilling the pool later on.
