A safety cover is a swimming pool cover
that has been designed to protect your pool and your loved ones as well as
maintain a very clean look during the winter.
Safety covers are custom-made so they stay taut and tight over your
pool. The cover is secured in by crisscrossed straps attached to springs and
anchors installed into the surrounding area.
Mesh
Safety covers made from mesh can filter
rain and melting snow through the cover and keep large debris out of the water,
but allow sunlight through the material which can allow algae to form during
the off season. Merlin SmartMesh™ covers
are different in that they have the ability provide 100% shade for
the pool, creating less of a chance for algae and bacteria to grow, helping to
make pool openings faster and smoother. Mesh safety covers are lightweight and
are easy to put on in the winter and to remove once it’s warm.
Solid
Solid safety covers are made from a
heavier material, but completely block out all of the sunlight, also making it
practically impossible for algae to grow beneath the surface. Since there is nowhere for rain water or
melted snow to go, an automatic pump or a drain panel accompany a solid safety
cover.
Why choose
a Safety Cover?
Security
Many families tend to choose safety
covers to prevent access to the pool by small children and pets during the off
season. Both solid and mesh safety covers are more than strong enough to hold
the weight of a child if they wandered onto the cover as well as two adults to
walk onto the cover to rescue. Safety
covers create a peace of mind for families that their loved ones will be safe and
that the yard or pool area can still be utilized in the winter. In fact, they
can even support a car!
Time
Once the weather gets nicer, many pool
owners want their pool ready for use as soon as possible. SmartMesh™ and solid safety covers require
less cleanup and can eliminate issues with the water once the pool is uncovered,
leading to quicker opening times.
Protection
Safety covers are tailor-made to make
sure that the cover is an exact fit for each pool. Safety covers can also be made to accommodate
unique shapes, water features, steps, and other different configurations that a
pool may have. This ensures that your pool will be completely covered and the
investments you have made in your pool will be protected too.
