Pool safety covers are essential to protecting your swimming pool from dirt and debris, but more importantly, they protect family members, animals, and anything at all from getting trapped beneath the surface. There are a few options to choose from, so consider what works best for your needs.
Types of Inground Pool Covers
Mesh
If you’re looking for lightweight inground pool covers, consider a mesh design. This option is one of the most affordable, yet durable covers that can withstand thousands of pounds. Plus, they can last 15 years or more with proper care. Since they’re light, they also tend to be the most manageable option for pool owners, however, they can vary when it comes to sunlight. To prevent algae growth, look for one that can block out as much as 99 percent of sunlight.
Solid
A solid safety cover is impermeable to debris, snow, rain and sun, making them a great choice for winter pool covers. You’ll uncover sparkling-clean water when you open your pool next season. However, they do require some maintenance since the water collected on top must be pumped regularly. These may cost a bit more simply because they come with that pump.
Hybrid
If you want the best of both mesh and solid, most pool safety products offer a hybrid design. Rather than having to pump the water out like a solid cover, hybrid covers use mesh panels to drain water into the pool. Like mesh covers, they’re light, making removal, cleaning, and storage easy.
