Why Install a Pool Safety Cover
We offer quality pool installation to customers in London, Ontario and surrounding area. But our service doesn’t stop after we fill your new pool with water. To ensure the safety of your family and loved ones, we recommend customers install a pool safety cover.
First, they prevent unwanted access to your pool and accidents. As a pool owner, you must be aware of the importance of safety barriers and pool fences to keep young children and pets from drowning. Covering your pool with a safety cover can give you peace of mind and keep everyone safe, even during the off-season.
But did you know they also protect your pool from harm during the winter season? They can make opening the pool easier in the spring. Pool safety covers shield your pool from falling leaves and debris and prevents water evaporation. A high-quality safety cover can save you money too! Instead of draining and refilling your pool each season, a safety cover can help retain the water in your pool, keeping it clean and fresh.
Types of Pool Covers
When it comes to pool covers, you have several types to choose from:
Winter Pool Covers
Winter pool covers are used to protect your pool during the colder months. They come in different materials such as mesh, vinyl, or a combination of the two. The covers help prevent debris, leaves, and rain from getting into your pool. And they help keep your pool water safe.
Solar Pool Covers
These covers harness the power of the sun to help heat your pool water. Made of a thin layer of plastic or vinyl, they float on the water’s surface and capture the sun’s rays. This helps warm your pool without requiring extra energy usage and expense.
Safety Pool Covers
If you have children or pets around your pool area, then a safety pool cover is a must-have. These covers come in mesh or solid materials and are designed to hold the weight of people and animals, keeping them from accidentally falling into the pool.
Automatic Pool Covers
As the name suggests, these pool covers automatically cover and uncover your pool with just the press of a button. They offer convenience and safety for pool owners who want to keep their pool covered at all times without any effort.
Mesh Pool Covers
These pool covers come in a lightweight and durable mesh material that allows water to seep through but keeps debris out of the pool. They’re a great, inexpensive option for above ground pools.
Leaf Net Covers
These pool covers are made from mesh or netting materials. They are designed to trap leaves and other debris that can accumulate on your pool’s surface. And they’re easy to use! You can save time by keeping your pool cleaner. However, they don’t provide much insulation for colder months.
