Swimming Pool Safety Cover

Your information on swimming pool safety cover, Winter pool covers, and in ground pool covers.

A swimming pool safety cover for your above ground or inground swimming pool should be the first thing any pool owner thinks about when Fall starts and before the cold of Winter starts.

Safety should be of the utmost concern for parents. A good inground or above ground pool cover or a quality solid cover will help protect both your children and pets from becoming another drowning statistic.

For an added layer of protection, I would highly recommend looking into a quality swimming pool alarm.

After years and years of improvements, you can get an outstanding swimming pool safety cover. Many safety pool covers either meet or exceed local and national standards.

When properly secured to your swimming pool, they offer reliable service that can’t be just blown off by a good gust of wind and requires a special installation rod. These are not to be confused with a solar cover, which retains heat in your pool.

I’ve even seen a swimming pool safety cover that can withstand up to 4,500 lbs. of tension.

Pretty close to a couple of horses, or even an elephant.

I personally wouldn’t put an elephant on a swimming pool safety cover, but you can if you want.

Maintenance

Safety pool covers are pretty easy to maintain. Leaves and debris that are on the cover just seem to blow off. If it rains, you can rest easy in knowing no debris will get into your pool causing problems when Spring rolls around and you're stuck scooping 30lbs. of leaves from the bottom of the pool.

If you do have a bit of water accumulated on your safety cover, don't worry about that one bit. Just hook up your trusty swimming pool cover pump and your in business once again.

Appearance

Many safety pool covers can be tailored to fit just about any size of shape of pool. Most covers are available in blue, black, green, or grey. Many pool covers have nice looking fittings and anchors and the need for unsightly ropes and water bags might be eliminated.

Convenience

Convenient safety pool covers are very important to swimming pool owners these days. Who has the time or patience to hassle with a pool cover for 2 hours. I know I don't. Manufacturer's have many different style of covers that can be installed or taken down within a matter of minutes to give us more time to do the things we need to do, like sitting in front of the T.V. with a big sandwich, a bag of chips, and yelling ," I can't believe he didn't see him. He was wide open!"

Warranty

Be sure you're getting a safety pool cover that has a good warranty. Many of them will warranty their work from 8-12 years, and maybe even beyond that.

Remember: As Mr. Miyagi from “The Karate Kid” said, “Driver’s license is no substitute for eyes, ears, and brain.” A pool cover, no matter how good or well constructed, is no substitute for good parental supervision. So use your eyes, ears, and brain.

Sizes and Prices for Swimming Pool Safety Cover

Obviously prices will vary depending on your pool size and shape. These are just estimates but will give you a ball-park figure of what you may expect to pay for an inground safety cover and a round above ground safety pool net.

Round

You cannot place a price on safety. If you don't purchase a swimming pool safety cover, drain your above ground pool and put it away. If you have an inground pool, please get a pool safety cover.

Don't just leave it alone and think, "Well, it won't happen to me."
