Press Release Summary = One of the most important decisions you will make in regards to your in-ground or above-ground swimming pool is a winter swimming pool cover. A swimming pool cover will not only keep your pool clean throughout the off season, but will also prevent damage and staining to the pool\'s surface and will make the pool more aesthetically pleasing.
Press Release Body = There are several factors to consider when choosing what kind of swimming pool cover to install. Individual budget, safety, ease of installation, climate and goal of the swimming pool cover should all be weighed when searching for the perfect cover solution. Swimming pool covers also come in a wide range of colors, styles and configurations to ensure you can find the ideal cover for your particular swimming pool. Many of the covers can be customized to your swimming pool and tastes.
The swimming pool cover that is used the most in climates where an in ground pool is closed for an extended amount of time is a winter safety cover. These covers are typically constructed of a durable mesh with reinforcing straps or webbing running every three to five feet across the length and width of the cover. They are attached to the pool deck with spring loaded anchors. The benefits of a winter safety swimming pool cover are reduced liability, protection of your swimming pool, and safety for your kids, family and neighbors. Some of the downfalls of these pool covers are that they are fairly expensive ($1,000 and up depending on the size of the pool), and they are not easily removable on a daily basis.
Another form of seasonal swimming pool cover is the standard tarp style cover. These covers are draped over the swimming pool and weighted down on the pool edges with water or sand bags. Although as not as aesthetically pleasing as a safety cover, the tarp covers keep leaves and debris out of the pool and make spring cleaning much easier. They are fairly cost effective (starting around $100 and up not including water bags), and last 3-5 seasons. They are time consuming and labor intensive to put on and take off.
Solar covers are used in any climate for both keeping debris out of the water, but also saving money on heating and evaporation. These covers are constructed of a UV inhibited thermal plastic that is designed to reflect heat back into the pool while absorbing the energy of the sun. They can be used in any climate during the swimming season. They are easily taken off and put back on using various reel systems that simply roll the cover up and can be rolled out of the way. There are many types of reels to fit any budget or pool size. The covers themselves are modestly priced (starting at $200 for a 20x40 pool), and will last several years if cared for properly.
