A Custom Pool Cover Is The Way To Keep Your Pool Clean During Off-Season

Posted on: 26 December 2019

If you're planning to get an indoor pool, or if you already have one and you're tired of it getting dirty during the off season, then you should get a pool cover. Unless you have a rectangular standard size pool, you'll probably need a custom cover for the best fit. Also, you'll want a safety cover for your pool rather than a blanket cover that just floats on the top. Here are some options in custom swimming pool covers and why you want one.

Why Your Pool Needs A Quality Cover

A custom cover is made to fit the dimensions and shape of your pool. It attaches to the deck around your pool with straps so the water stays covered until warm weather returns. Strapping the cover to the deck is an important safety feature that keeps animals and kids from falling into the pool. The cover also keeps debris from being blown into the pool since the cover is strong enough to hold lawn chairs, branches, and other debris until they can be removed.

A cover also keeps out leaves, dirt, and bugs so it isn't so time consuming to open your pool in the spring. Depending on the type of cover you get, mesh or solid, your pool water could be mostly clean and clear even after a long winter, so it won't take long to get it ready for swimming the next season.

The Options For A Custom Pool Cover

Pool covers come in different colors so you can get one in green, blue, red, gray, or brown according to your preferences. However, there are two main types of covers: solid and mesh. The solid vinyl covers completely block the water in your pool from the sun and rain so the water says as clean as possible. The mesh covers let rain and snow seep into the pool while keeping out leaves and reducing the amount of sun that reaches the water. Both types of pool covers keep unwanted debris and animals out of the water and keep the pool clean when you're not using it.

When you order your custom swimming pool cover, you'll need the dimensions of your pool so you get the right size and shape. You can install the cover yourself or hire someone to do it for you. Installation entails drilling holes in the concrete so you can put in bolts that hold the straps tight. When you take the cover off in the spring, you can sink or remove the bolts so they are out of sight and don't pose a tripping hazard.

Exploring Information About Pool Contractors

Hello everyone, my name is Wesley Franks. I would like to use my website to share information about pool maintenance and repair services. When I moved to the big city, I selected a home with a functioning pool in the backyard. Unfortunately, I had no idea how to keep the pool maintained on a yearly basis. The pool ended up looking sick and green in very little time. Soon after, the pump failed due to the excess debris circulating through the water. I sought help from a skilled pool contractor to reverse the damage and restore the function of my pool. I will use this site to help others avoid my pool maintenance mistakes.
