Everything You Need to Know About Safety Covers for Your Pool

When the hot sun is shining, there is no better place to be cooling off than your inground pool. Pools are a fantastic investment as they create a space for exercise, fun, socializing and making summer memories. However, when you aren’t using your pool it is important to keep it covered up. Covering your pool keeps people and animals around it safe. Safety covers protect from unexpected falls and keep debris out of the water, saving you cleaning and maintenance come spring.

What’s the Difference Between Traditional and Safety Pool Covers?

Traditional pool covers are mesh or plastic and roll out over your pool to create a thin barrier on the surface of the water. They’re often secured with water bags, which can be a pain to fill and maintain.

Traditional pool covers are useful for keeping light debris like leaves out of your pool but because of their flexible material they do not enhance the level of safety around your pool.

Safety covers, on the other hand, are lightweight but durable covers for inground or semi-inground swimming pools. Their main function is to keep children, pets and other critters from falling in the pool.

As an added bonus, safety pool covers keep leaves, grass, snow and other unwanted debris from entering the pool and creating a mess to deal with in the spring. However, their primary purpose is safety. For these reasons, pool safety covers are a necessity for any pool owner with children or pets.

Look for a Snug Fit

Safety covers differentiate from regular pool covers because they fit perfectly to your pool shape to create a tight seal. It’s this tight seal that keeps unwanted people, animals and debris out of your pool. In fact, safety covers are anchored into your pool deck, and with no water bags they make opening and closing your pool much easier.
