Exploring Winter Pool Covers

With the chilly season around the corner, protecting your pool from the harsh winter becomes a priority. But before you pack all the floaties, you must invest in a proper cover that will shield your oasis off-season. 

This is a specially designed protective cover for pools, built to withstand harsh weather conditions. The pool covers are available for inground pools, protecting your pool from rain, snow, and ice during the colder months.

The winter pool cover is an ideal option for owners looking for optimal protection. Inground pool owners can benefit from an expertly designed winter pool cover inground that fits snugly over the pool. 

In fact, with such a cover in place, every pool owner can look forward to a clean and hassle-free pool opening. Let’s look closer at why investing in a quality and durable pool cover is a wise decision!

Benefits of Winter Pool Covers

They offer a broad spectrum of advantages. They prevent the water from collecting on the top and the pool shell from cracking due to the cold conditions inflicted by the winter. 

Such a cover is crucial for maintaining your pool’s cleanliness, safety, durability, and longevity. We went into further detail below:

Protection

A winter cover serves as a barrier against debris and weather damage. It prevents debris, like dirt and leaves, from entering and accumulating in your pool. It keeps the water clean and reduces its effort when the swimming season returns.

By blocking the sunlight from penetrating and reducing the amount of organic material that enters the pool, the opaque cover minimizes the growth of algae and bacteria. It prevents evaporation and keeps the water clearer and healthier.

Maintenance

With a pool cover for winter, opening the pool for the new swimming season becomes a breeze. The protective cover keeps the water relatively clean, so you spend less time balancing the water and put less effort into initial cleaning.

Moreover, by keeping debris out of the pool and reducing algae growth, the cover decreases the need for regular maintenance. This means lower chemical usage, which translates to less hassle and, ultimately, lower costs.

Safety

The winter safety pool cover provides an additional layer of protection by acting as a strong barrier over the pool. A winter safety cover for the inground pool is sturdy enough to support the weight of snow. The robust winter covers can also prevent accidental falls, especially if you have children or pets.

Durability and longevity

The cover extends the life of your pool equipment and surfaces by protecting them from harsh weather elements. It prevents wear and tear and ensures your pool remains in excellent condition for years. There is also less need for repairs and replacements, saving you more money in the long run. 

Types of Winter Pool Covers

Solid winter pool covers

Solid pool covers are made from durable, waterproof materials like polyethylene or vinyl. The opaque covers completely block sunlight and debris and effectively prevent algae growth. Such covers keep the pool clean when not used and often come with securing mechanisms that keep them in place.

Mesh winter pool covers

A mesh pool cover allows the water to drain while keeping debris out of the pool. It also enables rainwater to pass through, prevents the cover from collapsing, and protects the pool from debris.

Such covers are typically made from tightly woven mesh fabric. They are lighter, easier to handle, and store than solid covers. Mesh covers also reduce the amount of standing water on them, which is often a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

They can last anywhere from five to 15 years, depending on the material they are made of and how well they are maintained. That said, regular cleaning of these covers and proper storage can significantly expand their lifespan.

Regarding storage, it is crucial to fold the cover neatly and keep it in a cool and dry place. The pool cover should be away from direct sunlight to prevent any damage. However, before you store it, you must ensure it is clean and completely dry.
