When Should I Install My Pool Cover?

HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Sept. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- LOOP-LOC, manufacturer of removable pool fence, discusses the best time to install a safety pool cover.

Knowing exactly the right time to install the safety pool cover is important. Some pool owners may want to accomplish this before the busy back-to-school season begins. To ensure that your pool is set for colder weather, make sure to winterize your pool properly before putting the cover on.

It is also a wise idea to install the pool cover before too many leaves, dirt, and other debris fall into the pool. This will not only save valuable time by reducing the need to skim the pool, but it will also preserve the pool liner and keep it looking pristine.

There are numerous other reasons to install a safety pool cover. It will prevent people, pets, and other animals from entering the pool when it is not in use. Mesh covers block virtually all sunlight—while still allowing rain and melting snow to easily drain through. The virtually solid mesh safety cover uses a light-blocking fabric that not only deters algae growth but drains lightning-quick. Solid covers block the light completely.

LOOP-LOC pool covers also meet—and exceed—ASTM safety standards for Safety Swimming Pools Covers that mandate a cover must be able to support a certain amount of weight, not permit gaps that a child or pet could squeeze through and remove standing water. They have also undergone extensive outside testing through Underwriters Laboratories (U.L.) and have earned the U.L. seal of approval for safety swimming pool covers.

LOOP-LOC covers attach to the deck firmly with heavy-duty, non-corrosive, type 302 grade stainless steel springs for superior weight-bearing accuracy. Brass anchors recess flush with the deck when the cover is removed. When used together, these items place a solid "lock" on the pool that keeps children and pets from entering the water.
