Benefits Of Owning A Retractable Safety Pool Cover
Safety and Protection
Auto pool safety covers offer you peace of mind in your backyard. These pool covers come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit almost any pool size. They are custom-built to provide a safe barrier that prevents accidents from happening by keeping your children and pets safe.
Energy Savings & Comfort
A pool cover is a great way to keep heat in the pool. It can be used to cover the water and keep it warm, or it can be used to cover the surface of the water and reduce evaporation. The more heated water means a more comfortable swim!
Less Debris & Maintenance
Your pool will also require less maintenance. This is because the water is cleaner, so fewer contaminants will get into the pool. Less dirt and leaves will fall in and you will have to clean it less; and filters and traps will need to be cleaned less often too.
Lower Energy & Lifetime Cost
One of the most critical component to keep in imind when maintaining a pool is to keep the chemical balance. When there is no solar exposure, the water will stay balanced for much longer than if it was exposed to sunlight when algae and other growth occurs. Less chemicals and filtering pump use will save you money over the long term.
Less Wear & Tear On Pool Equipment
Auto pool covers can be programmed to turn on automatically at specific times to keep sun exposure to a minimum, reducing chemical costs and making your filters and pumps work less, reducing wear and tear on your equipment.

How much weight can covers hold and can you walk on them?
According to the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials), most pool covers should be able to support a weight of 485 pounds. Our brand of covers can hold up to 2000 pounds, exceeding the standard. While specific weight guidelines can vary depending on the type and design of the pool cover, it is generally advised to avoid placing heavy loads or using the cover as a walking path. The occasional walk can easily be handled.
Can you install an auto cover on an existing pool?
Absolutely, we can accommodate walking on the pool cover, given that there is sufficient deck space without obstructions. Typically, a minimum deck space at both ends of the pool is required in right angles to allow tracks to run. These guidelines ensure safe and unrestricted access when walking on the pool cover.
