Frequently Asked Questions about safety covers.

How much do safety covers cost?

There are many types of inground pool safety covers available today - from mesh covers to solid covers made from a variety of materials. The cost of the safety cover will be based on the size of the pool, the type of material selected, and the shape of the pool. Mesh style safety covers will be the least expensive material; rectangular shaped pools will have lower cost covers when compared to covers for free form shaped pools; smaller pools will be less expensive than larger pools. Covers will generally range from around $2000 at the lower end - smaller pools, mesh cover, standard rectangular shape - up to $4000 or more for larger pools with solid covers and free form style shapes.

What is the best safety cover for my pool?

Safety covers are a great addition for any inground swimming pool. Which one is best for you is not an easy question. Many factors go into your decision as to which cover is best for you. Some of these factors include: What time of year do you open and close your pool - i.e. are you an early opener and late closer, or a late opener and early closer? What type of filter system do you have? Are you comfortable with re-balancing your pool water in the spring - as rain and melting snow will knock your water out of balance.
