How To Maintain Your Pool Safety Covers?

How To Maintain Your Pool Safety Covers?

A swimming pool safety cover for in-ground and above ground pools differs from any other types of pool cover in that it is designed to prevent drowning and submersion accidents by providing a taut barrier over the pool water. According to standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, a cover can only be called a safety cover if it is able to support at least 485 pounds per 5 square feet. Any person or animal who wanders onto a properly installed safety cover will be protected from falling into the pool.
• The stainless steel springs should be very taut upon initial installation. In time, the cover will relax and the tension will ease. In order to do its job well, pool cover for safety must be kept in good shape.Here are some tips pool owners can follow to maintain their safety cover:
• The mesh pool safety cover you can walk on is designed to screen out leaves and other debris. Clear water can only be maintained with proper chlorinization and winterization. 
• The pool’s water level cannot go below 18” from the top during winter months. Failure to do so will place undue strain on the cover and void the warranty.
• Removal and subsequent installation is made easier if the cover is fan-folded. 
• Debris may be easily hosed off a properly installed cover.
• Store the cover in the mesh storage bag included when not in use. Hang the bag off the floor so the cover can drain. Also, store off the ground to keep mice and other animals from getting to the cover.
• Flush out safety cover anchor casings with a hose several times a year to prevent sticking. Spray anchor and casing with silicone. 
• For solid pool safety cover owners: To clean the debris screen, remove cover, open and fold back the mesh panel on top of the cover. Hose the filter screen off from behind to remove fine debris. Close panel and store.
• For solid cover owners: Cover must be suspended above the pool’s water level in order to drain. Excessive melting snow and spring rain can raise the pool’s water level too high for cover to drain. If this occurs, simply drain some water from the pool until the cover is suspended above the pool’s water level. Be sure not to drop the pool’s water level more than 18” from the top of pool. Straps and springs may need tightened to achieve proper tension.
With proper maintenance,your winter pool safety mesh cover and solid cover will keep safe and last longer.
