safety cover

Okay, so I am going out of town soon and will be gone for 2 weeks. I currently have a Stenner pump that injects .3 gallons of 10% chlorine a day, to keep it around 2-3 ppm. All levels are fine (minus hard water but that's a city water issue) and it stays clean and clear. I get 4-6 hours of full...

We're installing a new pool now, 6 years after moving away from our last place with a pool. When they pour the concrete for the deck, can they just embed the anchors for the safety cover into the concrete while it's still wet so we don't have to drill into hardened concrete afterwards? All of...

Hi all - Looking for some help. We recently installed a 16x36 inground vinyl liner pool, and did not have enough budget to install auto-cover. Builder wanted all-or-nothing commitment during the build, and we couldn't do the 35K auto-cover through his installers. So, coping went on and pool was...

16x36 Inground Vinyl Liner pool install has completed, and I have purchased a winter safety cover (HPI Bloc Mesh 99%). We have 3 sides grass, and the 16ft entry area is interlocking pavers with compacted sub-base. I do realize the way my pool is setup with 75% grass that it could never be a...

I just closed my pool in the Boston area. After a small amount of rain, there is water collecting on, and stretching, one panel of my 5 year old Loop-Loc mesh cover. The pool was drained well below the cover, so this panel is not sitting on the water surface. Has anyone seen this before...

Hello all, I have a question about winter safety cover attachment points. on about 2/3 of the one side of my inground pool, the spikes are in the grass. They are pulling out and don't really hold the cover in place very well at all. Anyone have a tried and true suggestion to remedy this? I...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with either the Anchor Inc 5-Star or Classic Solid Covers ( Browse Our Pool Covers | Anchor Industries ) . My pool guy recommended them and it's hard to find much info on them. Probably because when you search the brand Anchor, pool anchors come up instead of...

Hi all - Was hoping I could hear from anyone who has seen this cover in person, or has it installed. Automated Pools Inc. has a Manual Safety Pool cover with an on-deck track. https://www.automaticpoolcovers.com/our-products/manualguard-pool-cover It requires you to manually pull it across...

Was looking for safety cover anchors with a spiral bit/auger-bit style shaft that rotated into the ground and helped prevent the anchors from pulling up in soil. I know I saw some of these online last year when I was looking, but can no longer find them doing a Google search. Can't remember...

Hi, I'm in the market looking for a mesh safety pool cover. The rectangular pool measures 32X18, and has an additional 8X4 center step. The standard covers seem to be of size 36x18 and come with a center step. Will that fit my pool, i.e. the length is 32 + the additional 4 feet for the step...

Hey everyone, It's time to purchase a safety cover for a first time pool owner here. I am SO torn here in two different areas. Solid vs. Mesh I understand that solid allows for the easiest start up in spring. My step daughter who worked for a pool company as a summer job said they are...

I'm new here and need a bit of help with securing my pool. I have a porch that leads directly to my pool (3ft clearance). What are the requirements for pool gates? It seems futile to put up a gate since someone could just jump in from the porch. Also, does anyone know the clearance required for...

Hi me again. Anyone have any experience with In the Swim. I am Torn between the following two covers. The off brand kind of scares me and wondering if I’m better off staying with a name brand. So I guess my question is which of the covers from In the Swim would you get deluxe or...
