I'm shopping for my first pool cover and can't seem to figure out if there is really any difference in quality or materials between Merlin, Looploc or GLI. Most of the installers I've spoken to swear that they are all the same material. I feel I am leaning towards the thicker mesh option (Merlin calls theirs SmartMesh, GLI calls theirs ProMesh and I forget the name of the Looploc version). Has anyone been through this shopping experience and compared these same brands have any feedback? Pricing and warranty is about equal. If one uses better springs or stitching that would help me make up my mind.
My guess is this is similar to pools, the installer you choose is probably more important than the product you go with....
