Auto pool cover on existing pool

[adamfrey]

Hello great gurus,

We are considering putting on a auto pool cover and wanted to hear ideas on brands, pros/cons, materials, etc.

I am hoping to achieve:
1) safety for the kids
2) less leaves (we have a lot and I worry about the vinyl covers getting weighed down with them)
3) save on thermal and hopefully get to use the pool a few more weeks on each side of the season. I live in Atlanta.

Thanks so much,

Adam

No problem!
Cover keeps kids, animals and leaves all out. A *few* leaves sneak in at the retracting edge, but that's no big deal.
My cover was installed by Pool Cover Specialists out of Charleston. I'm sure you have installers closer to you there in Atlanta.
