We are planning on remodeling our pool. We will need to add pool safety features (pool gate or cover). We are already doing a near complete demo of the pool, building out with new jacuzzi (repositioning from a detached location). We do use our pool almost year round, and we don't get many leaves in out pool except for when there is high wind. The frameless glass quote we have is about 17k installed. My wife dd not like the look of mesh pool fencing nor did she think we would remove it for at least 7 years, so if we are doing a fence, it'll be glass. We have not figured out cost of automatic pool covers yet but per my research, its about 15-25k and since we are rebuilding the pool, this can be part of the build.
For those of you with kids - do you have a gate vs pool cover? preference? how reliable is the cover? Can it be closed if the motor/electrical is out?
Do you feel an automatic pool cover is just as safe as gates?
Out pool is salt water (saline) and we will not go back to a standard chlorine pool. Is this an issue with a pool cover?
Out climate is hot and dry, not much rain with summer highs over 110-115 routinely. Would that be an issue?
Any brands that are more favorable for durability, serviceability, warranty?
We are located near Palm Springs/souther California.
Any other feedback is appreciated.
