Winter Pool Covers For In-Ground Swimming Pools

By James Claypool



If you own an in-ground swimming pool, you want to make sure that it stays in the best condition possible so you can enjoy it for many seasons to come. However, in order to ensure that this is possible, good pool maintenance is absolutely vital. One of the most important parts of maintaining your swimming pool is making sure that you close it properly for the winter. This involves using and properly installing a quality winter pool cover. When you take this step, you will be protecting your pool from the harsh winter weather, cold temperatures and algae growth. As a result, when spring arrives, your pool will be much cleaner as well as faster and easier to open. The actual structure of your pool will also be in better condition. This is why in-ground winter pool covers are so essential to proper swimming pool maintenance.

Quality winter pool covers for in-ground swimming pools have been specially designed and manufactured to provide exceptional protection and durability. To begin with, such winter pool covers are made from triple laminated high density polyethylene fabric, which is an exceptionally tough and time-tested material. This means that these in-ground swimming pool winter covers won't split or tear, even during freezing temperatures, snow, sleet or hail. In addition, this heavy-duty fabric is tightly woven, providing even greater ability to withstand inclement weather and also preventing the passage of sunlight through the cover. Quality in-ground swimming pool winter covers also feature a solid black underside. Together with the tight weave of the fabric, this undercoating prevents light from penetrating the cover, thereby inhibiting algae growth and keeping the pool's water cleaner.

A weather resistant top-coat is also a common feature of in-ground winter pool covers. This extends the life of the cover by allowing it to withstand damage from UV rays, even when exposed to hours of direct sunlight. The seams of quality winter pool covers for in-ground swimming pools also play a role in increasing the durability and effectiveness of the covers. For instance, extra-wide fabric is often used in order to allow for fewer seams, which translates to fewer weak areas and a greatly reduced potential for rips and tears. Furthermore, the seams of top quality winter pool covers are heat-sealed rather than sewn to make them more secure and to prevent water from seeping through the cover and into your pool.

With their triple laminated scrims and special top and under coats, in-ground swimming pool winter covers can resist all types of negative conditions. From acid, salt and chlorine to mildew and sub-freezing temperatures, quality winter pool covers can stand up against it all. Perhaps best of all, these covers are very lightweight and easy to handle, so opening and closing your pool will be a breeze. This is true even though such in-ground winter pool covers are manufactured from such tough and durable material.

Winter Pool covers for in-ground swimming pools are available to fit and protect pools of all different sizes. From 12

    For starters just do a quick search on Google for information about above ground swimming pools. You can even search article directories and find good resources their. You can also search YouTube and learn all about above ground pools and even watch videos on how to maintain them. Just remember that above ground pools are more prone to leaks. If that is the case you need a leak professional. I had a leak and used http://swimmingpoolleakdetection.com and they guy was amazing. So just keep that in mind so a year down the road when you have a leak you aren’t surprised.

    Is there a good internet site to get basic info on above ground swimming pools. Like what to look for when buying a pool, what type of filtration to use, price guidelines. I know nothing about what it would take to install a pool, or how much it would cost, and am just looking for a good jumping off point.

    how much sand should you put down for above ground swimming pools?
    we are getting a 15′ x 48″ Metal-Frame Swimming Pool and we need to put some sand down on the ground before we set it up. How much should we put down? Inches or yards would be nice :)

    For a small pool like this, you don’t need that much. Only enough to give you a level base, and enough to be sure of no sharp roots or stone. 3 or 4 inches will do if you have a fairly level spot.

    No, not having a fence, doesn’t consist of insurance fraud.

    Most insurance companies in urban and suburban areas will require a fence, however, they won’t talk to you, as the policy information is protected by privacy laws. If you’re out in the boonies on 1000 acres of land, then most of the time, you don’t need a fence.

    If there’s an ordinance requiring him to have a fence, and he doesn’t have one, you need to write a letter to the city, and the neighbor, certified, return receipt, advising that the ordinance is being violated, that pools are a known attractive nuisance, and if your child or pet wanders into the pool and drowns, you’ll hold both the city and the neighbor fully responsible, as neither of them are doing what the law requires, and the situation is obviously hazardous.

    Do insurance companies require fencing around in-ground swimming pools?
    There is no fence between my neighbor’s house and mine. He has an in-ground pool that he regularly leaves uncovered.
    Even though our City ordinances require him to have a fence, he is refusing to put one up.
    Can he be cited for insurance fraud?
    The City is aware but unwilling to take action.
