Summer holidays are around the bend, and this means pool season! Home pools promise endless summer fun but also comes with a lot of responsibility. During this time, pool safety is a major concern for pool owners, especially parents and those that keep pets. It is important to ensure a safe and pleasurable environment where you and the whole family can relax.

Safety covers for swimming pools are known to be the most reliable solution to preventing any hazards and safeguarding the health of those around you. At Aquaflex, we provide you with a range of quality and affordable pool cover equipment to select from.

let’s take a look at 3 reasons pool covers keep your child and pet safe during the summer holidays.

Lock mechanisms

PVC pool covers provide child- lock mechanisms, such as a tension ratchet, which secures the cover in place. This will allow the parent to make adjustments to the mechanism and release the pool cover easily. It is water resistant and UV stabilized. One end of the pool is anchored in place with removable anchor bolts, whilst the opposite end has corresponding ratchets which allow the safety cover to be tensioned across the pool.

Weight support

Another reason pool covers are reliable, is that they would be able to support a weight of 100kg+. This depends on the type of pool cover. PVC pool covers support 100kg+ (bearing the weight of two adults and a small child), whereas hydraulic vinyl covers, can support up to 250kg. The cover will also help to retain water levels by decreasing evaporation by up to 95%. This is useful when stretching the cover just above the surface and keeping it taut.

Confinement prevention

Lastly, they help prevent entanglement or confinement. Small children and pets, will be protected from falling through and getting trapped beneath a non- safety cover. It goes a long way towards shielding young children from drowning. Toddlers and pets are curious, so are most likely to wander and try and find a way to get into the pool.
