Temperatures are dropping and that means your pool isn’t being used and maintenance gets neglected. Protect your pool this winter with Aquaflex pool covers. There are a variety of covers to choose from, so you can’t go wrong. Here are 3 reasons why pool covers are a good idea for winter.

Benefits of covering a pool during winter

Keeping your pool open to the cold air leaves it vulnerable to sunlight and debris, which can cause an array of damages. A winter pool cover can help reduce these risks as well as the expense of cleaning and maintenance down the line.

Protecting your pool from debris means less organic matter in the water. This reduces chlorine consumption, keeping your pool water clean. This then lessens the load on your filters and pumps, reducing the chance of flow blockages. It also means you won’t have to have your pool running through winter, which lifts the weight off your wallet. 

Using a pool cover also acts as a safety mechanism. It prevents pets and young children from taking an unwanted dip into the pool. 

The best pool cover for winter

The best winter pool covers are made of durable material. Whether it’s solid or mesh, what you decide on needs to meet your budget and be able to protect against the winter elements. Your pool cover should also fit your pool’s specific shape, whether it’s in-ground or above-ground. 

Whichever type of pool cover you choose to cover your pool with will have its pros and cons. It is best to make an informed decision to find out what works best for you and your family. Aquaflex manufactures, supplies, and installs pool covers for every type of pool and has a variety of options to choose from.  

Choosing  the right pool cover

When choosing the right pool cover there are multiple factors to keep in mind, such as size, shape, and material. You will want to make sure you have all the necessary facts before making your purchase.

To properly determine the size of your pool cover you will need to measure to find the correct dimensions of your swimming pool. Standard pool sizes are easy to find covers for, otherwise one will need to be custom-made for you. This is the same for unique pool designs, whereas pool covers for symmetrical shapes and commonly found shapes, such as kidney or grecian, are easy to find.

Choosing the material for your pool cover depends on the protection you desire. There are solid covers, mesh covers, geo-bubble covers and more.
