Frequently Asked Questions

   Fabricated from a high-tech blend of lightweight, supple polypropylene that remains pliable and smooth year after year. This unique fabric is impervious to chlorine, mildew resistant, and has an extremely high tensile strength. 

 The best mesh fabric available equals the ultimate pool cover.  The tighter weave minimizes the sunlight that passes through the cover, therefore reducing spring time algae growth.

 This coated material is significantly stronger, has reduced weight and a tightly woven polyester rip stop core. The core limits the ripping and fraying if the material is punctured. Other covers available are made from laminated materials and do not offer these same advantages. An automatic pump or drain panel is required with this type of cover to prevent water accumulation on the surface. 

 Corrosion and rust proof brass components are used throughout the cover. Threaded anchors conveniently recess flush with the pool deck when not in use. While other are using cheap aluminium caps to prevent fraying, Coverlon only uses brass caps (painted black) to finish off each strap. 

The unique spring design is angled down at both the front and the back which prevents gaps between the cover and the pool deck, keeping wind and debris out. The spring has been finished off with their signature E-Z Adjust locking device, which allows you to tighten the strap without a buckle saving time and hassle. 

Quality stitching is always a plus with covers, but most is decorative. The real strength is the black bonded thread, triple stitched into their cover. The applied to the bonded thread has excellent abrasion resistance improving durability, strength and life span. 

  Critical intersections receive both a Box and X-stitch using UV resistant Gore® Tenera® thread, which remains flexible and strong during extreme hot or cold, will not absorb water, resists acid rain, salt water and freezing. 

Double webbing sets these covers apart from the rest. Instead of the webbing stopping 18 inches from the cover’s edge, Coverlon sews the webbing across the entire cover. A layer of webbing is triple stitched on both sides make the cover super strong and safe. The webbing is specially fabricated with a tensile strength of approximately 4,000 pounds per square inch. 

Overall, Winter Safety Covers range between $1,000 - $3,000 in price but they are a great investment to not only secure your pool but also provide greater confidence in safety, maintenance, and keeping your pool in the best possible condition.  Installation is relatively simple and taking care of your cover is not complicated.  Note that these covers are NOT intended to be walked on for an extended period of time.
