Are Swimming Pool Covers in Atherton Safe?


When buying pool covers, it’s not unusual for customers to ask “Are swimming pool covers in Atherton safe?”

Safety is the most important factor for any consumer when buying a pool cover. You want to know how well those swimming pool covers will perform.

Most of all, a swimming pool cover should be made of durable materials. Usually the fabrics used for swimming pool covers are vinyl, polyvinyl chloride (also known as PVC), polyethylene, or polypropylene. Vinyl is usually made of much denser material so it means that it is really durable and has a longer life expectancy than most other materials.

The safety pool covers are designed to hold weight, so if children or pets step onto the covered pool by accident they will not fall into the pool. The cover will support their weight. If you have a child or children in your home, safety is a major issue for you, then you will want to buy a safety swimming pool cover.

A safety pool cover will keep the water clean by barring any debris (fallen leaves and branches) as well as dust, dirt, and other debris from getting into the pool. A safety pool cover will also eliminate evaporation of water and heat.

Pool Covers, Inc. has both manual and automatic safety pool covers. Both have features that make the pool covers much safer for the whole family as well as for the pool itself. The materials and accessories will make the pool covers even much more secure. If you choose the manual safety pool covers, you can go for the snap-down pool covers (both for regular and irregular-shaped pools) and track manual covers. The snap down covers are locked down with accessories that keep the pool cover child-proof. Track covers, on the other hand, work like the automatic pool covers, except they don’t have a motor. It features a low-profile track which is installed on both sides of the deck.

Pool Covers’ Infinity 4000™ safety automatic pool cover system uses state-of-the-art technology. It has the world’s first-ever “flood resistant” feature that is included in the power options. The automatic pool covers come in both hydraulic and electric types.

If you don’t have a pool but instead have a spa Pool Covers, Inc. also has spa covers that come in automatic, manual, and also aluminum. Any of their spa covers can withstand the weight of children, adults, pets, and even snow.

One more thing to determine if swimming pool covers are safe is to know that they’re certified by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Pool Covers, Inc.’s products not only meet the ASTM standards, but exceed them. With this “seal of approval,” you know that our products provide maximum protection for your pool and your family, too.

Swimming pool covers in Atherton are indeed safe, especially when they’re installed by Pool Covers, Inc., one of the biggest providers of pool covers in Northern California.
