If you have kids or pets, keeping them protected around your pool is critical. A pool safety covering can help, providing sturdy and secure protection to catch anyone who takes a tumble.
WaterWarden® swimming pool safety covers are designed with safety and durability in mind. As a leading pool cover manufacturer, we construct our pool covers with two-ply strapping and triple stitching throughout for exceptional strength and durability. These inground pool covers also use #304 stainless steel springs, noncorrosive aluminum tips and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sleeves for a long-lasting build. They feature abrasion-resistant pads to protect the cover from wear against the deck.
The Benefits of WaterWarden Safety Covers for Inground Pools
We manufacture inground pool safety covers in a mesh or solid material. Solid covers provide some extra protection against precipitation, dirt and algae growth, while mesh covers offer moderate protection against algae and are much more lightweight for easier handling. Top benefits of inground pool safety covers include:
- Protect children and pets with ASTM approved pool covers: All mesh and solid safety covers from WaterWarden are ASTM Standard F 1346-91-certified and UL-classified, providing an additional net of safety for children and pets.
- Install with ease: You can easily install your safety cover with a few simple steps.
- Remove quickly: The lightweight, durable material of our mesh safety cover is easy to maneuver, making the transition from pool play to relaxation virtually seamless.
Installation Process for Waterwarden Pool Covers
You can install your pool cover with a heavy-duty hammer or standard drill. Your product kit will come with all of the necessary parts for installation, including:
- Brass anchors
- Stainless steel springs
- Steel installation rod
- Allen wrench
- Spring covers
- Tamping tool
Prepare for the installation of your inground pool safety cover by clearing your pool deck of any furniture, accessories and features such as safety rails. The basic steps include:
- Examine your pool deck area, ensuring there is 3 feet of deck space around the pool’s perimeter.
- Ensure areas like rough coping, waterspouts, etc. are flush with the deck.
- Place the safety cover over the pool, ensuring the protective strips are face-down towards the pool.
- Temporarily secure the straps with water bags and thread them through the D-ring springs.
- Use the center strap on each side of the pool to mark a spot 3 inches out from the spring.
- Using a drill, install the center anchors on each side of the pool first. Insert the tamping tool and tamp the anchors in place.
- Attach the springs to the anchors with the installation rods.
- Once the center straps are secure, repeat the process for the other springs — starting with those closest to the center of the length and then the width of your pool.
Once you successfully install your swimming pool cover, maintain the pool’s water level at a minimum of 18 inches below the cover to prevent spring damage from rain or snow accumulation. Ideally, you will want to add a layer of protective padding around sharp corners and on top of rough surfaces to protect the pool cover.
The Importance of Pool Safety Covers and Other Protective Barriers
Safety covers for inground pools are easy to install and remove, add an extra layer of protection, and can decrease time spent on pool maintenance. Some benefits include:
- Improve safety: Drowning is one of the leading causes of death in children. A simple, easy-to-install preventive measure like a swimming pool safety cover can more effectively protect your loved ones.
- Make Spring Openings Easier: Both mesh and solid pool covers offer a significant degree of protection against dirt buildup and algae growth during the winter months, requiring less pool cleaning and general maintenance when opening your pool in the spring.
- Deter pool entry: A removable swimming pool safety cover can prevent unsupervised pool entry from neighbors or wildlife.
