A Buying Guide For Winter Swimming Pool Covers

A winter swimming pool cover is a major aid in maintaining your pool in top condition

. Winter in some locations brings lots of rain, in others lots of snow. Rain carries dirt from the skies and deposits it in the pool. It also carries air-borne algae that wind up right in the water. Snow can freeze pipes and break plastic filters. Keeping the pool covered can help reduce both those problems.

Look for a pool cover that is sewn tightly with polypropylene thread. Heat sealed seams are much more likely to fall apart over the cold months. Pool covers made from tightly-woven materials will keep the sunlight away from the water in your pool, and when the sunlight is blocked, algae cannot grow.

Look for a product that has a good long warranty. Generally, the longer the warranty is for, the more trustworthy the product is, so if you find a product that has an 8 to 10 year warranty, it will probably be a good buy.

There are in-ground and above ground winter pool covers available at your local pool supply store, so you won't have to worry about getting the right size for your pool in most cases. You can also shop at a number of online retail stores that sell winter pool covers. One such site is www.pcpools.com, where you'll find lots of varieties of covers and other pool supplies that you'll need in order to keep your pool clean and safe. You'll be able to see pictures of each of the items, and can be kept up to date on sales and special promotions. Sites like this are also great for giving you advice on how to care for your pool during every month of the year, as well as how to save on pool products that you'll always need.

Don't wait until the snow flies to cover your pool. Autumn brings falling leaves that can turn your pool into a pond. They bring bugs, bacteria and dirt with them. They can clog up a filter. They can also encourage the growth of algae. Algae rest on them and the leaves also provide shade that encourages the growth of certain species.
