Choosing a Pool Cover for Atlanta Winters

Mesh pools are a great option for pool owners looking to save money and extend the life of their pool. On average, mesh covers cost $200-$600 less than solid vinyl pool covers and have a lifespan of 10-15 years compared to solid vinyl covers with a 7-11 year lifespan.

In addition, mesh covers are much easier to take on and off the pool. Due to their lightweight materials, mesh covers can be removed by a single person, while solid covers require at least two people. Water can also pass-through mesh covers, so there's no need to purchase and replace your submersible pumps every 2-4 years. Finally, mesh covers don't normally require many repairs in the off-season. All of these factors make mesh covers an ideal choice for pool owners looking for a cost-effective and low-maintenance pool cover solution.

A solid vinyl pool cover is a great way to maintain clean water and prevent algae growth. Sunlight is essential for algae growth, so by covering the pool with a solid vinyl cover, you can be sure that algae won't grow in your pool. Additionally, water is kept out of the pool in the winter, so you won't have to worry about rain or snow contaminating the water. This means you'll have less work in the Spring when you're preparing your pool for the swimming season. Because of these factors, solid vinyl pool covers are an excellent choice for pool owners who want to ensure their pool stays clean during the winter and is ready to use in the Spring with minimal effort.

Automatic Pool Covers

Automatic pool covers are an increasingly popular choice for pool owners looking for a convenient way to keep their pools clean and safe. These covers are designed to automatically close over the pool when not in use and can be opened with the push of a button when it's time to swim.

In addition to keeping out debris, automatic pool covers also help to reduce evaporation and keep the water warm. As a result, pool owners can save money on expensive chemicals, heating, and water bills. Automatic covers also come in a variety of sizes and styles to perfectly match your pool. Whether you're looking for added safety or increased efficiency, an automatic pool cover is a great choice.
