Pool Safety Covers NJ – If you own a pool, you need a pool cover. In the interest of safety, a pool safety cover is the mark of a responsible pool owner. Some municipalities even require them. The advantages of a pool cover are two-fold: they protect the contents of your pool in the offseason and they prevent kids and pets from falling in when unsupervised.
Pool Safety Covers NJ
Let’s go over the many benefits of pool safety covers and why you need them.
Safety
The main reason to install a pool cover is safety, whether for your above ground or in ground unit. Accidental drowning is, sadly, very common, and it doesn’t discriminate. It happens to people of all ages, although it’s more common in small children. Plus, it can also happen to wild animals and domesticated pets.
Every day in this country, 10 people die from unintentional drowning, with two of those being children aged 14 or younger, according to the CDC. Indeed, drowning ranks fifth in leading causes of unintentional injury death in the U.S.
A pool safety cover made of strong materials, when properly installed, will prevent these unnecessary drownings that happen in the blink of an eye.
Pool Protection
Protecting your investment is another advantage of installing a pool safety cover. After all, you spent a lot of money on your pool: why would you let it go to seed over the winter, collecting all manner of debris in the process? Plus, you’re making the opening process much harder on yourself come spring without a cover.
Pool safety covers serve to block out sunlight. Why is this important? Algae forms in the water when sunlight peeks through. Covers block the light as well as organic debris that can accumulate during the off-season.
Energy-Saving Solution
Pool covers save energy because they conserve water and reduce chemical consumption. They also cut down on cleaning time and maintenance requirements, since they keep dirt out of the pool.
Water Savings
When placing a mesh safety cover on your pool at the end of the season, the water level is lowered about a foot below the tile, which leaves room for it to fill up gradually throughout winter due to snow melt and rain. This boosts water condition because rain water is pure and acts to dilute the level of dissolved solids in the pool water. But it also saves thousands of gallons of water every year because you don’t have to add your own water in spring since it’s already topped off.
As you can see, there are many benefits associated with installing a pool safety cover on your NJ pool.
