Expert Advice from Cover-Pools Rick Clark

"A safety pool cover—which acts like a horizontal fence—is one of the most effective ways to create a secure barrier to the pool. A safety cover that isn't used regularly provides little safety at all. You should ask yourself, Is the cover convenient enough that I will cover the pool whenever it's not being used?"

"Even among automatic covers, some are easier to operate than others. Ours operate using a hydraulic drive system, which eliminates many of the moving parts in cover systems that rely on gear motors."

"When shopping, consumers should ask about the quality of the materials and the length of the warranty. If the pool has an irregular size or shape, or has special features like stair rails, rock walls, etc., the homeowner should ask the installer what measures are in place to ensure a custom-built cover that will fit correctly the first time."
