FAQ
Our expert staff answers customer's most asked questions.
How long should a winter pool cover last?
The lifespan of a winter pool cover depends on material quality, UV resistance, and how well it’s maintained. Heavy-duty woven polyethylene covers with UV inhibitors can last many seasons. Investing in a higher-quality cover often reduces replacement costs over time.
How do I choose the right size winter pool cover for my pool?
Your winter cover should match your pool’s shape and be slightly larger than the pool’s actual dimensions. For above-ground pools, this extra material is called the overlap and allows the cover to secure over the top rails.
Do I really need a winter pool cover?
Yes, using a winter pool cover is one of the best ways to protect your pool during the off-season. A quality cover keeps out leaves, dirt, and debris and limits sunlight exposure that causes algae growth.
