There are have two options when buying a pool winter cover.
In fact, each type is not only made for the sake of physical beauty but are equipped with functional features and productive benefits.
Mesh Pool Winter Cover The first type is made from woven polyethylene material with a conspicuous porous surface.
The holes are not intended for design; these holes allow water to pass through the cover so that there will be no stress on the surface.
Mesh can still prevent the entrance of large debris from the pool.
However, small debris like silt and sand can penetrate the hole.
Another downside is that it allows sun rays to pass inside the holes.
The UV rays can cause algae to grow inside the pool.
When algae grow, pool owners are required to do a general cleaning.
But owners can impede the growth by using an algaecide.
This chemical helps to lessen and prevent the growth of microorganisms.
Solid Pool Winter Cover Solid winter cover is constructed with triple laminated polyethylene strands.
The surface of this cover is way different from mesh.
It has a shiny and smooth surface.
Solid covers are recommended to use for those pool owners who live in a warmer region.
This pool cover really blocks anything that will drop on the surface.
But debris and puddle of water can build up on the surface, thus it will create stress.
The stress can result for the solid cover to become damaged.
The only inconvenience of using a solid cover is the demand of additional devices.
These devices include pool leaf cover and cover pump.
The pool leaf cover separates the solid debris from the liquid.
In this manner, the leaf net supports the winter cover in holding the weight.
