What Kind of Pool Cover Should I Purchase?

Power-Operated Pool Covers Can Help Prevent Drowning

A power-operated pool cover can be placed over your pool when it is not in use. A properly installed pool cover can help to prevent drownings from children wandering into the pool area. Most pool covers on the market today are made to withstand the weight of a small child. A pool cover, however, should not be used in lieu of child safety fencing; rather use a power-operated pool cover in addition to child safety fencing around your swimming pool area.
