Safety Pool Covers, Rollers & Reels

Safety Pool Covers and Rollers

Pool safety is of the utmost importance. Whether you have pets or younger children who have not yet learned to swim, it is always a wise idea to invest in a pool cover or roller to prevent drowning and other accidents. These covers also prevent debris from entering the pool and filters and are available in a variety of types, shapes and sizes.

One way to prevent unsightly clutter on your deck is with a pool cover roller. Designed to keep your cover rolled up and out of the way, these contraptions can be used by a single operator with ease. Most attach to the pool cover with straps and clips. While automatic varieties have a reputation for their ease of use, manual rollers are often less costly.

In addition to a pool cover and roller, it may be worthwhile to invest in other pool accessories, such as a pool fence. Pool fences are designed to further enhance safety and are a great first line of defence when used in conjunction with a pool cover.

Heating a pool is expensive, but you can save on heating costs with a pool blanket. Similar to pool covers, pool blankets come in a variety of sizes and thicknesses, designed to meet your pool needs. Shape is not much of a factor, as most can be cut to match your pool's figure. For ultimate cost savings, opt for a solar blanket that transfers the energy of the sun directly into your pool water.

Tackle pool debris and algae with a pool filter. Available in various types (including sand filters, cartridge filters and diatomaceous earth (DE) filters), choosing the right one is imperative to maintaining your pool's circulatory system. Be sure to familiarise yourself with the benefits and drawbacks of each in order to make an informed decision.
