Pool Safety Cover - Which one?

Clay B
by Clay B
I would like to hear from existing homeowners or professionals on Solid Pool Safety Covers. Completely Solid with pump (no mesh as I do not want any water draining into the pool).
I'm look mainly at Coverstar, Coverlon, and LoopLoc2. Any features I should look for or avoid, and any tips would be appreciated. It's a lot of money and I want to make sure it's well spent.

  • I am interested in knowing why you want a cover that will not allow water to drain into the pool? Is this for winter so you do not have to pump out overflow or is there another reason? I am contacting someone who may be able to provide you with this information and hopefully they will respond soon.

    mesh covers lead to dirty water in spring and lots of expensive chemicals to re-open in spring, plus scrubbing all walls several times. Mesh lets in sunlight, leads to algae growth. Solid keeps water crystal clear. My tarp style current cover, I take it off, add one $7 bag of shock and I'm done. Just a quick vacuum, and we can swim.

    oh yes, this will be for the upcoming winter. Plus it's easier to monitor water on the top of cover, than underneath the cover. Solid comes with an automatic pump too.
