Swimming Pool Covers
Swimming pool covers are made of special type of material depending upon the use of cover. They are of two types, safety covers and ordinary covers. Swimming pool safety cover is meant to prevent any small children from drowning because it probably happen in specially home swimming pools that small children can go near the pool side and drown; other accidents can also happen by striking the baby with the pool mechanical parts, taps, or pipelines so safety covers are used to prevents such undesired incidents. American standards of testing material ASTM has set the safety cover standards that a safety cover has to bear at least 485 pounds of pressure per five sq. feet to qualify the safety standards. Ordinary swimming pool cover is usually used for water protection, it prevent water from evaporation from the pool and also prevents many pollution contamination in water. Swimming pool leaf net covers are usually used for outdoor swimming pools and not allow any leaf or any other object (or insect) to enter the pool.
Inground or above ground swimming pool, both have two types mesh and solid. Mesh swimming pool cover is used for the long time shut down of pool like winter shut down. They require little maintenance and repairing as they can have season effects such as layer of garbage that retains on it, rainy water should be removed when it falls on it, snow layer removal that retain on the upper surface and mesh panels. All these factors decrease the life of the mesh surface so it has to be maintained properly and regularly. But its cleaning should be with care as it is not a safety cover that can bear weight of any person; it can tear with the weight so its cleaning should be with some proper tools. Specialized types of mesh covers have automatic arrangements for the drainage of snow, rain or other layers, they are made of such material that these pollution can slip automatically form its surface; in this way mesh can be saved form any weather adverse effects.
Solid coves are good but such areas have low chances of weather effects because they have no special arrangements for layer drainage so accidents can happen with them; therefore, their use is recommended at those places where there is no heavy rain or snow which causes accumulation problems. Besides these there is swimming pool solar cover that is not meant for safety but they are used to increase or maintain the temperature of pool water, it absorbs solar radiation and prevents them from leaving just like a green house effect. In this way it maintain the temperature of water, solar covers can increase the temperature of water up to 10 – 15 degree C. It is used as inground swimming pool covers and above ground as well.
