Pool Covers

Fall is the most recognized time for people to really start thinking about keeping leaves out of their swimming pool in Chicago. The reality of of managing swimming pools with leaves in them is that they can have a multitude of issues if you do not have a pool safety cover . The first issue is the the stains that are etched into the liner or the finish of your swimming pool due to the acidity of the tree leaves from a wide variety of trees including Oak, Pine and Maple trees. The second issue that one faces by not having a pool safety cover or pool leaf cover is that the leaves can clog the skimmer and this will ultimately place a strain on the pool pump once it is clogged enough. The benefits aside from having a pool cover is having the pool safe. Any pool cover that you use should be ASTM level of  building quality. A word of caution, most if not all covers that are built outside of the country do not follow these guidelines. Make sure you buy your cover or pool safety cover from a manufacturer that is based in the United States and the warranty is clear along with the contact information for your level of comfort.
