Using electric pool covers to keep your swimming pool covered up when not in use is a great way to maintain safety and keep it clean overnight. But it can be very easy to install a cover and then take for granted that it will always work.
The covers we provide are high-quality products and will do an excellent job of covering your pool. However, like any electrical appliance, having them checked regularly (and any issues dealt with) is the key to ensuring a long life.
Not only does this stop small problems becoming large ones by acting fast to fix any faults, but it provides peace of mind that your cover will continue to work and provide the safety barrier that your pool needs.
This is why we don’t just offer the covers, but provide a service that includes two visits a year to clean the pool and inspect the appliances to ensure all is working well and to fix any issues that arise.
Problems that can be tackled by such inspections and maintenance include:
- Thorough cleaning can prevent pollution and poor hygiene
- Any loose fittings can be tightened
- Areas of wear and tear can be addressed
Not only will this help to enhance the immediate performance of the pool cover and ensure it is at its best, but it can also help to extend the life of the cover.
How Long Should Swimming Pool Covers Last?
Typically, covers last for five to seven years, but some can last for ten years or even longer.
This will depend on several factors. The first and most important of them is the quality of the product to begin with. As we provide high-quality covers, you have every reason to expect them to last a long time.
Climate, pollution levels and how much they are used will also have an impact, but maintenance is a crucial factor.
It is this combination of high quality and regular maintenance that should give you the assurance that your pool cover will function well for much longer than the average, providing you with value for money and a clean, safe pool for many years.
