Swimming Pool Cover - Manufacturers, Suppliers & Exporters

600 micron pool cover 01Many people consider using pool covers for their inground or above ground pool (or spa) as it increases the value and return on your investment. When your pool cover is fitted, make sure the pool size is measured properly and the cover cut in properly so there are no gaps. It is common to make a pool cover up to 75 mm larger on each side so it forms a lip around the entire edge. Gaps in the edging will reduce the overall efficiency that the pool cover can offer.

When using the pool, make sure the pool cover is stored away from sunlight and rolled up properly. The added expense of a pool roller will not onlyhelp your pool blanket last longer, but it also makes removal and refitting a lot easier.


Lastly make sure your chemical levels are not allowed to go too high, as prolonged exposed to high chemical levels will shorten the life of all pool covers. Chlorine levels should not exceed 1.5 to 2.0 ppm for unstabilised pools and 3.0 ppm for stabilised pools (source SPASA pool cover fact sheet,http://www.spasa.org.au/images/stories/SPASA/factsheets/2014facts/FS6.pdf) . Also never super chlorinate with the pool cover on, leave the cover off until level return to normal. Automatic chlorine dosers should also be run at a reduced rate.
