Types of winter pool covers

Winter is coming! Is your pool ready? Not sure. If you plan to close down your pool during winter, a winter pool cover is essential to help prevent your water pool from dirt and debris from pilling inside and provide safety for your cute children and pets.
Here are some option covers to choose from

Safety covers 

Safety covers usually cost a little more than standard winter pool covers, and installation demands more labor. Most swimming pool owners find it worth the extra cost. If properly maintained and stored, they can stay longer than three years. Safety covers are tough to keep unwatched kids and pets from accidentally falling into the pool. However, there are two types of safety covers 
Solid safety covers: a strong, durable solid pool safety cover that can withstand heavy winters. It can block sunlight to prevent algae from growing. The disadvantage of this safety cover is entirely dependable, and there is no place for ice to melt or pass through, and you will be forced to pump excess water to keep the cover free from excess moisture. 
Mesh safety covers: protects your pool from debris and dirt, and it is deceptively strong. A mesh of heavy duty straps holds it up. The advantage of using a mesh safety cover is it allows water to pass through, and therefore, there is no water pump required. The mesh design can withstand thousands of pounds, and you can use it all winter long with no worries. The disadvantage of it is it does not block sunlight, and it can inhibit algae growth.

With just a touch of a button, the retractable cover made of super fabric keeps the sun, debris people, and your pets away from falling and inhibiting your pool. Unlike traditional covers, this one you can operate with a touch of a button or a remote anywhere you are in the world if you have a smart home.
When it comes to safety, it has five stars since nothing can pass through, whether inside or outside. Unfortunately, an automatic swimming pool cover is not right for all pools. They do not fit pools with unusual shapes. Another disadvantage is automatic swimming pool covers are expensive to install, and they require to be replaced after every 6-8 years.
