As pool season winds down, protecting your pool with a high-quality safety cover is essential. But with solid and mesh safety covers available, which one is the best choice for your pool? At GoCo Pools, we only use the highest-grade materials and offer warranties of up to 25 years, ensuring long-term protection and peace of mind. Let’s break down the pros and cons of each type to help you decide.
Solid Safety Covers
Solid covers are made from durable, non-permeable materials designed to completely block out sunlight, debris, and contaminants.
👍 Pros:
- Prevents Algae Growth – Since no sunlight gets through, algae can’t thrive, making for an easier pool opening.
- Keeps Out Debris & Dirt – Leaves, twigs, and even fine particles stay out of your pool.
- Better Water Quality – Reduces the need for chemicals and filtration work in the spring.
🤷♂️ Cons:
- Heavier & Harder to Handle – Solid covers require more effort to install and remove.
- Water Accumulation – Since they don’t allow water to drain through, you will need a cover pump to remove standing water (which is included through GoCo Pools).
Mesh Safety Covers
Mesh covers are made from a lightweight, porous material that allows water to drain through while keeping out large debris.
👍 Pros:
- Lighter & Easier to Manage – Less effort is required to install and remove compared to solid covers.
- No Water Accumulation – Rainwater and melted snow drain through, eliminating the need for a cover pump.
- Durable & Long-Lasting – High-quality mesh covers can last for decades with proper care.
🤷♂️ Cons:
- Allows Some Light & Debris Through – Fine particles and some sunlight may pass through, which can contribute to algae growth.
- Slightly More Pool Cleaning Required – Since some debris can get through, you might need extra cleaning at opening time.
Both styles provide excellent safety and provide peace of mind throughout winter.
