Should You Get an Automatic Pool Cover?
Absolutely, with out a doubt, YES!! When planning your purchase for an inground fiberglass pool, be sure to include an automatic pool cover in your budget! An auto cover will keep your pool sparkling clean. It is imperative when you have trees around your pool. Debris from the trees can alter your pool chemistry as well. This is a huge help in maintaining your pool. It saves time and money. A auto cover also eliminates evaporation from your pool. Your auto cover can double as a winter cover, again saving money. It has been said that an auto cover can pay itself back within 2-3 years.
All these cost benefits are not to be outdone by the SAFETY a winter cover offers. When the pool is not in use, it will secure the pool from pets, non-swimmers, and small children. In recent legislation changes, if an auto cover is present, a fence is not required. Please check with your local ordinances.
One thing to consider when purchasing an auto cover is whether you prefer the tracks to be hidden. Our free-form pools will require the track to be exposed on the deck.
All in all, we highly recommend an auto cover with the purchase of your inground pool.
