pool cover

Hello, Couple issues with opening pool this year: 1. The cover has been torn bad this past winter. Just wondering what my options are, a quick call to my nearby pool cover company quoted me at 6k just based on photos and measurement of it. I went to amazon saw this...

What’s a fair price to have my loop loc cover replaced? Pool company quoted me at 3500$ the new cover will fit the existing anchors so no additional installation is required. It will be a solid cover (not mesh) Current cover picture attached for reference Thanks all

Hi, my looploc ripped yesterday. I was moving the pool cover pump with a pole, and my foot went over the edge of the pool wall slightly and next thing I knew my foot upto my knee went straight through the pool cover. It was definitely terrifying and could've been worse so I'm glad I'm ok. I...

I am in the market for a pool cover and had what I thought was a healthy budget for this. The quote I got for a Loop-Loc cover was 2X+ what I was even imagining for the high end and that has me questioning the entire pool cover industry. When I look through past, but semi-recent threads here...

Hey everybody, first time posting here. I have a 24 foot x 12 foot x 4 foot oval above ground pool and a mesh winter cover I use during the year. I am very late to opening my pool but began this week and noticed the water level is very low. I'd say about a foot to a foot and a half lower than it...

Hello, having a problem with raccoons using our pool as a toilet, and struggling with the best way to cover it and still be able to use it. The pool is small enough that I could essentially just place two foldable spa covers on top of it each night, which I think would work, but my (admittedly...

Our PB says that we won't be able to use auto pool cover if we do a rolled edge (this is the image of the rolled edge I shared with the PB) for the spa (spa is inside the pool perimeter). The PB said that the rolled edge does not allow for room under the coping for the cover track. Instead, they...

Anyone use a Doheneys brand or similar mesh pool cover? We do not have little kids and no pets to get on the pool in winter- just need to keep the leaves and sunlight out. Currently have a loop loc that I think needs to be replaced(in another forum discussion) -

We have a ipool3 around 3 years now in Northern California. So far we are on the 3rd pool covers (one standard, 2 deluxe covers & price hiked). The ipool covers do not fit the ipool with ladder at all. When it rains, dirty cover water drains into the pool. (Lucky not much rain untill now)...

Hello! Our PB just told us that they have tried 8 different times to get a hold of Coverstar to price a pool cover from them, and when they finally got through to them, it was the same kind of challenge to get pricing from them. They have been at this for over 2 months and are concerned about...

I’ve heard that it’s not a good idea to use something other than a pool pillow under your cover when winterizing the pool. I’ve read that there are pro-pool pillow people and those who don’t use them at all. We live in NJ and I strongly feel that we hav to put something under the cover, but I’m...

Thanks in advance! I am looking into swapping out the solar cover or net cover that we've used in previous summers. We live in a wooded area so unfortunately get a ton of debris which leads to me cleaning the pool while in in vs enjoying it. The other day I had a thought. What is...

I'm looking for suggestions about likely causes for this. The cover engages to close (though it's already closed - hmm) but there is no sound at all when I try to open. The key-switch is fine - I confirmed continuity down both legs - and obviously the system has power since it will try to close...

The previous owners left a pool cover for me, but because of the combination of COVID lockdowns and renovations that were going on, the cover was left on for approximately 3 weeks after settlement and so it got damaged by the sun. I have some photos of the pool cover and you can see that the air...

Hi, Does anyone have any experience with either the Anchor Inc 5-Star or Classic Solid Covers ( Browse Our Pool Covers | Anchor Industries ) . My pool guy recommended them and it's hard to find much info on them. Probably because when you search the brand Anchor, pool anchors come up instead of...

I have a Coleman 18x 48 above ground steel frame pool. The problem is the cover that came with is 'ok'... But.. It seems to be only just big enough to cover it and not enough big to go over the sides down far enough to maintain a good 'grab'on it before it lets go and starts falling back into...

Hi all. Currently under construction for a 16x36 rectangular inground pool. We will be putting pavers around the pool and our Loop Loc cover will anchor into the pavers. We will also be installing a removable fence around the pool. My question is…. Can we use the same anchors for both the...

I have an in ground pool with a tarp-like cover. Now that the snow has melted I’ve noticed a bunch of holes and tears in the cover. When i attempted to pump the water off of the cover i wound up pumping pool water out as well. The only idea i had so far was to switch from water bags to bungee...

Hello all! I'm a new pool owner and I'm wondering how much to spend on a pool cover. I've built the pool this spring and still have deck and water management issues to spend money on. Then the landscaping... So when I saw that Home Depot and other big stores sell pool covers for under $100 I...

Hello all , do those adhesive patches really last? I had someone patch mine in the past using patch/glue, seemed good...just looking for recommendations? Thanks!

Each spring (like now), nearby trees drop tiny seeds into my pool which results in black stains in the pool which must be scrubbed off (it's an epoxy painted pool, and it stains the paint for some days until it wears off). I already have a bird cage around the pool which keeps most leaves out...

My solar pool cover straps have been a problem for years - coming unglued from the reel, and half of those stupid clips don’t work. Just fixed them all in about 30 minutes. To attach the straps to the reel, remove the Velcro sections and clean off old glue with a solvent and paper towel. I...

I have a 32x16' in-ground pool and I have been looking for solution to the problem of covering the pool singlehandedly without getting a good amount of water on the cover. Before I commit to creating something from pool noodles & PVC pipes (along the lines of DIY Solar pool cover towing boom...

Hi all! It's been very cold in the NorthEast and I'm still not open! However last weekend, I tried to pump the water out of the cover , but I noticed, after a couple hours, my pool water was also going down! It seems the cover isn't "waterproof" ! No worries as it's been raining so much the...

Hello everybody. I just joined TFP since i am in the stage of planning an indoor pool. After reading a lot of posts in the forum and searching online i have some questions. 1) What type of chlorinacion is better for indoor pools? SWG or convencional chlorine system? I am also interested in not...

We have an inground pool with a coverstar automatic pool cover. It opens all the way and closes almost all the way. Once this cover gets to about a foot from closing completely it stops. I have cleaned out the tracks and I can’t find any reason why it won’t completely close. Any help would be...
