Types of Swimming
Pool Cover: There are several types of pool cover, all serve a purpose so here are the different types:
Summer Swimming pool Cover. Summer covers are a floating cover made from a polyethylene usually treated against UV rays in a bubble format.
The covers are available usually in an economy, deluxe and prestige grade which would include a sewn edge to the covers with eyelets, some are black to reduce algae growth and most are used in conjunction with a summer cover roller to store the cover on a daily basis when the pool is in use.
Example prices, Rectangular Pool Covers Economy covers (rectangular) From €5.60 per Sq mtr Standard Covers (rectangular) From €6.20 per Sq mtr Prestige Covers (rectangular) From €6.80 per Sq mtr
Winter Swimming Pool Covers. Winter pool covers are usually much heavier and used to completely cover the pool for winterisation. They are normally black or green in colour, treated against UV rays, reinforced with fibres of polyester and have eyelets to take elastic straps to fix the cover into place. A perforated section in the centre of the cover will allow rainwater to go into the pool and not weigh down the cover. Normally secured with stainless steel pins into the surrounding terrace. If your winter cover is not AFNOR approved you may need to change it if you have no other form of pool security such as a barrier.
The winter cover is the best way to keep your pool water as clean as possible until you reopen the pool for the season. N.B. Winter covers are not a suitable AFNOR approved safety product unless sold as such. Example prices, Rectangular Pool Covers Standard covers (rectangular) From €14.00 per Sq mtr
Security Pool Covers. Since 1st January 2004 it has been law in France that all new swimming pools and swimming pools used as a collective pool (gite or holiday home) must have an approved security system in place. A security cover is one of the four suitable systems. All security covers must be manufactured in accordance with NF P 90-308. From 1st Jan 2005 ALL POOLS in France must have a security system Security pool covers are available in the same format as a winter pool cover and usually have aluminium bars ever meter or so down their length to give the extra support of a pool security cover. These covers are heavy and normally require a winding tool to roll or unroll the cover.
Other types of cover include pool covers which automatically close across the pool, are constructed from PVC and roll up either above or below ground at the end of the pool and can even be solar powered. There are versions available operated manually and electrically, a choice of blade colour and even translucent blades which double as a solar heating system.
The Main advantage of these covers apart from the obvious aesthetic benefits is the fact that they do the job of a summer and winter cover as well as being an approved security system, they float on the waters surface or run in specially fitted channels in the wall of the pool. N.B. IF A SECURITY COVER IS THE ONLY FORM OF SECURITY ON YOUR POOL IT MUST BE PUT BACK ON THE POOL WHEN IT IS LEFT UNATTENDED. EVERY TIME! Example prices, Rectangular Pool Covers Please tell us the overall size of your pool we allow around 200mm either side of the pool and we will price on the information you provide.
