When installing a safety pool cover, pool owners should be aware of a few issues that often arise. First, safety pool covers will usually have a great amount of tension on the springs and anchors at first. Pool owners should be aware that this tension will go away once the safety pool cover’s material relaxes. Once the safety cover is installed, pool owners should be diligent in keeping large amounts of leaves and snow from resting on the safety cover for an extended period of time. This can be done with a hose or leaf blower. Although safety pool covers typically have high weight capacities, it is best not to put consistently large amounts of pressure on them.
