There are three types of pool covers: automatic pool safety covers, mesh pool safety covers, and solid pool safety covers.
These three types of pool covers have different advantages.
The cost of an automatic pool cover is relatively high, with an average installation cost ranging from $10,000 to $20,000. It is considered a higher-cost option, but it is commonly found in high-end residences or hotels.
Effectively prevent dirt and debris
Convenient for use during swimming season and off-season
Keep children away from the pool
More durable compared to other options
The cost of a mesh safety cover is very low compared to an automatic pool cover. It primarily depends on the size, material, and shape of the cover, as well as its quality. Prices range from $800 to $1500. There are many advantages to using a mesh safety cover, which can also help save costs.
Prevent leaves and debris from entering
Capable of supporting heavy weight, including snow
No need for a cover pump
Can last for 10-15 years
Solid pool covers, like mesh safety covers, are popular and widely used in the market. Solid pool covers are solid in structure and cost between $1000 and $3000. They have a slightly higher installation cost compared to mesh safety covers and require a cover pump.
Prevent sunlight and inhibit algae growth
Keep water and branches out
Can last for 5-10 years
