Are you one of the over 10 million residential swimming pool owners in America? If so, you may be interested in investing in a pool cover to help keep the water clean and warm but are hesitating because you find them cumbersome and unsightly. However, there are solutions: Inground covers.

What Are Inground Covers for Swimming Pools?

Inground covers are pool blankets that are installed onto a rolling mechanism that sits directly into the pool deck. Ideally, these systems are designed during the planning of your pool deck, but your pool cover supplier may be able to find a solution that will allow you to benefit from the aesthetic advantage of an inground pool cover storage system.

How Do Inground Covers for Swimming Pools Work?

The storage system consists of an underground storage chamber on your pool deck. The chamber houses the pool cover and the pool cover roller mechanism. Both can be concealed and are completely out of sight when not in use. This protects them from the elements and the sun while also preserving the aesthetic beauty of your deck and backyard oasis. The inground system also provides an unobstructed view of the pool for enhanced water safety while limiting tripping hazards on the deck.

On the top models of inground covers for swimming pools, the storage chamber closes flat both when the cover is extended over the pool and when it is rolled away. Plus, the roller will have a specially designed mechanism that allows for one-person operation and complete extension or retraction in one minute or less! When the cover is retracted, it will completely disappear inside the storage unit and can remain in the unit year-round.

The most effective inground covers are custom-made to fit the exact shape of your swimming pool. This offers a snug fit when it is in place over the water. This is particularly important when the cover is a solar blanket because complete, snug coverage offers the best results for maintaining a pool’s temperature without relying on heaters. This, of course, saves you money and prevents evaporation, which limits your need for chemicals. Plus, when your pool is well covered, there is less debris to skim out before you can jump in and enjoy the water.

A Safety Consideration

Properly installed inground covers for swimming pools can be very difficult to see. Therefore it is important to have a fence around your inground pool deck and be careful about deck use while the pool is covered. In certain jurisdictions, including the state of New York, 4-foot-high pool fences are legally mandatory.
