Spring is here, and that means one thing – it's time to get your pool ready for summer! But before you can launch into the fun of floating around in warm water all day long, you need to make sure your pool is properly covered. Here's how to install an automatic pool cover, so you don't have to worry about a thing!
When considering how to install an automatic pool cover, there are a few different types to choose from. Pool covers can be mechanical or solar-powered, and depending on your needs, you may want to choose one over the other.
Mechanical pool covers work by using weights and sensors to determine when the pool is covered and when it is not. These covers can be manually opened or closed, and are generally more expensive than solar-powered pool covers.
Solar-powered automatic pool covers use a battery to power a motor that opens and closes the cover according to preset parameters. This type of cover is cheaper than mechanical ones but requires regular maintenance because the battery will eventually need to be replaced.
Next, purchase the correct size automatic pool cover and attach it to the bottom of your pool using screws or bolts. Finally, find the automatic pool cover's activation time and program it into your alarm system or timer.
