If you are unfamiliar with inground pool covers, they are pretty basic and simple.
They are mostly made up of a vinyl material and are very lightweight.
They will cover the entire length and width of your pool.
Depending on where you live in the United States, you will need one to keep the leaves for filling up your pool.
If that happens, it could really lead to major problems with your filter system.
Leaves could cause blockage and even ruin you pump.
One of the more obvious reason to start looking at inground pool covers is that cleanup will take a while during the spring as well.
Just think of how many leaves and debris that you will have to move out before you start using your pool.
So you should really save yourself a weekends worth of work and start shopping for indoor pool covers immediately.
You will have a decision to make though.
Do you want a fully manual cover, semi-automatic, or automatic cover.
As you can see, you really have 3 choices when deciding on one of the inground pool covers that are on the market.
A manual cover is just that, it usually takes 2 people to pull it the length of the pool so that the entire water area is covered.
Once down, you can then click the cover to hold it in place.
While any of the manual inground pool covers are more difficult to use, they are your most cost effective option.
Now a semi automatic cover will involve some manual work but not as much as with the manual inground pool covers.
While it is on a roll, you will have to guide the cover over the pool.
It really is much easier and usually one person is all that is need to operate a semi-automatic pool cover.
It is a bit more costly then the manual cover but is is well worth the price.
