Arctic Vortex Safety Pool Cover

This cover is sized at 16' x 30', which includes the necessary 2-foot overlap on all sides. This extra material is essential for securing the cover properly to your deck using the included anchors and springs.

The two-ply mesh is specifically designed to let water drain through into the pool, which prevents heavy standing water from pooling on top of the cover. This drainage feature helps maintain the cover's structural integrity and prevents it from sagging under the weight of precipitation.

Yes, this cover is engineered for safety and exceeds a 4,000 lbs break strength. It meets ASTM F 1346-91 safety standards, meaning it is designed to prevent accidental entry into the pool, though it should never be used as a play surface.

The cover comes with a complete installation kit, including brass anchors and stainless-steel springs. You will need to drill holes into your pool deck to install the anchors, so you should have a hammer drill and a masonry bit appropriate for your deck material ready before you begin.

The fine mesh design is excellent at blocking leaves and larger debris. While it will significantly reduce the amount of dirt and smaller particles that enter the water, some very fine silt may pass through over time, which is standard for mesh-style safety covers.

Because it is a mesh cover, it is largely low-maintenance. We recommend checking the tension of the springs periodically throughout the season to ensure the cover remains taut and secure, especially after heavy storms.
