If you have (or are thinking of getting) an inground pool, you’ve undoubtedly had to deal with stuff falling in the water.


Longtime pool owners know that the installation of a swimming pool is only the first step — every year, you’ll need to clean and maintain your pool and its many mechanical and chemical components, to ensure you can keep swimming in clean, healthy, comfortable water.

If you don’t have a pool cover, cleaning and maintenance can quickly become a major chore. Leaves will fall in the pool. Animals might lose their footing or otherwise be drawn by the allure of your pool’s sparkling water. Storms can wreak havoc on your pool’s delicate chemical balances. And that’s just the start...

You’ve got several options when it comes to solving the ongoing problem of detritus and unwanted contaminants falling into your pool.

Some pool owners buy automatic pool robots or hire professional pool maintenance services. Other owners rigorously maintain their pools on their own, testing chemicals and scooping out gunk on a regular basis.

But for many pool owners, a simpler solution is to install an automatic sliding deck pool cover.
