How to Extend the Lifespan of Your Pool Safety Cover: Maintenance and Care Tips

1. Regular Cleaning

Dirt, leaves, and debris can accumulate on your pool cover, affecting its performance. It’s essential to clean your cover regularly, ideally once a week. Use a soft brush or a hose to gently remove any debris, ensuring the cover remains clean and free of harmful buildup.

2. Check Tension Regularly

Over time, your pool safety cover may loosen. Loose covers not only compromise safety but also wear out faster. Regularly inspect the tension of your cover and adjust the tension system as needed to keep it taut and secure.

3. Avoid Heavy Loads

While JTW pool safety covers are designed to hold significant weight, it’s best to avoid placing heavy objects on the cover for extended periods. This reduces unnecessary strain on the material and prevents potential stretching or damage.

4. Proper Storage During Off-Seasons

When your pool isn’t in use during the off-season, store your pool safety cover correctly. Clean it thoroughly, allow it to dry, then fold and store it in a cool, dry place. This helps prevent damage from moisture, mold, or excessive sun exposure during storage.

5. Protect from Pool Chemicals

Exposure to pool chemicals can deteriorate the cover over time. Ensure that your pool cover is not overly exposed to harsh chemicals, particularly near the edges where it comes into contact with pool water.

Conclusion: Proper Maintenance, Extended Lifespan

With the right maintenance routine—regular cleaning, tension checks, and proper storage—you can significantly extend the life of your pool safety cover. At JTW, our covers are built to last, but a little care will ensure you get the best performance and longevity from your investment.
