When you decide to buy a pool, you’ll work with a “pool guy”
and choose the materials s/he decides to carry. There are SO many small pieces that make up your pool and you
will have NO idea where they came from or why they were chosen by your pool store. Putting together the right pieces can make your pool safe, beautiful, and
efficient.
When it comes to pool covers, no pool store is going to carry every type/grade of cover available; they pick and choose cover manufacturers for varying reasons. Out of the covers the store decides to bring in, they present you with your "options".
I have seen beautiful homes with beautiful pools and not so beautiful pool covers. I didn't understand why some home owners would put so much money into creating a magnificent pool and then skimp on a decent pool cover! The truth is, the better options were not available to the home owner. In the scheme of things, you're spending thousands on this pool - what's an extra $200 or so upgrade for something that's really going to benefit your investment, time, and more importantly, keep your family safe? You need to know the best so you can demand the best.

A safety pool cover should be in place for many reasons:
1) It protects people, children, pets and other animals (wild critters) from falling into the pool.
2) It protects your pool from junk that can land or blow into your pool, and possibly ruin the structure or create a hole in a vinyl liner or crack in fiberglass or concrete pools.
3) A cover saves you time when you open the pool in the Spring. It keeps out leaves and other rubbish you will have to clean out at the beginning of the swim season.
4) It will conserve pool water which can be an expensive replenishment.

As wonderful as safety pool covers are, there are ADDED BENEFITS when you purchase a Merlin SmartMesh safety pool cover. It is an industry innovation with exclusive mesh that lets water through while providing 100% shade to significantly reduce algae growth which will save you time when it comes to open your pool.
The SmartMesh cover will filter debris as small as 40 microns - smaller than a grain of sand. This means, as it lets water or melting snow through, it will keep dirt run off & debris on top the cover, blocking it from getting into your pool. The cover literally acts as a pool filter!
SmartMesh is a light material, approximately 40% lighter than a standard solid cover - this makes it very easy to put on and take off. While SmartMesh is lightweight, it features a high burst strength, tear strength, and is abrasion resistant. Competitors have been trying to copy this material but it's only available from Merlin Industries. These one of a kind covers are backed by a 15 year warranty!
