Safety Pool Cover or Safety Spa Cover- They Save Lives

The biggest benefit of a safety pool cover or safety spa cover is that they are the only barrier type that keep children and pets out of the pool water. In many areas with strict safety laws, our safety pool covers are recognized as a replacement for a second fence-they are more attractive too!

Our safety pool covers are so strong, they support the weight of several adults. Two thirds of all drownings occur in unattended pools-most being children under the age of five. So improve child safety and increase drowning prevention by keeping your pool covered when not in use.

Pool Safety Advice and Tips

• There is no substitute for constant adult supervision. Most drownings occur during a five minute or less lapse in supervision. Never leave a child unattended!
• Pool Covers, Inc. recommends layers of protection, of which our safety pool cover is one layer.
• Do not consider children water safe just because they have had swimming lessons.
• Beware of free-floating bubble-type covers. A child can slip beneath one unnoticed.
• Install a telephone poolside with emergency telephone numbers permanently posted, as well as your home address.
• Always take the pool cover completely off the pool before swimming. A partially covered pool can be a hazard.
• Instruct baby sitters about the potential backyard hazards.
