Swimming pool safety covers are essential for protecting children and pets from accidental drowning and debris from entering the pool when not in use. Two prominent brands in the safety cover market are Coverseal and Coverstar, both of which offer high-quality safety solutions that meet strict standards for pool safety. Thames Pool Care is a distributor and installer of both systems.
Coverseal Safety Covers
Coverseal safety covers are designed to provide both safety and durability. The covers are made from a high-strength material making them resistant to wear and tear from heavy foot traffic, UV rays and harsh weather conditions. A significant feature of Coverseal covers is their ability to provide a secure barrier over the pool. They are equipped with strong anchors and tensioning systems that keep the cover taut and securely fastened, preventing it from sagging or being easily dislodged. This minimises the risk of accidents by ensuring that no part of the cover can be easily moved or removed, even by children or animals.
One of the most important safety features of Coverseal is the prevention of pool access. The covers are designed to support the weight of an average-sized adult, which means that, in the unfortunate event someone steps on the cover, they are not at risk of falling into the pool. Additionally, Coverseal covers typically have a locking system for added security, ensuring that no unauthorised person can remove the cover without the key tab. The Coverseal system does not use the surface water cover pump, ensuring the finish and look of the cover on the pool is second to none. All Coverseal systems are deck mounted.
Coverstar Safety Covers
Coverstar is another leading USA brand focussed on safety, providing automatic and manual safety covers engineered for ease of use and reliable protection. Coverstar safety covers from Certikin are constructed with durable fabrics and reinforced stitching, ensuring they hold up under heavy weather conditions and usage. The covers are equipped with secure mechanical systems that automatically retract and deploy, eliminating the need for manual handling and making it more difficult for unauthorised individuals to tamper with the cover.
Coverstar covers are designed to support the weight of multiple people, including children and pets, which adds a critical layer of security. Their automatic systems ensure the cover is properly sealed, preventing accidental openings. Additionally, Coverstar offers customisable options, such as water drainage systems, which further enhance the cover’s ability to keep the pool clean and reduce the risk of water accumulation that might weaken the cover.
Coverseal and Coverstar covers are engineered to meet safety standards set by regulatory bodies such as the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Both brands prioritise ease of use and functionality while offering peace of mind, knowing that their covers are designed to keep loved ones safe.
