Depending on where you live, pool season may be coming to an end (we’re sorry!!). If you are preparing to close your pool for the year, you have likely considered a cover. But what type of cover do you buy? Today we will take a look at winter cover vs safety cover to determine which option is best suited for your needs.
Winter Covers

Winter Covers provide you with a great way to keep your pool healthy, clean, and running smoothly through the fall and winter seasons. Winter covers work with both above ground or in ground swimming pools. Using a winter cover protects your pool from dirt and debris, blocks sunlight to fend off algae growth, and help keep children and pets out of the pool.
Winter Cover Pros:
- Very affordable
- Can be uses on both in-ground and above ground pools
- No need to drill anchor points around your pool (like with safety cover)
- Reduces evaporation
- Prevents pet access
- Lowers chemical use
- Keeps pool free from debris
- Easy opening in the spring
Winter Cover Cons:
- Does not last as long as safety cover
- Does not provide the same level as safety for children
