Replacing a pool cover does not need to be difficult but you should remember a few things. First, cover manufacturers and their products vary greatly. Some are made in the USA (ours) and some are made overseas. Our replacement pool safety covers (pin down) meet all ASTM F1346-91 requirements. We have independent lab tests to support county and state requirements. In some states, our brand is the only brand that has been approved by the building code department. This is due to our extensive documentation of ASTM guidelines. This is important to remember when replacing a pool cover.
Imported pool safety covers typically do not submit their covers to an independent lab for testing. This means you can’t be sure that the product meets ASTM standards. ASTM standard F1346-91 is a very specific reference developed to reduce the drownings of kids 5 years old and under. We invite you to reference https://www.astm.
When replacing your pool safety cover with us, you may (not often) get a cover back that has an extra strap. When this happens it may require an additional anchor (which we would provide). Why would this be the case? In the event that this occurs, more than likely it was our design engineers that saw your existing cover design had room for improvement. The additional strap makes your pool safety cover even safer than it was before. While this does not happen often, it does happen and it is part of our effort to make your pool as safe as possible.
The process to replace your pool cover is simple. It all starts with a call or inquiry to our team of pool safety cover experts. Let the experts at Replacement Pool Covers help!
