Super dense mesh is manufactured with a denser weave that blocks virtually all sunlight but still lets rain and melting snow easily drain through. It is the perfect choice for customers who want less light and debris in their pools, but still want the protection of the only pool cover proven safe and strong enough to support an elephant! Other 99% mesh covers on the market become clogged and must be scrubbed down in order to drain properly, or the manufacturer also recommends using an automatic cover pump. Avoid the hassle by purchasing LOOP-LOC's super dense mesh: no scrubbing, no pumps.

One of the main benefits of a mesh pool cover is that it allows rain, snow, and ice to melt and drain into the pool, preventing water from collecting on top of the cover. On the other hand, a solid cover will allow rain, snow, and ice to accumulate on top and will require a pump to remove standing water.

A typical solid vinyl pool cover is little more than a tarp to put over your pool. It does not prevent children or pets from gaining access to the pool. All safety covers must conform to the Standard Performance Specification set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). According to the ASTM, a safety cover must be able to support a certain amount of weight, not permit gaps that a child or pet could squeeze through, and remove standing water. Our safety pool covers far exceed minimum ASTM standards. Built from extremely strong material and secured tightly to the deck by heavy-duty springs and brass anchors, our safety covers put a "lock" on a pool that will prevent children and pets from gaining access to the water.

First, make sure it says "LOOP-LOC" on your contract when you order. Then, examine your cover when it arrives. All LOOP-LOC covers (including ULTRA-LOC) have the LOOP-LOC name woven right into the straps. If you don't see LOOP-LOC on the cover, it's not a LOOP-LOC!

All LOOP-LOC mesh and solid safety pool covers come with a 15-year pro-rated manufacturer's warranty. When completed and signed by the original purchaser, this warrants that the cover is free from defects in material and workmanship under normal use, when installed by a qualified swimming pool professional.

If any cover is found to have defects in materials or workmanship within the first 25 months of service LOOP-LOC will furnish a replacement cover, or at our option, repairing any part or parts at no charge to the consumer. After the 25 month period has elapsed the customer will pay 1/156 for each month or part thereof since the original factory shipping date, of the current list price of the replacement cover. All repairs and replacements will be F.O.B. Pool Cover Corps plant and customers are responsible for shipping costs on repairs not covered by our warranty.

Please note any damage caused by animal damage, misuse, alteration, neglect, abuse, coping wear, drag holes, accidents, intense external thermal reaction, or if the water levels fall below the recommended levels stated in our care & maintenance instruction are not covered under the pro-rated warranty.

Of course, the main reason is safety. But it is also important to remember that price is a relative issue. A LOOP-LOC safety cover is built to last many, many years. In fact, LOOP-LOC covers often last many years longer than their 15-year warranty. Over that period of time, you would purchase and discard three or four ordinary pool covers.

In order for a LOOP-LOC to perform properly as a safety cover, the pool must be measured and the cover installed properly by a professional pool contractor. Loop-Loc Covers are only sold through pool dealers and pool service companies.

Not at all! The safety of the cover entirely depends on the quality of its materials and manufacturing. LOOP-LOC uses materials that are in many cases far superior to those used by competitors. For example, we use double perimeter webbing and double-thick straps, extremely high-strength 302 grade stainless steel springs, and polyester bonded thread that is up to 30% stronger than that used by our competitors. We also hand inspect every stitch on every cover – and even use contrasting white thread, so our inspectors can see instantly if a stitch is missed! LOOP-LOC's founder co-invented the safety pool cover and started this company for the single purpose of creating the highest quality, safest covers available.

Of course! Our experts will do everything possible to match up your existing anchor locations for a perfectly fitting Safety Swimming Pool Cover. But in certain cases please note that due to Loop-Loc strictly adhering to ASTM and U.L. certified guidelines certain anchors may need to be redrilled. You will be advised ahead of time if this needs to happen.
