Fall and winter in Denton and surrounding counties may draw a pool owner’s attention away from the back yard pool at a time where proper maintenance can be critical. Falling tree foliage, wind-blown debris and sudden freezes are part of the north Texas way of life. Pool covers are an important consideration for pool owners all over the north Texas region.
We typically tell customers who are considering winter pool care options that if they have a leaf problem in the fall, a mesh cover is probably the best option. covers have become increasingly popular in recent years. Mesh covers allow water to pass through but catch the leaves. Although the leaves will still have to be removed from the top of the mesh cover, the cover keeps the majority of the leaves from getting into the pool. A properly installed mesh cover (which resembles a trampoline-look over your pool) allows you to blow the leaves off the cover. If safety is a concern, a mesh cover is an excellent choice. In addition, they are fairly easy to take on and off once they are initially installed. The disadvantages of a mesh pool cover are that the pump must still run periodically and chemicals must be added periodically.
