Keep Leaves and Debris out with the Top 7 Best Pool Covers

Our first contender for the best pool covers for above ground pools comes from Pool Mate. This cover will protect your pool during harsh winter conditions.

One of the things that we love about this cover is that its heavy-duty polyethylene material stops algae growth. It does this by preventing UV rays from entering the pool.

This is a solid pool cover, so it will block out dirt and debris.

If you use this cover and close your pool with proper winterizing chemicals, you will have an easy time opening a clean pool in the spring. We recommend opening your pool by mid-May to prevent algae growth.

This cover is available in many different sizes. And it features a 5-foot overlap. It should float comfortably on the water.

The Pool Mate cover comes with water tube loops. You should use the loops with water tubes, which you can purchase separately.

We also love the lightweight material that is more durable than other covers because all of the seams are heat-sealed for optimal performance.

This cover also comes with a 10-year warranty.

The next spot on our list of the best pool covers goes to Blue Wave. The first thing that we love about this one is that it retains heat. This cover features insulating thermal cells that trap heat and retain warmth even on cool cloudy days.

This solar blanket uses UV-protected polymer, which means that the cover is resistant to deterioration caused by pool chemicals and UV radiation.

This cover’s innovative technology can raise the temperature of your pool by up to 15 degrees Fahrenheit.

And the thermal bubbles will retain the warmth even after the sun goes down. That means that you can swim comfortably even at night or on cloudy days.

The Blue Wave cover optimizes heat retention thanks to the opaque, blue color, which allows the most sunlight to reach your pool.

It also reduces evaporation. This cover will prevent up to 95 percent of chemical and pool water evaporation. This means that it’s not only environmentally friendly, but it will also save you time and money.

This cover is available in many different sizes, and it comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty.

No conversation about the best pool covers would be complete without mentioning Intex. This solar pool cover will help to keep your pool water warmer.

The Intex cover is solid and will protect your pool from dirt, leaves, and debris.

One unique thing about this cover is that it is designed with central drainage holes. This is especially nice because it keeps rainwater from pooling on the cover.

Another thing that we love about the Intex solar cover is that it is lightweight and super easy to use. You just place the cover inside the walls of your pool and let it float to the surface.

When it comes to sizing, this one comes in many different options, but they are all circular and meant to fit Easy Set and framed pools.

This cover will also reduce evaporation by up to 95 percent.

We also love that this cover comes with a convenient carrying bag, which makes storing and transporting a breeze. You should always make sure that you dry the cover before putting it in the carrying bag.

Loop-Loc is the next contender on our list of the best pool covers this year. This cover will fit a 20-foot by 40-foot pool. The cover will be slightly larger.

All of the hardware required for cement installation comes with this cover.

One of the things that we love about this cover is that it is made of a new, thicker weave, which blocks nearly all of the sun’s rays from reaching your pool water.

But even as it blocks out the sun, it will still let in rainwater and snow, so you don’t have to worry about the cover breaking. You should consider this cover if you’re looking for less light and debris getting into your pool.

This cover system is strong enough to support the weight of your whole family.

The Loop-Loc cover is one of the strongest and most durable on the market this year. It’s also one of the safest.

Water Warden makes another of the best pool covers this year. The first thing that we love about this cover is that it is super safe. It’s triple-stitched and double-strapped on the top and bottom. That double strapping adds a second layer of durability and protection.

We love that this cover protects your in-ground pool from harsh winter conditions in just one step.

This cover features a lightweight mesh along with two-ply webbing. That means that it will trap all twigs, leaves, and other debris, while still allowing rainwater to seep through.

Another thing that we love about this cover is that it comes with a heavy-duty hardware kit. The hardware comes from finely crafted materials, including stainless steel, solid brass, and heavy-duty aluminum.

Water Warden designed the D-ring springs to eliminate the need for buckles.

You’ll also love that this pool safety cover can block out almost 100 percent of the sunlight. That means that you won’t get algae growth in your swimming pool. You’ll be very happy about that when you open your pool in the spring!

This cover will fit a pool that measures 20 feet by 40 feet.

Last up on our list of the best pool covers this year is the cover by Yard Guard.

This high-quality in-ground pool safety cover features porous, tight mesh that keeps out all debris and silt, while still allowing rainwater and snow to seep through.

One of the things that we love about this one is that it is resistant to mildew, rot,

UV, and damage that can be caused by your pool water.

This cover also features triple-stitched white thread at all of the perimeter stress points. For added strength, straps run on both the top and bottom of the cover.

And on top of that, reinforced webbing on the top and bottom of every seam assure that it is super safe and strong. The rub strips on the seams will also protect your pool’s surface.

This cover is built to withstand many years of wear and tear.

Another thing that we love about this cover is that it features modern cover technology with a computerized shaping and cutting system that assures the best quality.

This cover also comes with a 15-year warranty.
