Which winter cover should I get??

I did a lot of research in the spring on this exact topic. I ended up putting a down payment on a ultra-loc cover. Its made by loop-loc but its a step up from their regular full mesh saftey cover. Its the mix of a solid AND mesh cover. It allows water to drain through mesh panals in the center, but the rest of the cover is a solid so you won't get the sunlight coming in that leads to green pool in the spring. I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the ultra-loc. Plus it comes with a 12 year warrenty. We have young children so its important to us to have a cover that will keep the pool SAFE as well as clean.

www.looploc.com for more information.

Also, there are merlin safety covers, they are supposed to be VERY similar to loop-loc but they have a neat filter within the mesh to help keep out small dirt particles.

Good luck! I can't wait to have mine installed this fall!

I knew this would be the right time to post this question, while the event of opening the pool was fresh in our minds. Thanks for the information. I am still not sure which one to get. The one with the ultra fine mesh looks like a good prospect. I am going to be shopping for a do it yourself kit so if you have any recomendations about a good discount supplier who doesn't mind a phone call for help from a panicked homeowner please let me know.
