During the winter season pool owners are often discussing about  
[http://www.covernightpools.com/ winter pool cover]. Few pool owners  
are thinking of upgrading their standard pool cover to some more  
standard and secured swimming pool cover. This is quite understandable  
for a pool owner,considering you have poor type of cover that needs a  
pump on top to keep any water off and you have no idea how long will  
your cover last,lucky for you if it lasted for like two to three  
years. If your a caring pool owner and you want to have a pool cover  
for this season you should first know what are these im talking about.

This [http://www.overnightpools.com/ winter pool covers] are of two types:

*Mesh Cover
> This type of cover typically cost less. Last longer with a lifespan  
> of 10-15 years. Mesh covers do not pumps on top,they just let the  
> pool water pass through. This cover generally requires no work  
> during off season. With their light-weight material, mesh covers can  
> be taken on and off by one person in most cases, unlike solid covers  
> which generally require at least two persons to take on and off.

*Solid Cover
> The main advantage to a solid vinyl winter pool cover is the fact  
> that it does not allow sunlight to pass through.This is also why  
> people with mesh security covers tend to open up their pools a  
> little earlier before it gets too warm than those with solid covers.  
> Along with keeping sunlight out, solid vinyl covers keep water out  
> of the pool as well. For example, when leaves fall on your pool  
> cover during the winter and it rains, the leaves will cause the rain  
> water to become very dirty. With a mesh cover, the dirty water will  
> just pass right on through to the pool water, whereas with a solid  
> cover it will be kept out, allowing the pool water to stay much  
> cleaner.
