Are pool safety covers worth it?

Solid safety covers won't allow sunlight to enter into the pool. As mentioned above, this is good because it keeps unwanted algae from growing in the water. Solid vinyl covers (without drain panels) will also keep contaminated water out of the pool.

How much does it cost to install a pool safety cover?

Even low-end safety covers cost at least $400-$500, and high-end models can cost $2,000 or more because they involve intricate, spring-loaded strapping systems.

How much do pool safety covers cost?

A solid (vinyl) security cover costs $1,200–$3,000. It needs a pump on top, keeps out debris and water, and lasts 6–10 years. An automatic cover costs $5,000–$15,000.

How much do custom pool covers cost?

Generally, custom covers cost anywhere between $1200 – $4000, with smaller covers costing somewhat less, and larger, more complicated covers costing somewhat more. The mesh covers are the least expensive and the solid covers cost more due to the cover material used.
