Caring for Your Meyco Pool Cover: A Comprehensive Guide

As a proud pool owner, you know that keeping your pool pristine and protected is a year-round commitment. One essential component in achieving this is using a reliable pool cover, like those from Meyco. 

Known for their durability and superior design, Meyco pool covers offer top-notch protection. However, to get the most out of your investment, proper care and maintenance are crucial. 

At B&B Pool and Spa, we’re dedicated to helping you maximize the lifespan and effectiveness of your pool cover. So, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on how to care for your pool cover. Let’s jump in!

1. Clean Regularly 

Keeping your pool cover clean is the first step in ensuring it stays in excellent condition. Over time, debris such as leaves, twigs, and dirt, can accumulate on the cover. To clean it effectively:

• Remove Debris: Use a soft-bristle broom or a leaf blower to clear off any surface debris. Be gentle to avoid damaging the cover material.
• Rinse with Water: After removing the loose debris, rinse the cover with a garden hose to wash away any remaining dirt or dust. Avoid using high-pressure washers, as they can damage the fabric.
• Mild Detergent Solution: For stubborn stains or mildew, prepare a solution of mild detergent and water. Using a soft brush or sponge, gently scrub the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.

2. Store Properly

When the swimming season is over and it’s time to store your pool cover, proper storage techniques will help maintain its integrity:

• Dry Completely: Ensure the cover is completely dry before storing it. This prevents mold and mildew growth.
• Fold Neatly: Fold the cover neatly, following the creases from its original packaging. Avoid sharp folds that can weaken the fabric.
• Storage Location: Store the cover in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Using a storage bag or container will offer added protection against pests and environmental elements.

3. Inspect for Damage

Regular inspections are key to catching any damage early and preventing further deterioration. Here’s what to look for:

• Check for Tears and Holes: Small tears or holes can be repaired with a patch kit, which is often available from the manufacturer. Larger damages might require professional repair or replacement.
• Inspect Straps and Springs: Ensure that all straps, springs, and anchors are in good condition. Replace any worn or damaged parts to maintain the cover’s effectiveness.

4. Seasonal Adjustments

Depending on the season, your pool cover might require different levels of care:

• Winter Care: During the winter months, regularly check for snow accumulation. Use a soft broom to gently remove heavy snow to prevent the cover from sagging or tearing.
• Spring Opening: When opening your pool in the spring, clean the cover before removing it to prevent debris from falling into the pool.

5. Avoid Chemicals

While it might be tempting to use harsh chemicals to clean your pool cover, it’s best to avoid them. Chemicals can weaken the fabric and reduce the lifespan of the cover. Stick to mild detergents and water for cleaning purposes.

6. Consider Professional Assistance

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, professional assistance might be needed. Don’t hesitate to contact your pool professional for expert advice on pool cover services.
