As the swimming season winds down, it's time to think about protecting your above ground pool for the winter months. EZ Pool & Spa Supply offers three excellent options: the Deluxe, Supreme, and Ultimate pool covers. Each cover has its own unique features and benefits, making them suitable for different climates and budgets. Let's dive into the details of each cover to help you make the best choice for your pool.

Deluxe Above Ground Pool Cover

The Deluxe cover is the most economical option, ideal for pool owners who prefer to replace their cover annually. This cover features:

• 8 Year Warranty
• 4’ Overlap
• 8 x 8 Weave
• Blue/Black color scheme
• Fabric Weight: 2.36 Oz/YD2
• 1.5" Binding

Best for: Mild climates with minimal debris and moderate winters. If you live in an area with gentle weather conditions and don't mind replacing your cover each year, the Deluxe cover offers excellent value for money.

Supreme Above Ground Pool Cover

The Supreme cover is a step up in quality and durability, making it a great choice for those seeking a long-lasting solution. Its features include:

• 12 Year Warranty
• 4’ Overlap
• 12 x 12 Weave
• Green/Black color scheme
• Fabric Weight: 3.26 Oz/YD2
• 1.5" Binding

Best for: Moderate climates with occasional harsh weather. The Supreme cover's enhanced weave and increased fabric weight make it more resistant to tearing and punctures, ideal for areas that experience some winter storms or higher levels of debris.

Ultimate Above Ground Pool Cover

The Ultimate cover is the top-of-the-line option, designed to withstand the harshest winter conditions. It boasts:

• 20 Year Warranty
• 4’ Overlap
• 14 x 14 Weave
• Black/Black color scheme
• Fabric Weight: 5.26 Oz/YD2
• 1.5" Binding

Best for: Severe winter climates with heavy snow and ice. The Ultimate cover's robust construction makes it the perfect choice for regions that experience prolonged periods of freezing temperatures, heavy snowfall, and icy conditions.

Choosing the Right Cover for Your Climate

When selecting a pool cover, consider your local weather patterns and long-term cost-effectiveness:

1. Mild Climates: If you live in an area with mild winters and minimal debris, the Deluxe cover may be sufficient. Its annual replacement ensures you always have a fresh cover at an affordable price.
2. Moderate Climates: For regions with occasional harsh weather or moderate debris, the Supreme cover offers a great balance of durability and value. Its 12-year warranty means you won't need to replace it as frequently as the Deluxe model.
3. Harsh Winter Climates: If you experience heavy snowfall, ice storms, or severe winter conditions, the Ultimate cover is your best bet. Its superior strength and 20-year warranty make it a wise long-term investment for protecting your pool in challenging environments.

Additional Considerations

• Overlap: All three covers feature a 4" overlap, ensuring a secure fit around your pool's edge.
• Binding: The 1.5" binding on each cover helps prevent fraying and extends the cover's lifespan.
• Color: While color may seem purely aesthetic, darker covers like the Ultimate's black design can help absorb heat, potentially assisting in melting snow and ice.

By carefully considering your climate, budget, and long-term needs, you can choose the perfect above ground pool cover from EZ Pool & Spa Supply. Whether you opt for the economical Deluxe, the balanced Supreme, or the heavy-duty Ultimate, you'll be taking an important step in protecting your pool investment and ensuring an easier opening when swim season returns.
