When you live in Southeastern Wisconsin & MN, you must close your pool down each year for the winter. Closing your pool down helps to ensure that your pool doesn’t get damaged or risking freezing your plumbing lines.

A Pool safety cover is primarily used to winterize your pool at the end of the season.

Benefits of a Pool Safety Cover

Penguin Pools safety cover is made of an extremely strong mesh material that can support several hundred pounds without collapsing. Meaning that a two or three full-grown adults could comfortably stand on the cover without worry!

Most importantly: SAFETY
Mesh pool safety cover is anchored to your pool decking for safety
Winterizing your pool keeps winter debris out, making it easier to open in the spring
A Safety Cover allows snow to melt into the pool, raising the level of the water
Debris is easily removed prior to removing the cover, preventing it from going into the pool
Our covers block 99% of the sun coming through the cover, allowing for cleaner water when you open your pool for the year.
We use Latham's 7000MS Mesh!

Installation of your Pool Safety Cover is done when your pool is closed in the fall and isn’t included in the cost of the cover.

Automatic Pool Covers

Detail 1 Title: Automatic Pool Cover Stone Lids
Detail 1 Description: If you want a really sleek and clean look to your automatic pool cover, you can get a stone or paver lid. The automatic pool cover lid seems to disappear into the border around the pool. For stone lid brackets, there is $2,500 upcharge. This upcharge for what is needed to use the stone coping as the auto cover lid and doesn't include the actual cost of the stone or the labor to install the stone.
Detail 2 Title: Undertrack Auto Pool Cover

These auto covers are the most popular and have the cleanest look. These covers run under the flat work of the pool coping on any rectangle swimming pool. By running under the flatwork of the pool, the tracks stay cleaner and are barely noticed when walking around the pool.

Top track auto pool covers are used when you don’t have a rectangle pool and still want an auto cover. Penguin Pools runs flush tracks in the concrete so that your swimming pool will be completely covered. The tracking for top track auto covers gets placed just outside the widest part of the pool and runs the entire length of the pool.

So, for example, if your free-form pool is 16′ x 32′, your actual tracking will be 18′ x 37′. All our Top-Track automatic pool covers are custom-built to fit your pool.
Detail 4 Title: Pool 'n Pool Auto Pool Cover
Detail 4 Description:
Prices from - $20,999

A Pool-In-Pool auto cover system creates a rectangle step all the way around your non-rectangle swimming pool. The tracking for the auto cover is simply run under the step so that it is concealed and has a clean look. Pool ‘n Pool auto cover systems give you all the benefits of an undertrack system, even though you don’t have a rectangle pool. Each Pool ‘n Pool auto cover is unique and that drives the pricing up a little more compared to an undertrack system.

This automatic pool cover is great for people who want the undertrack auto cover look, but still want to have a free-form pool.

Penguin Pools offers the greatest safety you can have around your swimming pool: an automatic pool cover. These covers automatically open and close your pool with a simple touch of a button. We offer CoverStar and APC covers, the leaders in automatic pool covers. Not only will your automatic pool cover close your pool in less than 60 seconds, it also provides a safe environment for children. Auto covers can hold up to 485 lbs. in a 5′ radius. Strong enough for grown adults to stand on! Each auto cover we provide is custom-made to your pool’s exact requirements. Think of it as your pool’s own fingerprint.

Solar Pool Covers

Detail 1 Title: Solar Covers

Detail 2 Description:
Liquid pool covers have been proven to reduce overnight heat loss by about 50%, so if you are not heating your pool, you will be able to keep your water warmer, for a longer period of time. As an added bonus, a liquid cover will also lower your water loss, so you won't have to refill your pool as often!
- CoverFree Solar Cover: $36
- Dosage: 4oz
- Duration: 1 week
- Bottles per Season: ~2
No need to mess with a solar cover and try to find a place to store it, CoverFree is a liquid that you apply weekly with no hassle or mess.

Solar pool covers are inexpensive and easy to put over the pool. They help keep heater costs to a minimum, but, and we have to stress this: they offer absolutely NO SAFETY FEATURES.

A Solar Cover offers pool owners an inexpensive way to cover your swimming pool and help reduce water evaporation. Solar covers are meant for everyday use during the pool season, but are not meant for winterizing your pool. Solar covers will help transfer the sun's rays into your pool water while also reducing the evaporation of water from your pool. Over 70% of your pools' heat loss comes from evaporation.

Solar covers are relatively easy to put on and take off on a daily basis, but we must stress they don’t provide any safety features. If you are looking for a pool cover to help heat your pool and keep it clean, look at our automatic pool cover they also provide great safety for you and your family.
Solar covers are nothing more than “glorified bubble wrap” intended solely to reduce evaporation. To make your life even easier with the cover, Penguin Pools offers reels to aid you in rolling your solar covers in and out each day. If you don't want to deal with the hassle of a solar cover and where you put it when it isn't on the pool, we also offer CoverFree a liquid alternative.
