Meycolite
This pool cover material, since it’s the lightest weight, is
used on the worlds largest pool covers. Some pool covers get so big,
Meyco will break it into smaller pieces that combine to make 1 safety
pool cover. This material and the pool cover design has been tested time
and time again from cars crashing on to it to tornados trying to rip
it away, the original concept of this pool cover came from looking for
an alternative to the dangerous, labor intensive way of closing pools.
Working with a prominent pool builder in CT, Fred Meyer worked on several
materials before coming up with an early ancestor to Meycolite.
RuggedMesh
As good as the Meycolite
is, the RuggedMesh came to be as way of offering something different
to the industry in mesh form. It was actually one of our competitors
who to their credit, really pushed for this innovation and encouraged
a material manufacturer to develope an early version of what we now
call
RuggedMesh.
The Meyco version of the RuggedMesh Pool cover is designed to filter
out finer particles and block more sunlight but its also designed to
be a little stronger than another similar pool cover. The one thing
to consider with the Ruggedmesh Safety Cover is its not as forgiving
as the Meycolite Safety cover. RuggedMesh pool covers can puddle easier
as it may lose tension since its slower to drain and as its filtering
mechanism begins to clog. You need a little more maintenance with the
Rugged Mesh Safety Cover as it should be cleaned much better after
a winter use.
PermaGuard-Lite
The Solid Safety cover was
designed to keep the water’s chemicals in the pool longer, keep
out the sunlight and keep out finer debris. This will allow you to
open a very clean pool in the spring. The only negative is the Solid
safety Pool Cover is heavier and not as easy to manage. Since it’s
a solid, it also means water stays on top of the pool cover and the
debris that would normally blow off your pool cover, is now stuck onto
your cover. Meyco developed the lightweight pool cover called Permaguard
to help mitigate some of these problems, but they are still something
to be aware of.
