Few things are more annoying that walking by your pool and noticing there are leaves on the bottom of the pool only to find that when you remove the leaf it has left a lasting impression that is not a positive one....A STAIN! Leaves have a tenedency to do that and in Puerto Rico there is certainly an abundance of leaves since the weather never gets cold, the trees grow year round and thus making the cleaning of the pools a year round job as well (no compaints about year round warm weather for sure!). The challenge is to protect your pool from the arch enemy...leaves. There are two answers when it comes to pool covers. The first is the pin down pool safety/leaf cover and then there is the automatic pool cover (this would be the Mercedes of pool covers or leaf defense). The prices of these products are in variance according to a couple of different aspects. The size of the pool is the first aspect, the shape of the pool (rectangle is easier than say a kidney shaped pool) and last but not least any obstructions that the pool cover has to be built a special way in order to prevent one of the straps from being placed in the very same spot as a ladder. In other words, if you have a square pool and no ladder or waterfall and things of the such, it should be fairly easy to measure, if you have a more complicated shape pool then you will need to have a professional take an AB line measurement and other critical measurements to make sure that your custom pool cover will fit exactly. The time to measure these usually takes about an hour to two hours. The data then has to be sent to the manufacturer and built. The finished product is then shipped (this may take a week or so for the company to build it and then ship) to the professional and then installed. The installation process could take as little as four hours and some of the more complex covers may take up to a full day or a little more (pools that have waterfalls, multiple layers etc.).
