If you own a pool or are thinking about installing one, there’s one feature you should never overlook—an automatic safety pool cover. It’s not just about keeping leaves out or the water warm. It’s about safety, convenience and long-term care for one of your biggest outdoor investments.
At Riverside Pools, we know a well-designed pool is only as good as its maintenance and safety measures. That’s why we offer everything from bespoke pool design and construction to automatic safety covers, giving you peace of mind and a pool that works for your lifestyle.
Why Safety Covers Matter
Pools are meant to be enjoyed, but they also come with responsibility. Whether you’ve got young children, pets, or simply want to feel confident when your pool’s not in use, automatic safety pool covers are essential.
These covers are engineered to support weight and prevent accidents, acting as a solid barrier when the pool is closed. Unlike traditional tarpaulin or manual covers, they operate at the push of a button and seal your pool completely. This means no slipping, no gaps and no worries about someone wandering into the pool unattended.
Year-Round Benefits
Beyond safety, automatic covers have several benefits that make them a smart choice for pool owners across Hampshire.
Energy efficiency- Keeping the heat in is crucial, especially if you’re using your pool outside the summer months. An automatic cover traps warmth in the water, reducing your heating costs and extending your swim season.
Cleaner water- An open pool attracts everything from leaves to insects. A sealed cover keeps out debris, which means less time skimming and vacuuming, and more time actually enjoying your pool.
Chemical savings- By reducing evaporation, you also limit chemical loss. That means you’ll spend less money on maintenance products over time—and avoid the constant balancing act of keeping your pool water just right.
Less wear and tear- When your pool is protected from the elements, it lasts longer. Your liner, filters and pumps don’t have to work as hard, which reduces maintenance costs and extends the life of your entire setup.
Bespoke Pool Design Meets Everyday Practicality
At Riverside Pools, we specialise in bespoke pool design and construction that blends seamlessly into your outdoor space. Whether you’re planning a sleek modern build, a traditional family pool, or something in between, we’ll work with you to design something that fits your vision and your lifestyle.
But a beautiful pool isn’t complete without the right protection. That’s where our automatic safety pool covers come in. We design each system to fit your specific pool, so the cover looks like part of the pool itself—not an afterthought. The result is a clean, sleek finish that’s easy to operate and reliable year-round.
