MEYCO THE ORIGINAL SAFETY POOL COVER
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.
