The normal pool covers are the vinyl covers that are laid on the pool and fixed with the help of sand bags or some other heavy objects on the corners of the swimming pool. They are temporary pool covers which can be removed easily as they are lightweight.


Though, safety covers are one of the most reliable covers when it comes to a season long covering for your swimming pool. They are like a barrier to the swimming pool.
