Loop-Loc 20' x 40' Solid Rectangle Safety Cover | 2' Offset 4' x 8' Left Side Step | LLSP204048SSL2

A typical solid vinyl pool cover is little more than a tarp to put over your pool. It does not prevent children or pets from gaining access to the pool. All safety covers must conform to the Standard Performance Specification set by the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). According to the ASTM, a safety cover must be able to support a certain amount of weight, not permit gaps that a child or pet could squeeze through, and remove standing water.LOOP-LOC safety pool coversfar exceed minimum ASTM standards. Built from extremely strong material and secured tightly to the deck by heavy-duty springs and brass anchors, a LOOP-LOC safety cover puts a "lock" on a pool that will prevent children and pets from gaining access to the water.

Since LOOP-LOC'sinceptionin 1978, we have proudly manufactured all of our products in the U.S.A. Our 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is located in Hauppauge, New York. Our expertly trained personnel, from office to manufacturing, are dedicated to providing you with the safest cover on the market today and outstanding customer support.

Underwriters Laboratories (known as U.L.) is an outside testing company. Many cover companies will claim that they meet the ASTM standard F1346-91 for manual safety covers, but have not followed up with the outside testing agencies that perform all of the actual tests listed in the ASTM guideline. At LOOP-LOC, we are so proud of the safe, high-quality cover that we manufacture that we went the extra step to confirm that we not only meet but also exceed the guidelines set forth for safety swimming pool covers, earning LOOP-LOC the U.L. seal of approval.

First, make sure it says "LOOP-LOC" on your contract when you order. Then, examine your cover when it arrives. All LOOP-LOC covers (including ULTRA-LOC) have the LOOP-LOC name woven right into the straps. If you don't see LOOP-LOC on the cover, it's not a LOOP-LOC!

A swimming pool is always a magnet for children. At times when you are not around to supervise or your family is away from home, wandering children and pets from the neighborhood may attempt to enter your pool. Even if you have a locked gate (which is a great extra layer of protection), a determined toddler will often be able breach it. Only the security of asafety covercan ensure that no one will be able to gain access to the pool while you are away.

All LOOP-LOC covers meet the ASTM guidelines for safety covers and have been U.L. certified. As such they will easily support the weight of a child or an adult in an emergency. However, we do not recommend ever walking on the cover, and children, adults and pets should never be allowed to play on top of a LOOP-LOC or any other type of pool cover. Adult supervision is always required around any swimming pool area. To clean or clear debris off of a safety cover we recommend the use of a long handled broom, skimmer, or simply hose down. It is also important to remember that as a cover ages it may encounter U.V. deterioration which over time can affect the safety features. It is recommended that you periodically check your cover for signs of this, or contact your swimming pool professional to make a determination. Adult Supervision is always required around any swimming pool area.

Collected water on a cover is a hazard in itself. There have unfortunately been cases of children and pets who have wandered out on a cover filled with water and slippery debris, become trapped and drowned. That is why the ASTM Performance Specification states that no pool cover can call itself a safety cover if it does not provide for water removal.

No! It is very important to maintain proper water level to help support the weight of snow and ice on the cover and prevent excess wear. ForLOOP-LOC mesh covers, water level should be 15" to 18" below the top of the pool. ForULTRA-LOC solid covers, water level should be 12" to 16" below the top of the pool. If proper water level is not maintained, the warranty will be void.

Absolutely! LOOP-LOC's anchor-in-pipe installation is the perfect application for paver/brick decks. The pipe holds the anchors firmly into place allowing the cover to remain taut all winter long. No wear and tear on the deck and the cover will not pull or ruin pavers/bricks whatsoever. For additional information on anchor-in-pipe, contact your LOOP-LOC dealer or our customer support department.

For decks and/or coping that are rough, LOOP-LOC recommends the use of additional undercover padding to prevent premature wear on the cover. Undercover padding supplied by LOOP-LOC can be purchased from yourswimming pool professional. The use of indoor/outdoor carpeting can also be a good alternative to prevent premature wear in these situations.

LOOP-LOC Safety pool covers are manufactured to conform to ASTM standards which state that a safety cover must hold "two adults' and one child's weights" in the event of an emergency. LOOP-LOCshows an elephanton our mesh cover to prove that we not only meet but exceed the ASTM standards. We used an elephant due to its large flat feet. Elephants do not have hooves or sharp nails like other animals. Thus the elephant, for demonstration of weight purposes, was able to walk on the cover and walk off without causing damage. Other animals such as horses, deer and dogs can do damage to the material of the cover due to the sharpness of their hooves or paws, which unfortunately is not covered under the15-year pro-rated warranty. It is highly recommended to add a fence around your pool area to protect your horses, or other animals with sharp hooves that may slice through the fabric of a safety swimming pool cover.

IMPORTANT AUTOMATIC PUMP INSTRUCTIONS: FOR SOLID COVERS THAT DO NOT HAVE DRAIN PANELS The automatic cover pump supplied with your solid cover is used to remove water that accumulates on your LOOP-LOC cover. In addition to water accumulating due to rain and/or melting snow, water may seep up through the material seams during the winter months when snow and ice force the cover to come into contact with the pool water. Left unchecked: there is a strong possibility that a substantial amount of pool water may be pumped out of the pool. Once the cover begins to exceed the depressed level of 16" below the deck, excess stress is placed on the cover, hardware, pool, coping and deck. At this point, cover/hardware failure is possible, which will void the cover warranty. Loop-Loc is not responsible for any damage that may occur due to this condition. If this pool-pumping condition exists: it is necessary to correct the pools' water level immediately. By removing accumulated snow from the skimmer box, you will be able to check to see if the water levels have dropped and if additional water needs to be added into the swimming pool. If uncertain, please contact your swimming pool professional immediately. When snow and iceaccumulates and remains on the solid cover it is recommended to disconnect the pump if it will be frozen in ice for an extended period of time. It is important to immediately reconnect the pump once the snow & ice begin to melt. When leaving your home unattended for extended periods oftime:it is highly recommended to have your swimming pool professional periodically check your water levels, or if that is not possible to have a friend or neighbor check on and fix the above conditions.

Yes, during the winter months it is extremely important to make sure your water levels are proper. The guidelines are as follows: Mesh covers: 15" – 18" below the top of the swimming pool Solid covers: 12" – 16" below the top of the of the swimming pool This is important for supporting the weight of the snow on the cover. Allowing the water levels to drop below the recommendations will put excess stress on the cover, may cause damage, and will void your warranty. We recommend that you clear some snow from your skimmer box and check the water levels and add water when levels are low, or contact your swimming pool professional to come and evaluate for you.
