Hello and welcome to PoolSide Chat presented by www.inyopools.com
I'm Rob & I'm Matt
Our Q&A Show is centered around questions from pool owners that we receive through our website
We got our first question... Rob take it away.
Our First Question is from Andy in Akron
Andy would like to know if he can use a standard cover on a free form pool
Thank you for the question Andy and secondly go Zips!
The question can be broken down into 2 different answers 1 for winter covers and 1 for safety covers. Rob will take winter covers.
For winter covers you can definitely use a standard cover for a free form pool.
You just need to measure the longest longest length and the widest width of your pool and get a rectangle that will cover your entire pool
With safety covers not so much
With Safety Covers it is a very hard no.
With free form pools you have twists and turns and things like that.
With a stock safety cover it is going to be rectangle only.
That's the only shape it is going to fit, its not going to fit an oval, a grecian, a roman or anything like that.
The reason for that is because on the bottom around the edge of the safety cover there are little rub strips.
Those rub strips are meant to go around the edge of the pool. touching the deck rather than the fabric of the safety cover touching the edge of the pool deck.
The reason being is that safety cover fabric vs. concrete....the concrete will win 100% of the time
It's like when the gators face UCF it's not going to go very well. No offense Rob.
None Taken.
The only way to get a Safety Cover to work for your free form pool is that you will have to fill out our custom safety cover form here.
here or there
Go for it wherever you want click just do is just click click the screen right now just do it
If you have any questions about how to do that you can always contact us if you have any questions about filling out the form.
That should answer Andy's question.
Now for the second question from Darlene.
she's looking to replace parts on her above ground pool.but she doesn't know the make or model. She wants to know if we can help.
Well Darlene we can definitely help you.
What we will need is some pictures of the pool so we can identify the model.
What you'll need is picture of the outside pool top to bottom and a picture of where the top rails meet the upright.
You can send those upload@inyopools.com and will try to identify the model and help you out.
reason for asking for pictures the main reason we gotta know what the part goes to
I always liken it too taking a car to a mechanic and saying I need a bracket
he's going to ask what the make model
If you just say the car's 8' long then he's not going to be able to help you. He's going to need to know the make and model.
there's a ton of different above ground pool parts out there, manufactures change names.
dealers will change the names of the manufacturer's brand once they get to there store.
It may leave the factory as Zanzibar but the local dealer will sell it as an Atlantis.
So we need to know exactly what pool make and model you have to make sure we can get it.
Once you send the pictures over to upload@inyopools.com our above ground pool parts desk will take a look at it and hopefully identify it and send you back part #'s and a price
If we don't sell parts for it then we will of course tell you sorry and we may be able to point you in a correct direction maybe so maybe not.
It sounds like that's it for Darlene
Hopefully we answered your question Darlene.
