We’re an authorized Merlin dealer. Your serial number lets us order an exact replacement from the original factory pattern, with straps that match your existing anchors. Keep your current material and color, or select something different.
Buying another cover in the same size and shape can leave you drilling new holes in your deck. Replacing from the original factory pattern keeps the straps lined up with your existing anchors. With your serial number, you don’t need to send in your old cover.
Ameri-BrandAuthorized Merlin Dealer
ASTM F1346 covers safety-cover performance and labeling. Merlin’s owner guide describes its mesh and solid safety covers as meeting or exceeding ASTM safety-cover standards when properly installed, subject to these exceptions.
Use an undamaged cover designed for your pool, with required step risers, gap fillers and raised-wall cables. Solid covers and SolidMesh need a working pump or mesh drain panel. Installations using lawn stakes or aluminum tubes for more than 25% of the cover are excluded.
Start with the paperwork from your existing safety cover.
If your home came with a Merlin cover, look for any warranty or purchase paperwork left by the previous owner. The pool address and original owner’s name can also help us look for the factory record.

A repair may extend your cover’s life when the surrounding material is still sound.
Some pool covers can be repaired; others are better replaced. Age plays an important role, but the condition of the fabric, straps and stitching matters just as much. A cover with isolated damage and otherwise sound material may be a good candidate for repair.
On an older cover, replacing a worn strap or renewing the stitching may not provide a lasting solution. The new strap and stitching can be stronger than the aged material they attach to, leaving the surrounding fabric vulnerable to tearing or further failure. Repairing one area does not restore strength to the rest of the cover.
That’s why an inspection considers the entire cover, not just the visible damage. If repair is practical, you can review the recommended work and price. If the surrounding material is too deteriorated, replacement may be the safer and more economical option.
