Our pool covers have been officially tested by an independent laboratory (InterCity
Testing and Consulting) and found to meet and exceed American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) F1346-91 specifications. Our safety
mesh pool covers and solid vinyl pool
covers passed established performance tests with flying colors and meet ASTM safety cover
requirements for swimming pools, spas, hot tubs, and wading pools. When correctly installed and used in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, this specification is intended to reduce the risk of
drowning by inhibiting access to the water for children under five years of age.
Many companies claim their pool covers meet this specification, but many have never
been tested and few can prove it. This certification is not cheap, takes time, and is not readily handed
out. Our cover has gone the distance and earned the proper certifications to make this assertion. For your own protection, before ordering a safety cover from anyone, insist on seeing
actual documentation from an independent testing organization that verifies the ASTM
rating. This is important not only for obtaining a truly safe cover, but also for
meeting county and state regulations. During review, an inspector cannot just take your manufacturer's
word for it. Do not get caught with your bathing suit down, simply BELIEVING you have an approved
safety cover; KNOW you have one!
