When winter hits Maryland and Virginia, pool owners face harsh weather: snow, ice, freezing rain, and temperature swings that can damage pool surfaces, equipment, and create safety hazards. With over 30 years of experience selling and installing Loop-Loc safety covers, Leisure Contracting LLC knows protecting your pool through winter isn’t just about keeping debris out—it’s about safety, reducing maintenance, and preserving value.
Engineered for Extreme Strength & Safety
Loop-Loc safety covers are among the most rigorously tested in the industry. They meet and exceed the ASTM F 1346-91 standard for safety pool covers and carry the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) seal of approval. If you’ve heard of Loop-Loc’s famous test with “Bubbles the Elephant,” that isn’t just for show—it’s proof of extraordinary strength. Loop-Loc covers are so strong they’ve been tested to support the weight of an elephant, ensuring they can handle heavy snow, ice, or other winter loads.
Materials Built to Withstand Winter’s Wear & Tear
Maryland and Virginia winters bring freezing temperatures, snow, ice melt, and repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Loop-Loc covers are built to endure with:
- Super Dense Mesh that blocks sunlight to help prevent algae while allowing rain and snow to drain.
- Aqua-Xtreme Virtually Solid Mesh that blocks light, drains quickly, and is lighter than solid covers.
- Solid ULTRA-LOC III Covers made with premium vinyl and rip-stop scrim for durability.
Loop-Loc also uses double-perimeter webbing, double-thick straps, and non-corrosive stainless steel springs to resist rust and maintain strength through winter.
Designed for Local Conditions & Easy Maintenance
In our area, winter often means wet snow, ice, thawing, and refreezing. Loop-Loc’s drainage-friendly designs help avoid damage caused by standing water or excessive snow loads. Mesh allows water to pass through; solid covers often use drain panels or pumps for water management. Patented safety treatments like CABLE-LOC™ and GAPGUARD® barriers reduce child-safety risks around raised decks or waterfalls. Winter maintenance is also manageable: keep water levels 15–18 inches below the pool edge, maintain strap tension, inspect for wear, and use chemical winterization so the pool opens clean in spring.
