Winter Pool Covers in Virginia Beach: Hydra Mesh & Solid Safety Covers

As pool season comes to an end, installing the right winter pool cover is an important part of protecting your swimming pool. For homeowners in Virginia Beach, winter weather, falling leaves, rain, and debris can create additional maintenance challenges during the months when the pool is not being used.

At Fox Pools, we install custom Hydra safety covers, including the Hydra 98.9 Ultra Mesh and Hydra Solid Vinyl Covers, to provide Virginia Beach homeowners with dependable protection throughout the winter.

Hydra 98.9 Ultra Mesh Winter Pool Covers

The Hydra 98.9 Ultra Mesh is an advanced mesh safety cover designed to provide excellent protection while remaining lightweight and easy to manage.

Its tightly woven material blocks 98.9% of sunlight, helping reduce algae growth during the off-season. The mesh construction also allows rain and melting snow to drain through the cover while keeping leaves and debris out of the pool.

Because the cover is self-draining, homeowners typically don’t need a cover pump to remove standing water. This makes the Hydra 98.9 Ultra Mesh an excellent option for Virginia Beach pool owners looking for a combination of safety, durability, low maintenance, and convenience.

Hydra Solid Vinyl Winter Pool Covers

For homeowners who want maximum protection from sunlight and debris, Hydra Solid Vinyl Covers provide a complete barrier over the pool. These solid safety covers block 100% of sunlight, helping minimize algae growth, while preventing dirt, leaves, and other debris from entering the pool throughout the winter. Because water does not drain through the solid material, a cover pump or drain panel is required to remove accumulated water.

Solid vinyl covers are also heavier-duty, making professional installation and removal particularly important.

Custom-Fit Winter Pool Covers for Virginia Beach Pools

Whether you choose Hydra 98.9 Ultra Mesh or Hydra Solid Vinyl, Fox Pools has each safety cover custom measured to the exact shape and dimensions of your pool. Covers can be designed around features such as steps, rails, raised walls, and other pool obstacles.

Unlike a basic winter tarp secured with water tubes, a professionally installed safety cover is anchored to the pool deck and provides a much stronger barrier against accidental access by children and pets. It also helps keep your pool cleaner and can make your spring pool opening easier and less expensive.
