Pool Filter Covers are the must-have accessory for every Australian pool. Don’t let your pool equipment cramp your style. Cover your bits with SlatMe instead! Read on to learn a bit more about our Pool Filter Cover range and why we believe they are the very best in the business.
What is a Pool Filter Cover?
A Pool Filter Cover is essentially a fancy box that is designed to cover, protect and hide your pool equipment. They are typically available in a free standing or wall mounted configuration, and can be constructed from timber (if you like spending your weekends doing lots of maintenance and enjoy the idea of regretting your choice of pump cover) or extra strong and durable aluminium (for those of you who would prefer to be swimming instead of working during summer).
Higher quality options feature operable lids with gas struts and either one or two opening gates at the front for easy access to your pool equipment.
Larger sizes can also provide a practical and functional storage area for your pool gear, keeping everything neat as a pin and out of sight.
Do you need to cover your pool equipment?
The short answer is: yes! We believe all pool equipment should be covered, as this ensures your expensive swimming pool pump and filter are protected from the elements and extreme Australian weather conditions. Being outdoors, pool areas are often considered a “harsh environment”, so it makes sense to soften the impact on your pool with a pool pump cover.
It also looks about a thousand times better when a pool filter cover is installed! There’s nothing worse than being confronted by unsightly plumbing and pool gear when going for a swim. Except for maybe being confronted by your 80 year old Nan who’s just re-discovered skinny dipping! Yep, you just can’t un-see that unfortunately… Seriously, Nan. That was so not cool.
Anyway, back to business…
Many pool builders and local pool cleaning businesses are now recommending that all pool filters should be covered to provide an extra layer of protection for the equipment that protects your pool. There is also the potential added benefit of avoiding costly service and repair issues in the future. Who doesn’t like saving money?!
