GLI 55-1700IG-SC Hyperlite Solid Safety Cover — Rectangle 18 ft × 36 ft

Protect your pool, family, and investment with the GLI 55-1700IG-SC Hyperlite Solid Safety Cover. Designed for rectangular in-ground pools measuring 18 feet by 36 feet, this cover delivers dependable safety, unbeatable debris exclusion, and practical ease of use when the swimming season ends. It’s more than a cover—it’s a smart, long-term approach to pool winterization and everyday peace of mind.

Why a solid safety cover makes a difference

• Complete debris blockade: The solid panel design keeps leaves, dirt, and bugs out of the water, dramatically reducing the need for heavy spring cleaning and chemical adjustments.
• Sunlight and algae control: Blocking sunlight slows algae growth during the off-season, helping you reopen with clearer water and fewer surprises.
• Enhanced safety: A solid, taut cover provides a robust barrier that discourages unsupervised access, supporting child and pet safety when the pool is not in use.
• Durable, lightweight construction: Hyperlite technology emphasizes easier handling and installation without sacrificing strength—especially helpful for seasonal setup and takedown.
• Long-lasting fit for 18' × 36' pools: Precision sizing ensures a secure, snug fit that minimizes wind flutter and water pooling, extending the cover’s effectiveness across seasons.

Smart design features that matter in real use

• Rectangle-specific geometry: Tailored to a standard 18 ft × 36 ft pool, providing even coverage across the entire surface and reducing edge exposure where debris can collect.
• Reinforced seams and hardware: Built to withstand winter winds and frost cycles, keeping strength where it’s needed most and reducing the risk of seam failure over time.
• Low-profile profile: The cover sits neatly across the pool, minimizing bulk on coping and simplifying routine maintenance and seasonal removal.
• Quiet, secure anchoring potential: Compatible with common anchor systems used for safety covers, giving you a dependable, secure installation that stays put during storms.

Ideal use cases and who benefits most

This solid safety cover is an excellent fit for:

• Homeowners with families or pets who want an added layer of pool safety when the pool isn’t in use.
• Pools in regions with heavy leaf fall or frequent debris that benefit from a robust debris barrier.
• Seasonal swimmers who want a quick, efficient reopening process—less scrubbing, fewer surprises, faster laps back in the water.
• Owners seeking to curb algae blooms by limiting sunlight during the off-season, reducing chemical loads at opening.

Practical tips for best results

• Schedule professional installation or guidance to ensure a perfectly taut, secure fit across the entire 18' × 36' surface.
• Clean the cover annually with a gentle, pH-balanced soap and rinse well to preserve fabric integrity and color.
• Before winter, perform a quick inspection for any abrasions or damage, addressing issues promptly to maintain safety and performance.
• Store the cover according to manufacturer guidelines during off-seasons where possible, keeping it dry and out of direct sunlight when not in use.
• Use compatible safety accessories (anchors, straps, and tensioning hardware) as recommended to maximize safety and longevity.

Unlike traditional mesh or loose-fitting covers, the Hyperlite Solid Safety Cover combines robust debris exclusion with a user-friendly handling experience.
