Merlin SSS Safety Cover Spring (7½″ Stainless Steel)
Part Number: SSS
Description
Heavy-duty stainless steel tension spring designed for seasonal winter safety covers on in-ground swimming pools. The SSS model helps keep the cover taut, reducing sagging, debris accumulation and stress on anchors during harsh weather.
Compatibility & Fitment
- Intended for use with pool safety covers from Merlin® and other brands when anchor spacing, bracket placement or cover design calls for a 7½″ (approx) spring length.
- Fit for in-ground pool installations where maple-anchor systems or brass anchors are installed in the deck perimeter.
- Used when the original spring is corroded, stretched, broken or no longer able to maintain proper cover tension at anchor points.
Features & Specifications
- Material: 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion and salt-water resistance.
- Approximate free length: 7½″ when uncompressed.
- Designed to work in pairs with anchors to provide proper tension in the cover strap-and-spring system.
- Supports safe installation of winter safety covers, helping protect unattended pools from accidental entry and heavy debris loads.
Installation Notes
Before installation, ensure the pool cover anchors are set and the cover straps aligned. Rotate the spring assembly to engage and connect the strap hook to the spring loop, then mount the spring to the anchor. Gradually tension the strap until the safety cover lays flat and snug over the pool surface with no significant pockets. Verify anchor uniformity around the pool perimeter and replace any worn components. Re-check strap tension after the first storm cycle.
Maintenance Tip
At season-end, inspect each spring for corrosion, deformation or loss of tension. Replace springs showing visible wear, pitting or stretching beyond serviceable length—doing so helps maintain cover integrity, prevents sagging and supports the anchor system’s long-term durability.
