When most people shop for an automatic pool cover, they focus on the mechanism, the price, or how it looks. What often gets overlooked is the fabric itself, and that turns out to be one of the most important parts of the whole system.
At Mizu, we put a lot of thought into the materials we use. Here is why that matters for you.
Pool Covers Take a Beating
Your pool cover is outside every day. It deals with direct sun exposure, pool chemicals, moisture, debris, and in many climates, snow and freezing temperatures. A fabric that is not built for those conditions will start to show it over time, through fading, fraying, shrinkage, or loss of strength. Once the fabric goes, the cover stops doing its job.
That is why Mizu uses premium-grade replacement fabrics that are specifically engineered for durability, performance, and long-term protection in harsh pool environments.
What Makes Mizu Fabric Different
Every fabric we use is 17-ounce heavy-duty vinyl, built to withstand everyday wear and extreme conditions. It is certified for safety, UV and chemical resistance, tear and abrasion resistant, and designed with minimal shrinkage so your cover maintains a secure fit and smooth operation over time.
We also custom-build replacement fabrics to fit most automatic pool cover brands and systems, not just our own. So if your current cover needs a fabric replacement, there is a good chance we can build one that fits.
Heat-Sealed Webbing Technology
Most pool cover fabrics are stitched together. Over time, stitching can fray, separate, and fail. Mizu uses Coverstar’s patented heat-sealed bonding process, which fuses the webbing directly to the fabric rather than sewing it on. The result is a bond that is over two times stronger than traditional sewn webbing, lab-tested for long-term durability, and built to hold up without fraying or separating over time.
It also gives the cover a cleaner appearance, with color-matched webbing options available. This technology is backed by a 7-year warranty.
Color Options That Last
Choosing a fabric color is not just about aesthetics. A color that holds up against UV exposure year after year means your cover still looks good long after installation. Mizu offers 10 standard fabric colors including Navy, Royal Blue, Light Blue, Aqua, Forest Green, Tan, Mocha, Grey, Charcoal, and Black, all made from the same durable 17-ounce vinyl.
The Bottom Line
A pool cover is only as good as the fabric it is made from. When you invest in a Mizu cover, you are getting a fabric that is built to perform in real-world conditions, not just look good on a spec sheet. That means fewer replacements, less maintenance, and a cover that keeps doing its job season after season.
