Whether you’re building a pool in your backyard or you’re already the proud owner of an in-ground pool, it’s important to understand just how important it is to have a cover to protect your investment. Automatic pool covers are safe, reliable, and easy to use. You can open or close your automatic safety cover with the push of a button. Automatic pool covers offer incredible peace of mind for homeowners who want to prevent accidents or keep loved ones and pets out of harm’s way.
Automatic pool covers are reliable and easy to use. Simply flip a switch, and your Coverstar or Pool Cover Specialists automatic safety cover will create a barrier over your pool that no child or pet can penetrate. All automatic covers are custom-built to fit your pool perfectly and manufactured from best-in-class materials.
How Does an Automatic Pool Cover Work?
Automatic inground safety covers work with the help of a few key elements, specifically tracks and a small, efficient motor. Typically, on one end of the pool, there will be a sleek “roller” where the pool cover material rolls up and is stored when not in use. When the switch is activated, the motor turns on and the electric pool cover automatically rolls across the pool area with the help of two tracks on either side of the pool. These tracks can be built inside the lip of the pool for a seamless design, or lay on either side of the pool, above ground.
Electric pool covers require professional installation, a licensed electrician should run all wires and make connections to the breaker box.
