As with the Solar, this profile offers both insulation and the added benefit of adding heat. Another great option is the Clear Polycarbonate or Transparent Polycarbonate. Provided that there is good circulation underneath the cover, this heat will be distributed evenly around the swimming pool.

This configuration allows for the profile to absorb heat when in full sunlight and transfer this heat into the water. Solar Polycarbonate is a co-extrusion made up of a pitch black base and a tinted polycarbonate top. If any return visits are required due to incomplete work, they are billed at an additional cost to the customer.Solar Polycarbonate offers brilliant installation and has the added benefit of being able to add heat into the swimming pool. All electrical must be ready before cover can be scheduled for installation. Electrical also needs to be run from the system to the switch location (both conduit & wires). If not provided at time of system installation, a return trip is required and billed as an additional cost to the customer.Įxisting Pool - If a customer would like electricity pulled to the cover they are responsible for any electrical runs from the power source to the cover location (both conduit & wires). If an optional walk on lid has been added to the system, the customer provides the stones/concrete at time of system installation. Depending on the time of year and current workload we may not be available for extra tech visits even at an additional cost. If any return visits are required due to incomplete work, they are billed at an additional cost to the customer. Electrical also needs to be run from the system to the switch location.

New Build - Customer is responsible for building the vault ( download vault specs here ) to the correct dimensions including all drainage and any electrical runs from the power source to the vault location (both conduit & wires). Typically within 2-3 weeks in fall/winter and anywhere from 2-4 weeks in spring/summer. Installation time frames vary depending on the time of year. Once covers are received and confirmed as correct, you are contacted to arrange an installation date. Depending on the time of the year (spring and summer are the busiest!), production can take 2-3 weeks. The on-site measure confirms all the final dimensions. Typically within 2-3 weeks in fall/winter and anywhere from 2-4 weeks in spring/summer.Įxisting Pool - If you are simply adding a system to your existing deck and your pool meets the standards for installation, then the cover is measured and ordered as soon as a technician is available to complete an on-site measure. If construction is far enough along then installation can be scheduled. Measurements are taken directly off our installed track and your cover is ordered and production starts. These dimensions cannot be done based on spec sheets from your builder and need to be confirmed in person, once the pool has tile and coping. Your pool needs to be measured for final cover dimensions. New Build - It depends on where you are in your building process. A quick turn of the key will open and close the cover. A key switch or optional keypad are installed within site of the pool (as required by law). You can opt to add for an additional charge, a bench to enclose the cover from the elements year round.

The fabric is rolled up on a permanent housing system that sits at the deep end of your pool (typically 3 feet back from the edge of the pool) on top of your deck. These tracks will guide the fabric along the length of the pool. These brackets can hold your existing coping stones so the lid seamlessly blends in with your existing deck and is almost undetectable.Įxisting Pool - If your pool shape qualifies to have a system, you will have what is referred to as a “Deck Mounted” track system.

You can also choose to upgrade the aluminum lid to a “walk on lid”.

The housing system is covered by a standard aluminum lid. The fabric runs the length of the pool (under your coping) and rolls up on the housing system that sits just past the deepest end of your pool, under the coping. The pool needs to be built with the correct cover specs in order to accommodate the cover ( Download Vault Spec Sheet Here ).

This means the hardware for the cover and tracks are hidden in a vault and under the coping.

New Build - Most families who are building a new pool and want an automatic pool cover are looking for an under track/under guide pool cover system.
