Safety Cover Installation
Automatic safety covers can be installed on both new and existing swimming pools as well as various sizes and shapes of pools. Some pools require additional considerations to install a safety cover on due to irregular shapes or obstacles on the pool deck. In new swimming pool construction the safety cover is designed into the pool and as a result is almost invisible in the finished product. Existing swimming pools can also be covered and multiple design and style options are available depending on the shape of your pool and layout of your pool deck.
Automatic Safety Covers
While an automatic safety cover will cost anywhere from $7500 to $15,000 once installed there is simply no better and no safer choice for your swimming pool. You will see an increase in heat and chemical efficiency in your pool upwards of 90% and the ease of use ensures that your cover is always on the pool when not in use.
Over the lifetime of the cover you are certain to gain back your investment in just chemical and heating cost savings. You also gain the peace of mind of knowing that your pool is secure and safe.
A motor and assembly pit as well as tracks running the length of the pool must be installed for the cover to operate. These items can often be recessed into the pool deck for an impeccible and clean finished product, or encapsulated in the coping of the pool. Existing pools may require the addition of a motor and roller assembly pit at one end of the pool which is exposed above ground, where as new construction allows you to bury the motor and roller pit completely.
