How Automatic Pool Covers Work
Modern automatic pool systems combine engineering, durable materials, and reliable controls to provide years of dependable operation.
Seasonal Use and Winter Protection
Automatic covers provide benefits throughout the year and require different care depending on season.
Open the cover when you arrive and close it when you’re finished. Regular use keeps the mechanism working smoothly. Clear debris promptly to prevent stains and excess weight.
You can keep the cover closed all winter or retract and winterize separately. We can advise on the best option. Check occasionally for snow or standing water to avoid strain or damage.
Close the cover before storms to block debris and reduce water disruption. Afterward, inspect the fabric and mechanism for debris or damage.
Types of Automatic Cover Systems
Because every pool and homeowner has unique needs, various automatic cover systems are designed to accommodate different pool shapes, structural setups, and personal preferences.
Choosing the right system ensures the best fit, performance, and overall satisfaction.
Recessed systems provide the cleanest appearance. Tracks sit flush with the deck, and the mechanism housing can be concealed beneath decking or an attractive enclosure. These systems work well for rectangular pools and create minimal visual impact.
Surface-mounted tracks sit on top of the deck. Installation is simpler and works well when subsurface installation isn't practical. While more visible than recessed systems, modern surface-mount hardware is low-profile and unobtrusive.
Undertrack designs place all mechanical components beneath the deck. This creates an extremely clean appearance with no visible hardware except the leading edge when the cover is deployed. These systems require more extensive installation but deliver superior aesthetics.
