Question 1

Do the tracks have to be installed on top of the deck around the pool?

Accepted Answer

On new pools the tracks are built into the side walls of the pool or set flush into the deck around the pool. On existing pools the tracks are installed on top of the deck around the pool. The tracks are a little over two inches wide but only about a quarter inch high, with a rounded top surface.

Question 2

Are all brands of pool covers of equal quality?

Accepted Answer

By no means! While it is true that all safety pool covers must meet the Federal Standard of supporting 485 lbs. in a 5 foot radius, there are many features of Coverstar covers that make them the top of the line in quality and reliability.

Question 3

What will an automatic cover cost?

Accepted Answer

The installed cost of an automatic safety cover will vary with the size and layout of the pool. For average sized residential pools, ballpark figures are about $10,000 to $15,000.

Question 4

Can an Automatic Safety Cover be installed on odd shaped pools?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! On odd shaped pools the parallel tracks will be installed at the widest point of the pool, which means that some deck area will be covered when the cover is closed.
