Automatically Covered Advantages
NOW SEEN MORE AS AN ESSENTIAL RATHER THAN A LUXURY, POOL COVERS ARE THE FIRST STEP TO HELP OWNERS SAVE MONEY AND MAKE POOLS ‘GREENER’. AN AUTOMATIC COVER GOES A STEP FURTHER BY PROVIDING A LABOUR SAVING AND STYLISH SOLUTION WITH THE ADDITIONAL BENEFITS OF BUILT IN SAFETY. INNOVATIONS IN THE SECTOR MEAN THERE IS MORE CHOICE THAN EVER BEFORE
AND WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT WHAT’S AVAILABLE THIS YEAR By Karen Witney I
ndoor or outdoor pools, new build or renovations, all pools would be improved by the installation of an automatic pool cover. At the touch of a button or turn of a key the pool can be opened or closed in the blink of an eye. Safety around the pool is a given and many automatic covers are manufactured purely to fill this role. Slatted covers can also double as safety covers with the introduction of a ‘ledge’ in the pool. A well designed aesthetically pleasing automatic cover will not only add value to the pool but also significantly reduce running costs by preventing valuable heat loss, reducing chemical consumption and cutting down on time spent on maintenance. The start of the new season provides an excellent opportunity to identify to pool owners and prospective pool owners the many benefits of investing in a reliable and cutting edge automatic pool cover.
FAIRLOCKS AND COVREX® OPTIMUM INSTALLATIONS Now a first choice for many discerning pool companies and end users, the robust and energy saving Covrex®

Fairlocks Pool Products can be used on any pool, whether existing or under construction. With seven different applications there is no doubt that installing a Covrex®
insulated
slatted cover is a failsafe option. All drive systems are produced on dimension in the Covrex®
factory in Belgium, and are
composed of stainless steel 316L. For standard dimensions, a 200 Nm motor, enables installation of the drive system without having to drill through the pool walls, or without having to install an external motor in a pit, which can suffer from water ingress. The standard top mount application consists of a system of two mounting supports and a shaft which are positioned above the pool. The motor is fitted inside the shaft to reduce the space required which makes the assembly simple and ideal for both new and retro fit applications.

The top mount with frame is similar to a standard top mount system, but this option has the added benefit of a composite wooden style casing that can also be used as a bench. The underwatermount standard is the most popular system, with a flooded pit (letterbox) at the end of the pool. The motor is situated
inside the shaft and the cable goes up the inside of the pit which means there is no need to provide access through the wall (hole in the pool) for installation. The cover is secured under a wooden decking. Underwatermount with overflow skimmer is the ideal solution when building a new pool. It is provided with an overflow skimmer that allows the water level to be set just under the coping stones (about 3cm), which gives a splendid look to the pool. On top of an aesthetic solution, it also makes construction of the pool easier, since there is no need to install additional traditional skimmers. The drive system is delivered pre-assembled and only has to be fixed in the pool and connected to the existing filter system. The pool bottom bench system is ideal for retro fit as no pit is required which means the surface area of the pool is unaffected. It is available in two versions; polyester or stainless steel. The stainless steel version is delivered pre-built and just has to be fixed to the pool floor or walls. The stainless steel casing can be tiled, or a liner can be fixed to it. The polyester version is available in three standard colours (light blue, white, and light grey)
